[CLOSED] Run URL from a fex

Hi

I have a HTML page with a "Run" button.
When clicked,parameters are passed into a fex and final output of that fex is a URL.

Is there any way to run the URL directly without another click?

Basically, when user clicks "Run" button on the HTML page, the page with URL created in that fex should display.
Please post your suggestions.

Thank you

create an output html page that contains a redirect.

something like this:
just replace the call to the fex with whatever your url is,
the 0 after content is the number of seconds to be waited before the redirect

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html><title>  </TITLE>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0 ;
URL=/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&|IBIC_server=EDASERVE&|IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF
&|IBIAPP_app=fdwbvm_app&|&|IBIMR_drill=X,dmmedcfr/dmmedcfr.htm
&|IBIF_ex=&redirectfex"> 
</head>
<body     background="/ibi_html/vis/qa_server_watermark.gif" TOPMARGIN="0">
eFinance is loading the default report view  
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
