I have an interesting problem that I have solved, however I am looking for a more elegant way of handling the problem.
I have been requested to put on the search page a check box, that if selected will export report data to Excel. The export functionality is simple using;
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
however the issue is as follows.
I need to redirect to two redirect to 2 different pages. One page for HTML and another page for the Excel output (the excel page is formatted very differently).
The current way that I am doing this involves Javascript, looking to see if the Checkbox has been selected and if so, I then change the form action and do a submit.
I was wondering if there was a way of doing this on the back end via ASP instead of using Javascript.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
-Jeff

I often have coditional rdirects.
This, however, usually requires a slight modification to the CodeCharge
generated sections.

It is done at the backend.
Look in the main asp file (not the _events) for Redirect.
You will see some conditionals thre. That is where I make the changes.
I do not have access to the code, but if you cannot figure it out let me
know and I will post something tomorrow).
