akitchin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 often times you'll want to send them to an interstitial page along with the URL they're SUPPOSED to go to, do the processing on that page, and then forward them onto their original destination. javascript, unless you use AJAX, will be unhelpful since it is client-side and cannot initiate server-side work.
