    print "Location... in firefox not working

    With the newest updata to firefox, some of my CGI scripts to redirect users to another html page is no longer working. At the end of the script, i have the following:

    print "Location: http://myURL\n\n";

    It worked in firefox until recently, and it still works in IE.

    any suggestions?

    Re: print "Location... in firefox not working

    Hey,
    I have never used that method of page re-directing, so not sure why it doesn't work in Firefox...
    Here are a couple of alternative methods...
    1) Use HTML::Template module
    Code:
    use HTML::Template;
my ($template);
$template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "myURL.htm");
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;
    2) Print HTML, and use standard HTML or javascript re-direct methods.
    i.e. using html meta refresh
    Code:
     
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"HTML code";
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Page Re-Direct</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=myURL.htm">
</HEAD><BODY>
<p>Text here etc.
</BODY></HTML>
HTML code
    Chris
