How to prevent new window/tab opening after form post

forms, html, post

Solution

Remove `target` attribute and it should be fine.

`target="_blank"` actually means it should open in a new tab/window.

Documentation (please always read the docs first)

Problem

I have a form submission like: ``` <form target="_blank" id="discussionForm" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<%=discussionURL%>"> ``` Then I have a Submit button at the end. This works, and it posts to my db, but it opens a new tab with the url of the service that I'm using to post to the db. I don't want that new tab to open. I tried playing around with different targets, but I thought _blank would work. Any suggestions?
