I’m trying to get a Suitelet to POST to another Suitelet, but POST into a new tab/window not the same one.  Is this possible?  It needs to POST data from the first Suitelet’s form.

Could you perhaps create a custom button on the suitelet that you bind to a client function that makes the http-call with the values from the form?

I don’t know how to get and pass on the data though

change its formaction to your second suitelet

oh I thought you meant it was a netsuite thing

I’m still not sure how I would make anything open in a different window

probably want to go though that button page in its entirety

so when you say “make your own button” you mean make one in HTML.

theoretically you can modify an existing button, but you might as well make a new button if you arent making it behave like native buttons

you can probably modify the html form, but thats more intrusive than the button

So make a button that will submit the form, but have the button change the formaction and formtarget so that the form submits to a new window with the specified URL.

you choose your own action and target for your button

kinda concerned about all the change stuff unless you plan on modifying an existing button with code

I have a module already for making buttons that look like NS buttons

if needed at least there’s only one place I’ll have to update/make changes

suitelet I’m submitting to isn’t receiving any data.  I’m going to have to do this a different way.

whats the html for your button look like?

```&lt;input type="submit" id="test_button" name="test_button" class="rndbuttoninpt bntBgT" value="Test XML" formaction="/path/to/my/suitelet" formtarget="_blank" onmousedown="this.setAttribute('_mousedown','T'); setButtonDown(true, false, this);" onmouseup="this.setAttribute('_mousedown','F'); setButtonDown(false, false, this);" onmouseout="if(this.getAttribute('_mousedown')=='T') setButtonDown(false, false, this);" onmouseover="if(this.getAttribute('_mousedown')=='T') setButtonDown(true, false, this);" _mousedown="F"&gt;```

[aside: I hate how NetSuite assumes I’d only want to click this button once….the whole point is that I want to be able to click it again and again opening new tabs]

I think there is some flaw in my logic for checking the submitted data

as I tried just submitting as normal and there’s still nothing in `context.request.parameters`

all right, the above part is working EXCEPT for the fact that I get “You have already submitted this form.” everytime thereafter
