Xml report in new window

Question

hi all,
actually we are generating xml document for a report and showing the content on the browser with 'response' object . we need to show that in a new window,.
we restricted the browser buttons for security reasons , so because it was opening in the same window we cannot go back to our application . the alternative i got is that changing the xml file type association to any other editor instead of Internet browser but this is not a solution
please help me
thanks in advance

hi all,
my problem was solved, once again many thanks to jean Francois.
Try this:
function newWindow() {
window.open("", "exportWindow");
EmployeeInfoForm.action = EmployeeInfoForm.action +
"?command=export";
EmployeeInfoForm.target = "exportWindow";
EmployeeInfoForm.submit();
Regards,

i made a small change to EmployeeInfoForm.action not to append "?command=export" every time when this script calls
var act= EmployeeInfoForm.action;
EmployeeInfoForm.action = EmployeeInfoForm.action +
"?command=Export";
EmployeeInfoForm.action=act;
Apart from this solution meanwhile i tried out one alternative,
when user chooses xml
docName=someName
docType=xml
if(docType.equalsIgnoreCase("xml"))
               response.setContentType("text/plain");
               //docName= URLEncoder.encode("\""+"a"+".xml" + "\"");
          docName= "\""+docName+".xml" + "\"";
               System.out.println(docName);
               docType="txt";
          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + docName + "." + docType);
ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
               sos.write(dataBytes);
sos.close();
just i made the filename as someName as "someName.xml.txt" with qoutes.
so that with extension .txt makes to open in notepad rather than to browser , thus avoiding my problem of opening the content of same browser window, this worked fine, but when saving this document i expected the file name as "someName.xml" with qoutes so that the file will save with .xml but i see someName.xml withoutqoutes. when i save this, the file was saved as someName.xml .txt.
but when user types his own file name xyz than the file was saved xyz.xml
can any suggest me how can i save the file name with qoutes.
and can anyone explain me whats happening when i do like this
