I'm glad to know that you think this is not difficult.
I'm new to this and I'm needing help to accomplish my task.
I am having difficulty with is how to refresh the current browser and then open a popup from the same for submit. That is, one submit does both actions.
You currently have the pop-up set as the target of your submission.
Well, this will be a tad tricky.
My hunch is that you could have the submission be for the same window and this will take care of the refresh. (Prob 3 solved) But now number 4 is a problem... I would then include some javascript so that a new window is opened when entering the new page OR the javascript could open the new window upon submission. The first might be better if the pop-up is to display info pertaining to the submission.
