Hypothetical Situation
I have 1.aspx and 2.aspx.
1.aspx has a form, and its action when you press the submit button, is to process a CGI form (1.cgi), and then the cgi script goes to 2.aspx.
2.aspx displays the confirmation that the script(s) has been run.
Without editing the CGI script(s), is there a way that I could make sure both 1.cgi and 2.cgi are run from 1.aspx, and then 2.aspx is displayed? Apparently, it's not possible to run 2 scripts from one <form action=> tag...
Any suggestions are more than welcome.

as far as i know this is not possible, unless you combine the two CGI scripts to make one single script
NOTE:i do not consider myself a CGI expert ;)

yea... it's a bummer. the only thing is, that i can't edit the CGI scripts, and i can't merge them. from what it looks like, there is no way to do what i want.
edit: could i load 2.cgi in the <body load=> of 2.aspx? would the results from the submitted form carry through to 2.aspx?

<body onLoad="boo()" onUnLoad="ha()">

<body onload="boo()" onunload="ha()">
