[thelist] sending pop-up to client within asp

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

   Wait, never mind; I just noticed the response.end there.  Once you call that, the page stops loading and nothing else will process at all!  If you really want to use Response.End, put it *after* the code that renders the redirect.

Cheers,

I check the password using ASP.

If the password will expire in 15 days or less I just want to notify the 
user with a pop-up and then move on to the rest of the asp code
which validates other info and then directs them to the correct application.

If their password expires in 0 days, I want to direct them back to the 
login page.

The problem is that I am mixing asp and javascript.

Thanks for the help....
