Re^3: Open another IE browser window from CGI

It still a rather odd way of trying to do it. Is there some reason you don't want to just have the link tell the browser to open a new window?

I may be doing this a$$backwards, but simplified: The page has a radio button set and labels with a submit button. When the submit is clicked, the page is reloaded and the page checks to see which if any of the buttons was selected. Based on this selection, a number of processes start and then a web application is launched (the IE part of this question). So it's not a simple click on a hotlink. This may not be the best use of Perl/CGI, but the rest of the collection of pages that makes up this toolset does rely heavily on Perl and I want to be consistent. Do you believe in miracles? Yes!

I would look at using javascript to pop the window open then. Then you also remove the requirement that server and client be on the same machine. Even if thats a requirement for other reasons it might be usefull to have less peices depend on that fact in the future. ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
