Hello;
I have a login panel that is opened as a javascript window.
In the processing script, a successful login uses the
header function to send the user to the restricted content
index page.
But this page is loading into the javascript window instead
of the opener window of the browser. Is it possible to supply
a target property to the header() function to display
content in a specific window? Or is that strictly an html/javascript
issue? I have looked into the header() function but it is unclear
to me what all can be done with headers.
Thanks in advance for suggestions, info;
Jeff K

this would be an html / js issue...

why have a popup login in this case? just show the logon in the main windowand then do the redirect...

Try adding "target="_top"" or "target="_parent"" to the form element in HTML.

Thank you, the idea of a target property in the form opening tag is
new to me, but it is worth a try.
However, I redid the script to process itself instead of doing a header
redirect. Then once the
login form reloads, there is a link that has javascript do the redirect
as document.referrer.window.location = (target file);
(for anyone who could use a little useful info on javascript). That is
one of the things I love about php. The login
script can write javascript that is not present in the pre form
submission version. So someone trying by trial and
error to log in cannot look at the javascript and figure anything out
from it. Someone who can log in could see
it in the added script, but there's no point because it is visible in
the location field of the browser, then. I have
other tricks to screen access. But no one is going to get the keys to
Fort Knox on this site either. It is effectively
the same type of security that a forum would use, and the same type of
content value.
Thank you for the suggestion;
Jeff K
