How to log in without a popup problem?

[leifoet]

To be able to log in to a website, the popup protection for the site-URL must be turned off.

How can I change the code below so that the popup protection in the user's browser has no interest (so it can be on or off)?
Thanks for tips.

<%
IF Session("UID")&"" = "" then ' the session is empty
response.redirect("url_exit.htm")
ELSE
url = "succespage.htm"
response.write("<script>" & vbCrLf)
response.write("window.open('" & url & "');" & vbCrLf)
response.write("</script>")
END IF

would recommend not using a pop up at all, you can grab the page they asked for and pass it into the login page so you can redirect once they have logged in. You could use a modal dialog if you really had to.

Thanks ggriffit - That is exactly what I have in mind: no popups (anymore).
But how should my code above be changed / adjusted? - I am not so skilled with that yet.

to do the redirect to a login page,you will need to change the ELSE part to be a redirect to your new login page.

for a modal dialog you can find plenty of examples in google.
