Displaying a message box and then redirecting

[debbiedchang]

Hi, I have a custom user login authentication page. There are times
when the login authentication succeeds, but before I redirect to the
home page, I want to display a popup with a warning message to tell the
user that their password is about to expire. I can't get the popup to
display AND the page to redirect (only one or the other).

I thought maybe setting the document.location would work, but it still
doesn't redirect to the specified page. This is my code right now:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("user name", false);

string strMsgBoxScript = "<script language='javascript'>alert("Warning
message"); document.location=xyz.aspx'</script>"

Page.RegisterStartupScript("MsgBoxScript", strMsgBoxScript);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried adding in a response.redirect("xyz.aspx") but that redirects
the page without displaying the popup.

This has been driving me crazy so I would be extremely grateful for any
insight!

This group covers classic ASP which is totally different to ASP.NET. Try
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

Why don't you use some client code in the popup to redirect the page.

windows.opener.document.location = url

Hey Slim are you sure this is the right code?
well if not try this:

<input type=button name=login value="Login"
onclick=javascript:TheFuncClick();>

<script language=javascript>
function TheFuncClick
{
alert("Dear user, Your password is about to expire!");
window.location.href="login.asp"
}
</script>


Hope this helps

<input type=button name='login' value='Login'
onclick='TheFuncClick();'>

The javascript: part is not necessary.

I believe he wants to display some html not just a alert, but if not your
idea would do just fine
