Form submition

[carlosAlberto]

Hi,

I would like to change the location of the browser window after submitting the data to a cgi script.

Is it possible to use the following, only it doesn't seem to work.....

<form method=post action=&quot;/cgi-bin/formdata.cgi?

http://my

domain.com&quot;>


Thanks,

Can you not use the cgi script to output data back to the browser. You could even get it to write JavaScript Code that will automatically redirect the page to the one you want. Mise Le Meas,

Hi Mighty,

Do you mean If i wrote a blank screen then got it to automatically re-direct when loaded???

Yeah that sounds OK (not sure how to do it though)

It would also need to pass values but i don't think that should cause a problem.

All you have to do is have your cgi program print a redirect command to the browser. In perl the syntax is:

print "Location: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somewhere.com\n\n";[/URL]

That's an HTTP command, no html, no javascript, no sweat.
