Hello Jay,
It almost worked. The page is actually loaded as the result of a CGI
script that uses a "Location:" header to cause a redirect.
Here's how it works:
1) user opens "/cgi-bin/script"
2) /cgi-bin/script responds with:
Location: /page.shtml?foo=1234&bar=1234
3) /page.shtml runs the javascript code, but the problem is the
variable this.location = "/cgi-bin/script" (not
"/page.shtml?foo=1234&bar=1234")
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
