redirect to Visualforce page on record save

I would like to redirect to a Visualforce page I've created when a user saves an Opportunity, and the Opportunity is closed/won. I've written a trigger to test the logic and the new VIsualforce page, but I'm stumped on how to accomplish the redirect because apparently according to this thread: http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=apex&message.id=3321 you can't redirect from a trigger.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance...

The manual says APEX can not do this.
 

What are the Limitations of Apex?

Apex radically changes the way that developers create on-demand business applications, but it is not currently meant to be a

general purpose programming language. As of this release, Apex cannot be used to:

• Render elements in the user interface other than error messages

• Change standard functionality—Apex can only prevent the functionality from happening, or add additional functionality

• Create temporary files

• Spawn threads

You can do this with an s-control in the interim, until apex or VF alternatives are available.

 

create a html s-control something like this

 

<html> 
<head> 
<title></title> 
<script> 
var newURL= "{!URLFOR ( $Action.Contact.NewContact, null, [ saveURL=$Action.Contact.View ], true) }"; 
window.parent.location.replace(newURL); 
</script> 
</head> 
</html>

 

Then override your standard button. Done.

use on Update / on Insert in a trigger and it will accomplish what you want.
