Hi all,
This is the way my login proceeds.
1. Username password entered at login.html
2. Checked with access DB in login.pl and authenticated.
3. If successful then proceed to main.html

login.html -> login.pl ->main.html
The problem is after the login has been deemed successful, i want the script in login.pl to automatically bring up main.html without any user clicks or anything.
Any ideas on how to do this? Or please direct me to a resource where i can find this?
Here is the code where i need the above mentioned change.
if($checkpass eq $pass){
print "Login Successful"; #--> Instead of print, bring up main.html au
+tomatically. 
}

This will enable me to even add a loading bar like the one you have after you enter your credentials in gmail.
Thanks!
