<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/133925">JavaScript post request like a form submit</a> shows you how to submit a form that you create via POST in JavaScript. Below is my modified code.</p>

<pre><code>var form = document.createElement("form");

form.setAttribute("method", "post");
form.setAttribute("action", "test.jsp");

var hiddenField = document.createElement("input");  

hiddenField.setAttribute("name", "id");
hiddenField.setAttribute("value", "bob");
form.appendChild(hiddenField);
document.body.appendChild(form); // Not entirely sure if this is necessary          
form.submit();
</code></pre>

<p>What I would like to do is open the results in a new window. I am currently using something like this to open a page in a new window:</p>

<pre><code>onclick = window.open(test.html, '', 'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');
</code></pre>

Add
```
```
<form target="_blank" ...></form>
```
```
or
```
```
form.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
```
```
to your form's definition.
