refresh problem!

[champoi]

the script is javascript, but i run it using php, so php might have something to do with it, i already posted this in the javascript section of this forums but as of now, no one has replied to it, i think there are more people that are willing to help in the php section, anyways, this is my problem

 

i'm doing a download page that has a link that does the following:

1. open a pop-up (well, not really a pop-up, but blank window) that has the download script, download.php, and will see if the download is valid by checking the values added in the url, like a GET (?download=sherashera),

2. has a title set to "download"

3. the link is an image; and

4. refresh the parent page after 4 seconds using javascript, cause a download counter is placed on the parent page to tell the user that he already downloaded a certain amount of downloads,

 

here's the code of the link:

 

<a href=\"download.php?i=".$row."&u=".$_SESSION['u']."&p=".$_SESSION['p']."&m=sapli\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"setTimeout('window.location.reload( false );', 4000)\"><img src=\"img/ics/i_d.jpg\" title=\"Download\"></a>

 

when i click the link, the blank window appears and the download works, but after it refreshes, alot of text appears and i dont know how on earth my page got those texts, and the php script on the parent page does not work, anyone have any suggestions or comments? better if it's a solution though,

What's the text that you're getting? Is it code or English?

it's a mix, at the top part, some english with mixed \par or something like those, then the html codes, then near the bottom part, some alien characters are there, i think the browser misunderstands the page, instead of executing the page, it reads it, something like that i suppose,
