Start script and send client elsewhere.

Esoteric · Nov 25, 2002

I want to start a script and redirect the client to another page while the server executes.

Example: Create a file and emails it to the client, don't want client to have to wait for the server to complete before the pages gets refreshed. This way the client can do other things while the server takes all the time it needs to execute said script.

I think that the best way to do that is to have the new page call up a pop-under window that executes the code....

newPage.asp

<script>
function process(){
window.open("process.asp","newWin","height=10,width=10&quot

self.focus()
}
</script>
<body onLoad="process()">

your page goes here

process.asp

<%
'execute your code here
%>
<script>
self.close()
</script> -- Just trying to help...
