help with redirecting to next page
Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me with redirecting in mod pl/sql. I am trying to figure out how to code the following functionality - I have a page that among other things has a link on it - when the users click on the link, a proc gets exectued that sets a cookie, and does some user checking.
