Redirecting help

[Joseph Minton]

My employer uses Reportal, which will basically create a web version
of a Crystal report. Unfortunately, a user can not refer to a sub-
report from within a sub-report. However, from within the sub-report,
I can pass pass off the folllowing URL with parameters to in theory
fire off another Crystal Report in Reportal.

For example, "http://10.2.6.74/reports/NameDetails.aspx?
P1="&{PERSONS.NAME}

Unfortunately with Reportal, there is a requirement after aspx? to
place the report number within reportal. Thus, the above example
won't work since I can't call id=102 in this case

For example, "http://10.2.6.74/reports/NameDetails.aspx?
id=102&P1="&{PERSONS.NAME}

So, I'm wondering if I can set a target redirect ASP up that will pass
on the parameters and then redirect the page and have it add id=102 to
the correct location in the above example.

BTW, in just a regular ASP page, I could use this to pass the id=102.
I just can't figure out how to redirect it.

<form action="NameDetails.aspx?" method="GET" name="parmform">
<input type = "hidden" value = "102" name = "id">

The "?" is not needed here.

<input type = "hidden" value = "102" name = "id">

This is a clientside redirection,
effectively the same as:

<a href='NameDetails.aspx?id=102'>click</a>

====================================

ASP serverside redirection can only be immediate,
before any content-streaming has been done to the client.

<% 'vbs
response.redirect "NameDetails.aspx?id=102"
%>

or

<% 'js
Response.redirect('NameDetails.aspx?id=102');
%>

It seems you have a bad spell of aspx-itis,
purposely inflicted on you by MS,
having you believing that there is no difference
between serverside and clientside.
