the only way to achieve that is by opening a window with javascript..... web2py.js ships with a $.web2py.popup(theurltoopen) just for the occasion, but it's easy to do just window.open(url, 'name of the window'). The thing is: do you really need an intermediate page just to count download clicks ? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
