I'm going around in circles. I'd rather NOT do this in java but in something that is used by all browsers. I just want to display a list of radio buttons. When they click on a button (or click a SUBMIT button but it would be easier on them if it opens the new page when they just click the button), it opens a new window (target="_blank" ?)with the new page. I was trying to do it with FORM but I don't know... stuck.<br />
<br />
It doesn't have to open a new window but maybe that's best. Doens't really matter.<br />
<br />
I'd rather just use something in HTML if possible.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
EDIT: Until someone tells me
I figured I could do it by using an image rather than a real radio button. I created this page -- <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukewill.com/testform.html">http://www.dukewill.com/testform.html</a><!-- m --> (test page) and the images are smiley faces. I could not find a .gif image of a radio button but surely I can, eventually.<br />
<br />
If anyone knows a better way, help.<br />
<br />
The code I used for my work-around...<br />

When I click on the smiley face, it DOES take me to the URL. I'm getting an error saying "page does not exist." Have no clue why that is happening but I guess it has nothing to do with my HTML... something on my forum I guess.<!--content-->You could do this:<br />
<br />
<form name="w3c" action="http://www.w3.org/" method="post"><br />
<input name="gotow3c" type="submit" value="Go to W3C"><br />

but unfortunately, opening in a new window would only be a distant dream with this method.<!--content-->Uh, I'm trying to use radio buttons. What you did will work and the method I am using above will work... if I could find a radio button .gif file, it would look like radio buttons. But if I can use "real" radio buttons... when they click a radio button, it opens a new URL, that's what I'm trying to do... NOT use a SUBMIT button.<br />
