But I have two submit buttons. I only want a new window when button A
is pressed. Isn't onsubmit a <form> attribute?

onSubmit
The user has pressed the submit button of a form. This
event happens just before the form is submitted, and
your function can return a value of false in order to
abort the submission. Valid for:

+ Forms only.

Oh wait. I get it. I can write a little javascript code to see which
button was pressed, right? I'll see if I can't do that.

But from my perspective, the less javascript the better. I like using
perl more than javascript. Not sure why. Maybe it's because I prefer
server-side scripting.
