Hi,

I am not sure I am clear on what you mean. If you send a request to the
server to store some stuff in a database, then I would say "redirect" to a
page that says successful. Otherwise, the way I would do it if the server
returned with the same page that submitted the form in the first place, I
would do something like:

<%
  if( result > 0 )
  {
%>
  <script language="javascript">
    win = window.open(...);
  </script>
<%
  }
%>

By this I mean, if the server was submitted a form from this page, it would
somehow have to set a "flag" to indicate that it was successful or not. In
your JSP page, which is on the server, it would "check" for this flag..in my
example I use the result variable. Now, upon returning with this page, if
the result was > 0 in this case, it would include in the returned page an
"inline" javascript routine that would open up a window. You could also use
alert("Successful") or whatever else you want. My personal preference is to
forward to a GOOD page, instead of the same page with an alert.

Hope that helps.
