Form submission is not responding in Firefox version 55 and above
I have a form which will be submitted either in same window or in new tab based on radio button selection. There are two radio input buttons (radioA and radioB) and a button element (submitButton) which will handle form submission using javascript. By default, form will have target value as _self.
- If radioA is selected by user and on click of submitButton, target value will be changed to "_self" (only if it is _blank) and form will be submitted using javascript (document.formName.submit();).
- If radioB is selected by user and on click of submitButton, target value will be changed to "_blank" (document.formName.target="_blank") and form will be submitted using javascript (document.formName.submit();).
The above functionality is working fine in all browsers except Firefox version 55 and above. I noticed that latest versions of Firefox is not responding when target value is changed. To confirm this i skipped the logic to modify target value and noticed the functionality working even in latest Firefox versions.
Could you please let me know if this is a known issue or when this will be resolved. And let me know if more details required.
Thanks, Nanda

Do you notice any errors in the Browser Console when you toggle the radio buttons or click Submit? See:

Does the target attribute get added as expected?
You could try using an onsubmit handler on the form element for this.
<form action="path/to/script" name="f1" onsubmit="targetf1">
function targetf1(){
if (radioB.checked) {
document.f1.target = '_blank';
} else {
document.f1.target = '_self';
}
return true;
}
That was "air code" I haven't actually tested.
