There's nothing in the HTTP protocol to allow you to send two answers to one request. One hack that will work on MOST current browsers is to put a: <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;URL=http://example.com/download.php"> in your HTML, so the browser will then redirect them to the download. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
