post form data and open an invisible window

[Matt]

Is it possible to post form data and open an invisible window?

For example, in page1.as

<form action="page2.asp" method="POST"

It will post the form data from page1.asp to the server, and open page2.asp. But I dont want to make page2.asp invisible. Any ideas?? Is it possible?

Please advise. Thanks!!

You could post to a hidden iFrame not all browsers support iFrames though.
Or, you can just make Page2's response look just like page1's, and the user
won't know the difference.

Use a frameset with a 1 pixel wide frame for the response

<frameset cols="*,1" frameborder="NO">
<frame src="page1.asp" name="main" scrolling="auto">
<frame src="blank.html" name="results" scrolling="NO" noresize>
</frameset>
In page1.asp:
<form action="page2.asp" target="results" method="POST">

Although certain versions of IE (notably 5.5) GPF with 1px wide frames.
Been there, hated that.

You could always have the processing stuff in the same page............?

<%
strTemp = request.querystring("tmp")
if strTemp = "" then
%>

Show your form here

<%
else
'// Your processing stuff

'// re-dir back to the actual page, so the user doesn't see anything
response.redirect "page2.asp"
response.end
end if
%>

then make it 2 pixels :)

I have never seen the GP problem and have been using the 1pixel "hidden"
frame window approach for this kind of thing since IE4. Perhaps it makes a
difference if a 1pixel row is used instead of the column or the relative
position of the "hidden" frame (ours is typically last in the frameset
definition).
