One link triggers two URLs?

[Ernie Soffronoff]

I'm working on a project that has a logout button, but (like most
things) it's kind of a hack. I'd really like the one logout window to
actually hit two logout URLs. I only need to display one window that
a person has logged out, but would like to end the session in both.
I'm thinking I could use something like

<A HREF="/DesktopServlet? action=logout" onClick="(somet hing)">

but I'm not sure what (something) would be. For argument sake, let's
say the URL I want to also click on (that I don't care about
displaying the contents of) is http://www.yahoo.com.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Only one of those will be followed. Try it out and see :)

Lets assume you have Page1.php that you are on, and it has a button to
log out. That button would submit a form to logOutPage1.php which would
then call logOutPage2.php *from the server*. Otherwise, you are doomed
to failure.

Doomed?!? Aie!

Thanks for your reply, though. It made me think a little more about
the problem, and I figured out a way to do somethng like what you
suggested.
