texte = Yep, that's it -- just redirect to an image (not a html file) so the browser can display it on the page when it retrieves it. The redirect tag just tells the browser where to get the image it *thought* it could find at the first location. From then on it's up to the browser to make another request for that image file itself, thus the redirect doesn't involve webdna any more, it's all up to the browser at that point.
