Here's my problem. I have an Autoload that checks to see if the value of
variable "passcode" matches a certain value. If it doesn't, the user is
bounced to the "enter_passcode" page where they enter the value for
"passcode" in an input=text field.
The problem with Autoload seems to be that when the form on the
"enter_passcode" page is submitted, the input=text field's value for
"passcode" doesn't get set to the IC variable of the same name (called with
[value passcode]) until AFTER the next Autoload is executed. That means
[value passcode] can't be evaluated properly on that next page.
My solution was to set mv_nextpage to a temporary page which bounces the
user to the final destination (index) once it evaluates [value passcode]
IN-PAGE to see if the value is good. Of course, now I've got the security
warning because I'm bouncing.
Would using mv_click or mv_check along with setting mv_nextpage directly to
index.html solve this? I didn't think so after reading about them in the
docs. Can you think of any way to make this work without a META Refresh?
Thank you for all your help!
