Sorry for jumping in late here but the Mid-Tier uses several variables (depending on your style of url)
goto: http://server/arsys/shared/login.jsp?goto=/arsys/forms/server/FormName form: http://WebServer/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?server=ArsServer&form=For mName So something like the following may work String parmTest1 = (String)request.getParameter("goto"); String parmTest2 = (String)request.getParameter("form"); String parmTest3 = (String)request.getParameter("server"); if (parmTest1 == null) AND (parmTest2 == null) AND (parmTest3 == null) { document.forms["loginForm"].elements['goto'].value = "/arsys/home"; } Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of L.
