  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

  • If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpm changeset and following the prompts. Changesets that add features should be minor and those that fix bugs should be patch. Please prefix changeset messages with feat:, fix:, or chore:.

Edits

  • Please ensure that 'Allow edits from maintainers' is checked. PRs without this option may be closed.

Problem

Remote forms with target="_blank" did not open the redirect destination in a new tab. Instead, the current tab would navigate to the redirect URL, making target="_blank" completely ignored for both internal and external redirects.

Solution

Check the form element's target attribute before deciding how to navigate. If it's _blank or _new, use window.open() instead of _goto()

I have ran all the tests and there were no issues.
