Criteria-based URL Redirection On-Load Briefly Shows Form
Originally posted here, and now re-posted as a separate bug to track.
Problem: If a form's on-load script has an IF statement that checks for some criteria (i.e. date-time, ZOHO signed-in user ID, IP address, etc) and performs a URL redirection based on this criteria to some other page/form/view, the original form flashes for a second before the redirection.
Issue: I can stop the page loading to prevent the redirection thus exposing the form. Also, the application just seems unprofessional by briefly showing the form. Finally, a mischievous user can stop the redirection!
See the enclosed movie (avi). In it, I allow the form to redirect a few times. Then, I cause the redirection to fail by stopping the page from loading, exposing the form I should not have access to based on my IP address. You can try it here: http://creator.zoho.com/niskypto/my_app/
