Javascript on a redirect page

[awingnut]

Before I go to the trouble of programming it, I have a question about javascript on a redirect page. If the javascript is the first object on a page that does a redirect, will the redirection wait until the javascript completes? Specifically, if the script contains and alert, will the redirect happen immediately or after the response from the user.

As an aside if a confirm is used instead of an alert can the redirect be programmatically effected by the response? TIA.

If the redirect is before the alert in source order, the redirect will happen first. If not, the alert will.

The same holds true of the confirm, so if the latter, yes, you can control the redirection with the user's choice.
