No. Javascript is just (kind of) a part of HTML. You can not send ANY
output to the browser before sending headers, including the Location
header. You can't even send blank lines. Read up on Javascript's
window.location or window.href. Somethingl ike that.
Thanks a lot for the quick response. Let me read some javascript now
:) ...
What about popping up the window after the redirect? On the page that
loads after redirect add this to <body>:
<body onLoad="window.open('yourpopupurl.html');">
Or pass a querystring to test for popup:
<body <? if ($_REQUEST["qstring"]=="Y") { echo " window.open
('yourpopup.html'); "; } ?>>
