location tag in response

[jenniferG]

we hava a  login page that  sends form variables to a php page that  sends the response.text back to  the original  page to a text field with ID='password' so that  if the field data is not correct, it says INVALID in the  password  text field. so far,so good.  If the data is correct,  the php  code executes a header('location: URL')  command, but the target page ,is displayed as text in the text box, instead of  control being vectored to the target page.

 

Thanks,

just have the php page send a flag back through ajax for succesful logon and then test the return value before innerHTML'ing the value.  If it is the flag you are looking for then you can execute a window.location = "??" from javascript to change the page.
