problem using: print "Location: "

[bpgillett]

hi. i use:

$master_firm1_pgy1 = "

http://www.domain.com"

if ($FORM{'firm'} eq "firm 1" and $FORM{'pgy'} eq "pgy 1&quot {print "Location: $master_firm1_pgy1\n\n";}

to direct a user to a certain html page in a frame. rather than loading the page, i just get the printed words of the web adress displayed (i.e. "Location:

http://www.address.com").

does anyone have any suggestions.
thanks,
brian

Make sure that you haven't sent a content-type header before you send the location header. The location header must absolutely be the FIRST output you send to the browser, or it won't work.
