Hi Maurice -
I've been doing both. I use redirects a LOT in some of my applications
and have had no problems so far.
The exception is that IE 5 sometimes alerts with a "redirection error"
but this only occurs if I hit "refresh" - actually posting with the form
has yeilded no problems.
I'm using POST, not GET, on these redirects as well.
I just thought I'd post my observations to the list; apparently they
weren't of much help to Chaz, which is OK, but I don't have any more to
add.
Anyway, good luck to everybody that is experiencing this problem -
