<form id="History" method="post" action="./php_lib/getHistoryProcess.php">
                        			<button name="clearTableButton" type="submit" value="table2">Table 2 Orders</button>     
                    			</form>

the code above will process through the getHistoryProcess.php and return the result in the same page (the white blank page). I would really like the result pop up like ***** href=" " target="blank" style*****
in other words, i want the result in a new window or tab in small size.

Is it possible to do something like that?

You need to edit it at HTML level. You can try:

<form id="History" method="post" action="./php_lib/getHistoryProcess.php" target="_blank">
    <button name="clearTableButton" type="submit" value="table2">Table 2 Orders</button>     
</form>

thanks myhfelix, I actually did that already. ideally i want it pop up in a smaller window like if i could set the size. i think javascript is able to do it.. but mixing js with php in the button tag i don't know.

Passing the path you want instead of sample.htm.

wow, haven't tried yet but looks like it will definitely work. thanks much for the solid code.
