If you're getting the output with an javascript request, sending redirec=
t =

headers won't help you changing the current page (most HTTP headers are =
=

useless). It can redirect javascript, so in this case the javascript =

request will indeed be redirected to an entire page, and as long as you =
=

have configured javascript to write the output of the request to the =

current document...

Common practise is to return a (JSON) object that holds the 'action to b=
e =

performed', which is interpreted by the javascript asking for a response=
=

to begin with. Wether it is to add content, alter form elements, or do a=
=

location.replace on the window, all is possible as long as javascript =

understands your output. How to do this reliably is better asked in =

comp.lang.javascript.
