asp redirection

[yorks]

Hi all

I have an ASP page which checks a user login. If the login is valid then it sets up all the necessay variables and uses a response.redirect command to then continue to the main site.

All I want to do is automatically open another ASP program in a new window before the the redirection takes place in the original window.

Any ideas ?

You will need to use javascript in order to open a new window. you can pass your query if any to your javascript. Since asp is processed on the server, you have to use client scripting to access or open a new window.

Hi

Thnaks for the reply. I have tried using Javascript to open a window but it doesnt seem to work. Not sure what you mean by 'client scripting'

Thanks in advance

client scripting = client side scripting
sorry for the miscommunication.

javascript = client side scripting

I recommend building an interim page after a successfull login showing text like:

logging in......

You could do a meta refresh on that page to send the user to the main page.

While this logging page is open, you can then do an onLoad() function in javascript to open the new window.

The new window will open and the main window will then go to the proper page.

hope that makes sense.
