form post to new window

I'm pretty new to this PHP/MySQL stuff & have a problem with something I'm trying to do.

Here we go...

I've got a drop-down selection box which I want to have multi selection capabilities. The problem is I want the "action" to post to another page, but in a new window. I messed around with javascript and was able to get a new window to open, but the data wasn't available. I was thinking the only way to do this was to save the info I want to pass in a file and then once the page opens in the new window, I read the file. Any suggestions??

thanks......

<form action="your_php_script.php" method="post" target="_blank">

and in the your_php_script.php page you extract the variables from :

$_POST["your_variable"]

Ohhh.. . Brother... Simple, simple and I couldn't see it. Thanks a bunch!! I was trying TOO hard & thinking the "target" had to somehow be inside the "action" to go along with the link like in html's "href"... yadda, yadda...

Thanks again!
