[thelist] Redirect AFTER Page loaded with ASP

[Ken Schaefer]

: Why not use Server.Transfer or Server.Execute?

because it won't work? (well, you could get it to work, but it's relatively 
complex and not very efficient).

Cheers
Ken

: Why not use Server.Transfer or Server.Execute? Given your process below, 
you
: could load the upload page and display your animated graphic. Once the 
file
: has been uploaded or failed, you then call the Transfer or Execute methods
: to run a page which hides the display graphic (using an inline stylesheet)
: and displays the appropiate completion message. Seems preferable to the 
meta
: tag or javascript methods suggested so far, IMHO.
