Open form in new tab on submit click

I have come across similar questions on here but none that directly refer to the one i am looking for. So i have a form div with target="_blank". When clicking an Input submit link i would like the form to open in a new tab.

I have some javascript code in the background that manipulates the form item based on buttons to give different options. When the submit button is clicked i would like the form values to be correctly passed with the form and to open in a new tab.

If i disable Javascript the form correctly opens in a new tab, so the Javascript is blocking the new tab. How can i get my form to open correctly whilst passing the option values with the form?

Some example code:

<form id="search" name="search" action="www.search.com" target="_blank" method="post">
...
<input type="submit" name="commit" value="Search" class="button">

Also why would Javascript be blocking the new tab popup?

¿Have you tried calling your JavaScript function like this?

<form id="search" name="search" action="www.search.com" target="_blank" method="post" onSubmit="return function();">

Edit: After this call, you can do your field settings on JS and if everything is alright, just return true for the form to be submitted, or false to cancel submission.
