Martin,

Your advice seemed to work pretty well with one exception. Since the originating document of the survey referred to an .idc file for a SQL query, I needed to pass the field values to the second page.

When I setup the location href, I used the target idc, like this:

location.href='survey.idc?field_name=<%idc.fieldname%>...'

This had the interesting effect of looping the query about 400 times (until I stopped it), and dumping each loop into the SQL server. :)

I"ll have to find another way to do this apparently. But I appreciate your incredibly prompt response.

Thanks again!

: Try using the locations replace method. Instead of:

: location.href = 'nextpage.html';

: use:

: location.replace ('nextpage.html');

: To ensure it works correctly on browsers that don't support the replace () method, code it as:

: if (document.images)
: location.replace ('nextpage.html');
: else
: location.href = 'nextpage.html';


Follow-ups:
