RE: response.sendRedirect problems with IE5.5
Calling response.sendRedirect does not stop the execution of a JSP
page. You are responsible for returning from the _jspService method after
calling sendRedirect (by placing a return statement in your JSP).
What is actually happening is that Netscape is thinking that its
smarter than the web developer by ignoring everything after the redirect
command while IE is actually doing the correct thing (for once) and showing
all the HTML returned by the server.
