Opening form submit result in a new tab in Eclipse-RCP intro page

I have developed an eclipse RCP product, in which the first intro page has a form (xhtml). On submitting the form, the result page appears in the same tab. I want the result page to be opened in a new tab. I tried using target="_new" and also target="_blank" in the form element tag.

<form name="application" action="http://example.com" method="post" target="_new">

But the result page is opened in a new internet explorer window and not within the eclipse RCP application. Please help me with a solution.

This is not possible. This widget is just an embedded Internet Explorer there is no interaction with any other controls.

A possible workaround would be to collect your formdata via javascript, create a new eclipse command with a parameter (where you store your collected formdata as String), which is executed when you submit the form (see the documentation how to call commands from the welcome-screen) which opens a new Browser Window in Eclipse and navigates to the action-page with the formdata as query (which would be the same as a form with GET method)
