File Download and page redirection from one click

[James T Kirk]

How can I create a link to a zip/exe file, that will start a download and
then redirect to another page.

The files being downloaded will be different, but the page to be directed
to will stay the same.

I want the redirect to happen as soon as the download begins...

How can I do this ?

Thanks

thefirstpage.ht ml:
<a href="thatother page.html">Down load that other page</a>

thatotherpage.h tml:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=download.ex e" />

Is it possible to do it as a HREF... ?

<a onclick="parent .location='newp age.html'" href="file.zip" >Download</a>

That way each download is a separate link, redirecting to the same
newpage.html ??

Thanks
