Alert Before Redirect

[byrne1]

Is there a way to display a java alert before redirecting to another page? I have code that should display an alert and then redirect the user to another page, but the redirect function fires before the alert pops up (if I have the redirect function commented out then the alert shows up just fine but of course the page stays put).

Any ideas?

Dim scriptString As String
scriptString = &quot;<script language=JavaScript> &quot; + Environment.NewLine
scriptString += &quot;alert('Transactions were successfully created!');&quot; + Environment.NewLine
scriptString += &quot;<&quot;
scriptString += &quot;/&quot;
scriptString += &quot;script>&quot;
If Not IsStartupScriptRegistered(&quot;Startup&quot Then
RegisterStartupScript(&quot;Startup&quot;, scriptString)
End If
Response.Write(scriptString)
Response.Redirect(&quot;main.aspx&quot

Hey Byrne1,

An ASP redirect will fire first because it is done server side rather than client side.. If you want this to be done properly, you will have to do the redirect with Javascript:

ie:

Dim scriptString As String
scriptString = &quot;<script language=JavaScript> &quot; + Environment.NewLine
scriptString += &quot;alert('Transactions were successfully created!');&quot; + Environment.NewLine
scriptString += &quot;self.location.href = 'main.aspx';&quot;
scriptString += &quot;<&quot;
scriptString += &quot;/&quot;
scriptString += &quot;script>&quot;
If Not IsStartupScriptRegistered(&quot;Startup&quot Then
RegisterStartupScript(&quot;Startup&quot;, scriptString)
End If
Response.Write(scriptString)


Hope this helped,

Cheers....
