Jump to new link w/o user clicking?

I want to write a simple page that lets a user select a date (that's another story), it then builds a URL using that, e.g. www.xyzzy.com/mmddyy.htm
And then immediately opens a new browser window for that URL.

How can I open a new browser link using HTML or VBScript?

Sounds simple, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks, DaveBo

there will have to be some action where they can submit the date and then build the querystring....then all you need to do is use response.redirect().

I'm in over my head here, but, isn't Response.Redirect a "server side" thing?

I'd like to do this right on the local PC.

Thanks, DaveBo

then you would probably use the javascript window.open method.

Here's some help with it.

it would work something like this.
1. user enters date and clicks submit button
2. date is verified (if wrong show alert box) else build querystring
3. call JS window.open function and display the page.
