After you validate the form, write the error messages out to a file. Then in the response sent back to the client, send a small JavaScript to do a window.open() which will load those error messages, probably via another CGI script to read the file you created from the first request. Sounds like a lot of work to me. Why do you want to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
