80954 - Posting to a form TARGET of _blank loses the posted cgi data

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72491

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Simon Banks]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010316
BuildID:    2001031614

While testing a web application with Netscape 6 I came accross a problem when
using "<FORM TARGET=_blank METHOD=POST>". Although a new blank window is opened
none of the forms data is accessable from the target page. If I remove _blank or
change it to an existing frame/browser window it works without problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a standard web page with <FORM TARGET=_blank METHOD=POST> as the form
type. Add a TEXT or HIDDEN value to post
2.Submit the form


Actual Results:  A new browser window is created and the target URL is shown but
the POSTED form data is lost.

Expected Results:  I would expect a new browser window to be spawned and the
target URL should receive the posted form data.

PHP example..

<?
if(!$TEETH)
{
    $TEETH="Hells";
}
?>
<FORM TARGET=_blank METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=TEETH VALUE='<? echo $TEETH ?>'>
</FORM>
