Re: How to redirect after the download starts

Hi William,

Did you mean to say that the window never appears up on your client. On my
side it apears and be there untill the user made their choice (open, save,
cancel) about the download. Once they made the choice the window gets closed
automatically.

What i am looking for is there any way so that the window never appears. Is
this possible from your last answere it seems that you are not getting the
window at all and there is not other thing on that page except the download
code.

Please share your thoughts on this. And till now what ever you are
suggesting is taking me into the right direction so thanks for it!

Thanks
Hitesh
