Ok, i admit my donkeyness. :-P It takes the same time to popup, close and refresh, than it does to redirect and refresh.Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm not sure why you consider it more user friendly to pop-up a window (and have it disappear automatically). If I was a user I would be thinking "what the hell was that?". And if their connection was fast enough that they don't even notice the window pop-up & disappear, and just see the main page refresh how different is that to the 'one page and use a "middle-man" technique'?
One thing that popup would prevent would be the browser history, i mean, if that popup method worked, if the user clicked on the "back" browser button, it would take him to where he came from. If i use that redirect method, the back button takes him to the redirect. Still trying to figure that one out. Would be nice to make the browser history "forget" that redirect. :-P
But you are right, Jason, time wise i was wrong in going for the popup, not to mention those other very relevant facts john mentioned too.
