Actually, this is what finally worked.

<html>
<head>

<script language="javascript">
function texttest ()
{
var here = this.location.href
var textvalue = document.test.text.value
if (textvalue == "")
window.open (here)
else
window.open ("thanks.htm")
}
</script>

<title>Test Survey</title>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" extcolor="black" onUnload=texttest ()>
<form>
<input type="text" name="test">
</body>
</html>

Using the onUnload event is obnoxious as hell, as you can't even close the browser unless you do the thing that's requested. However, since this is an intranet site, we can abuse our clients somewhat. :)
