How to Make a form not open a new window when it submits a url action?
I have a form that submits a url action. However I don't want it to open up a new window with the url when it is submitted. How should I avoid this?
<form name="leds" id="ledSend" method="get" target="_blank" action="https://agent.electricimp.com/Fk43xPMkSrWF">
Lamp Control: <input type="radio" name="led" value="0" checked>Off
<input type="radio" name="led" value="1">On<br>
How long should the Lights stay on? <input type="text" name="timer" value="10">seconds<br>
Your name? For Our Records <input id="name" type="text" name="user" placeholder="Your name here"> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Update!" onclick="alert(theInput.value)"/>
<script>
var theInput = document.getElementById("name");
I don't want this form to change windows to
https://agent.electricinp.com
When it is submitted. How would I avoid this so that the user stays on the original page where they submit the form form.

Recently I got this scenario and researched a lot to find the hack/solution.
Solution - If you can put a window names and refer same every time, then browser will make sure to open new tab if not opened already, otherwise it will just refresh the window.
Example snippet: Demo JSfiddle here
<form id="myForm" action="<URL>" method="POST" target="_blank" onsubmit="target_popup(this)">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"/><br/>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"/><br/>
<button type="submit" id="btnTest"> Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
var target_popup = function(form) {
window.open('',//URL should be blank so that it will take form attributes.
'UniqueWindowName', //window name
'width=400,height=400,resizeable,scrollbars');
form.target = 'UniqueWindowName';
}
</script>
