Howdy Monks. I have a script running on Apache that uses mod CGI to generate some static content files, then redirects the browser to an index page for them. It works fine.

Embedded on index this page I have a form with a set of checkboxes for dismissing some alerts set up in the system. When this form is submitted it calls a different script, also using mod CGI, that updates the database to reflect the dismissed items. That works great too.

The problem is that when I invoke the redirect method in this second script the browser doesn't reload the page to reflect the now-dismissed items. If I close and reopen the browser to force a reload, the updated list shows like it should.

So my question is: How can I get mod CGI to force the browser to reload the page?

TIA...Steve
