Hyperlinks (target="_blank") and buttons on same page problem.

Question

Another interesting problem.
I have a hyperlink that is set to open in a new window (target='_blank') and execute the 'hyperlink1_action' on the server.
The framework executes the javascript function 'hyperlink_submit' (in the formElements.js library) when a hyperlink is clicked. This function sets the 'target' property on the form and also creates a hidden field that identifies the hyperlink that was clicked.
This works fine and a new window open up with the required data.
However, now if I click a BUTTON on the ORIGINAL page, a NEW WINDOW pops up and the WRONG DATA is displayed due to the form target setting and hidden field that were created by the 'hyperlink_submit' function called prevously - ie. the changes to the form made by the 'hyperlink_submit' function are NOT rolledback/overwritten when the button is clicked. How annoying!!!
Am I doing something completely wrong or what?
Anyway, I feel better now. Have a nice day!

OK. In the absence of any replies, I've come up with this superhack that I put at the end of the page which fixes the form...
<f:verbatim>
<script>
var f = document.getElementById('form1');
f.oldsubmit = f.submit;
f.submit=function() { setTimeout(function(){resetForm(f);},250);return f.oldsubmit(); }
function resetForm(f)
f.target='';
for( var i=f.childNodes.length-1; i >=0; i-- ){
var n = f.childNodes;
if (n && n.name)
if (n.name.indexOf('_submittedField')>-1)
f.removeChild(n);
</script>
</f:verbatim>

Guillaume,
The built-in tabular form feature only supports one tabular form on each page. You'll have to put the two forms on separate pages. Or use simple reports as the detail reports with edit links to an edit form page.
