response.redirect question

2 questions:
what do I do if I want to redirect in, lets say 5 seconds? (I want to redirect when a button is pressed)

umm also what does the second argument -endResponse- means: response.redirect (url as string, endResponse as boolean)

VS.net tooltip says that it "indicates whether the excecution of the current page should terminate."

but what kind of difference does that make? I dont understand.:D If you're redirecting to another page, doesnt that mean that the current page will be "terminated" anyways?:confused:

no... endresponse will end the pages execution on that line (if set to true) otherwise execution will continue to the end of the page then redirect

correct me if im wrong anyone :)

In regards to the first query, I would probably just call the setTimeout method in JavaScript. If anyone knows a better way using .Net I'd like to know as well :)

yea the redirection after a timeperiod, I'm 99% sure, would have to be done client side

something like this... (untested :))

Code:

<HEAD> <SCRIPT> function forward() { //Redirect to new page self.location = "http://www.targetpage.co.uk/"; } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <SCRIPT> setTimeout("forward()",2000); //Wait for 2000 milliseconds </SCRIPT> </BODY>

yea does same job, just yours is simpler :D

All the time you'll see "you are being redirected to diff url, if browser doesnt redirect you click here..." etc

does that mean some browsers dont support this? if so, anyone wanna list them?

hmm probably... saying that, something wierd happened with this, I dont know what I did but no matter how many times I refreshed the page, it wouldnt redirect. I had to close the page and open a new page before it worked fine. I guess it could be because of asp.net stuff

umm probably old borwsers dont support it... dunno maybe you'll get teh same thing if you've disabled scripting languages in your browser;)
