I'm new to the group and to JQuery, but am currently reading and writing a review of JQuery in Action. I have an interesting problem; I'm hoping someone can help me with it.
I have a form that posts to a server. When the post executes, it always receives a redirect. What I want to do is capture that redirect, determine whether it is an HTML page or a PDF document. If it is an HTML page, I want to display it in the same window/tab. If a PDF document, I want to change the target for the GET (the redirect) to "_blank" (a new window/tab). I'm afraid that so much of ajaxSubmit is wrapped up that I cannot get access to what I need. I don't even know if JQuery will allow me not to follow redirects - I don't see any API for this, but I'm likely missing something. Any ideas? Thanks! David Sills
