display popup alert before redirect

[xcaliber2222]

Hello,

I am trying to display a popup alert before the redirect. The page redirects but I can't get the popup to display, but if I do a Response.End instead of Response.Redirect after the alert it displays.

if trim(session("TEST 123") = "Y") and (DB_RsCmd("PRIMARY_VENDOR") = "ABCD") then
Response.Write("<script>alert(TEST 123 dealers can only enter TEST 123 data. Please contact your administrator.');</script>")
response.redirect("TEST 123_restart.asp")
end if

If someone could show me what I'm doing wrong I'd sure appreciate it.

Thank you,
Alejandro

How about just do a client-side redirect?
[tt]
if trim(session("TEST 123") = "Y") and (DB_RsCmd("PRIMARY_VENDOR") = "ABCD") then
Response.Write "<script>" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "alert('TEST 123 dealers can only enter TEST 123 data. Please contact your administrator.');" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "window.location='TEST 123_restart.asp';" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "</script>"
end if
[/tt]

I am trying to display a popup alert before the redirect. The page redirects but I can't get the popup to display

I tried to do that years ago and finally decided it couldn't be done, but if I HAD to have it done then somehow it would have to happen with code on the new page...
