Hi, I need some help with this poll on my page -->http://aneesah.pixelled.com

The poll is actually in an iframe, so when the Vote button is clicked, the results open up in that same frame. I've added target="_blank" on that button, but I suppose it doesn't work like that.

The poll itself is a remotely hosted thing, and there's no options to open in new window there.

Anybody has an answer?

hot dang, i did it! alright, in the code of the poll, where it says

<input type=submit name=button value="Vote" target="_blank" style="border:1px dashed #E4A27A; font-family:Verdana, Arial; color:#8CABD4; background-color: #FFFFF2; font-weight: bold">

take out that target="_blank", it wont do anything there.

Change the code to this

<form method="get" action="poll.html target="_blank"><input type=submit name=button value="Vote" style="border:1px dashed #E4A27A; font-family:Verdana, Arial; color:#8CABD4; background-color: #FFFFF2; font-weight: bold"></form>

im pretty sure it will work. target only works in that <form> part

Hmmm, it still didn't work. I decided to not make it open in a new window, but that big frame, named "frame". But it still didn't work...

Any other ideas? :(

No actually, it totally destroyed the whole poll! I tried it out in Dreamweaver and yeah, the whole table didn't appear. It's probably those </form> thingies...

Sigh.

Edit
I figured it out!!! Yeah!

I put the "target=" the<form> tag already in there, at the top! And it worrrkkked!

Thanks SO much!

*hugs*
