form submit to _blank

So I have a landing page that's a rather simple form that i am embedding into an iframe within a wordpress post. it looks good.

When you hit 'submit' it triggers an automatic link to a pdf, which unfortunately opens up in the iframe. that doesn't look good. 

Any advice I've tried to find on this has broken links or no info on the jquery code necessary. Any help is appreciated!

I figured it out, sort of. The key is to put this into the html window:

<base target="_blank" />


And then , boom, it's working in chrome at least. Not working reliably in IE...

Awesome. I am happy you were able to get it to work!

For IE, try:
<base target="_self"/>

If you don't want to code... you owe it to yourself to look at the WP Plug-in for Marketo from Gravity Forms.  
http://wordpress.org/plugins/marketo/

Very flexible for making your forms integrate into your WP Themes -- and I have found that they reliably trigger Marketo Smart Campaigns.

    Hey Murtza,

    the self tag works in no browsers at all, while blank works in all of the good ones and not IE.

     

    Gary, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go down that path. I'd rather pay a little something for a plugin that works reliably than spending countless hours guessing and trying to fix what marketo hasn't bothered to and apparently won't bother to.

    ooooh shiny.
