Hi, I have a very basic question: In the web application that I am working on, there is a tmpl file in which users can click on hyperlinks in lists to view more details. The problem is-when they click on a hyperlink-the details display in the same window-and if they click Back to go back to the result list-they see the "Page has expired" message. I know about the JS window.open() function for displaying links in a new window-what I don't know is where and how to implement it in the way I have things coded (See code below): 
In Results.tmpl:
This is the hyperlink that they click to view more information:
<a href="javascript:createDispatch(<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME=myNo -->);" ><!-
+- TMPL_VAR NAME=myNo --></a> 

The hyperlink goes to this JS function:
function createDispatch(subNo)

{
    document.resultsForm.subNumber.value=subNo;
    document.resultsForm.submit();
    
}

The submit action above calls a CGI file to retrieve the required deta
+ils:
<form method="POST" name="resultsForm" action = "../cgi-bin/prepareDis
+patch.cgi">

The prepareDispatch.cgi file retrieves details and displays them in Di
+spatchForm.tmpl

My question is: How and where should I specify that DispatchForm.tmpl should display in a new window?
