hi

i want to use a popup window to confirm to a user they have been registered

this is my code
<%@ page contentType = "text/html" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>
<%@ taglib prefix = "sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql" %>

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<c:if test="${param.confirm_reg == 'no'}">
<jsp:forward page="register.jsp" />

</c:if>

<c:if test="${param.confirm_reg == 'yes'}">

<script>alert("You are now registered")</script>
<jsp:forward page="login.jsp" />
</c:if>

</body>
</html>

the problem is if the details are correct it forwards them straight to the login page. I want the popup to display Registered successfully or whatever and then forward to login page. any help would be appreciated

Well it seems to me that an easy fix would be to change

<jsp:forward page="login.jsp" />

To another jsp page that says Registration Sucessful, and then foward from that page to the login.jsp page. You may want to consider putting in a link to login or some type of meta tag refresh to login.jsp just so the user has enough time to read it.

thanks
i was thinking of forwarding to another page that says "you have registered please wait" but i didnt know how i could put a delay in it. I'll give that meta tag refresh a go
