A redirect is a message to the browser telling it to make a new request for a different URL. Since the browser is sending a new request, any data you put into the old request goes away. If you need to have data available between browser requests, store it in the session, instead. - George http://www.idiacomputing.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
