Re: Returning more than one page (or: pagination)

[Ken Anderson <ka...@pacific.net>]

The http response has to tell the browser to open the 3 windows, and the 
only way to do that is with javascript. You can feed the contents of the 
2 child windows through from the parent window (the one you open first) 
using windowname.document.write if you really want to do this. But a 
more cross browser compatible & robust way to do this would be to just 
open one window at a time - directly from the servlet, so that there was 
no messy javascript to deal with. Maybe just return an index page so the 
user can choose the page to view?
