url - The URL from which to obtain the document.
window - An optional parameter specifying the window or HTML frame that the document should load into. You can enter the name of a specific window or choose from the following reserved target names:
_self specifies the current frame in the current window.
_blank specifies a new window.
_parent specifies the parent of the current frame.
_top specifies the top-level frame in the current window.
variableMethod - A GET or POST method for sending variables. If there are no variables, omit this parameter.
