Subject: [thelist] Redirect AFTER Page loaded with ASP


: I'm looking for cleaver ways to redirect a user AFTER stuff has been 
written
: to a page in ASP.
:
: Typically you can't by way of response.redirect("somepage.asp"). If you do
: this after you write stuff to the page, you get an error.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't because when you use Response.Redirect you are changing the HTTP 
Status to 302 Object Moved, which isn't possible if you're already written 
content:
www.adopenstatic.com/faq/headerError.asp

Options:
a) meta refresh tag
b) client side javascript

Do a check on the Microsoft site to see what changes have been made in XP 
SP2 - there are restrictions now on what you can redirect to. IIRC 
redirecting to anywhere on the same site still works.
