This group never seems to fail me so after cooking with this for about a week, the time has come to ask (like asking for directions when on a trip).
Many of us run web sites back ended with perl programs. As with many, ours generates pages dynamically with variable page output.
I have a situation that I have tried about every trick I know of and can find in my various sources but none of them seem to work as expected. Most likely someone of you are already doing just this thing.
Here is the scenario:
User requests access to a site and the resident cgi delivers a page with a login panel which itself uses a form handled by another perl cgi. This 2nd cgi processes the login page and does EITHER of two things...
If accepted - it needs to open a new browser window to contain the output from a called perl module.
If failed - it needs to reissue the incoming page with an error message set.
I'm currently using some javascript commands embedded with image buttons to control this but my problem is how to get the new window opened PRIOR to calling the module to generate the page content.
Any ideas, pointers, suggested will be GREATLY appreciated by an avid perl guy!
Thanks in advance.
