I am running an asp script (form submitting to database). After the db entry I want to re-direct the users to one of 3 pages depending on which browser they are running ..
Internet Explorer, Netscape 4.7 or Netscape 6 or higher (since I am using embedded video feedback with CSS and dhtml....and all these brpwser handle things differently (ie. Netscape 6+ does not understand the <embed> tag or at least won't let me manipulate the video.) I can do it in javascript but how does one go about this in an asp script?
I have just uploaded my website and it looks fine in IE, but awful in Mozilla. I need to load a different CSS file according to what browser a user has. Does anyone have any code that will detect browsers and versions?
How can I detect what browser type my users are using, currently with my asp server variables I only detect Netscape and Mozilla as U, how can I get specific information without having to use software that you must pay for?
I'm going to go down this route of Cookie detection
<%
If Request.Querystring("Check") = "" Then
Session("cookietest") = "True"
Response.Redirect("cookietest.asp?Check=True")
Else
If Session("cookietest") Then
<!-- Execute code if enabled -->
Else
<!-- Execute code if disabled -->
End If
End If
%>
I’m a little worried, do you know how spiders work with regards to this sort of thing? My site gets some traffic due to it being spidered by the likes of google and I don’t want to loose that flow.
If I use this at the entry point of my site to redirect browsers with cookies turned off to a page telling them to turn them on will that stop the spiders?
I have a piece of ASP code that I want to run differently if it is on my development server.Basically, if it's on my server I just want it to do a few response.writes... If it's on another server I want it to send an email.Right now I have code to do both, but it's a pain to flip flop between them. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
Is there a way to detect that my ASP is going to display in a frame? Everything I've found tells me how to test if the browswer is frame capable. I know HTTP_REFERER is a big hint but it isn't very authorative. I can do this easily in javascript but that is of little help while I'm still running on the server.
What I want to do is check to see if I am executing in my frame. If not then load the frame then execute. Everything I can think of to do is either too late or unreliable.
Does anyone have a good and simple Low/High bandwidth detection script that either redirects the user to a page based on their bandwidth or which sets a variable that can be used to turn on/off media and content?
I have an photo gallery, I want to create a button that opens a new window fixing the full size image snugley in it, which is easy.
But I want to get a script which detects the image size so i can use the variables to open the window.
What i want to not do is have to more options in the database with height and width in, and have to call them, although i'll do that if i have to, but i thought i would try something new.
I have a simple ms access database front ended with simple asp pages using ms front page. I used the wizards to put it all together and I can send data easily enough using forms. I can recall the data using the data base wizards but I can't seem to design it to update the data once it's been submited. I've played around using sql update statements and modifying pages... but I gave up in the end. how I can design an update page using ms front page??? It doesn't have to be fancy or complex... I'll work on making it pretty later.
I have a website with a default webpage having an image. I am also having four(4) images. I'd like when the user closes the browser and reopen it, it must load a new image.
e.g. The User open the browser for the first time - Loads Image1. The User open the browser for the second time - Loads Image2. The User open the browser for the third time - Loads Image3. The User open the browser for the fourth time - Loads Image4.
The User open the browser for the first time - Loads Image1.
I know I can do this using JS but can I do it using Vbscript? I want to check if a browser is NS4 or lower and if so to display a certain stylesheet. If another other browser then display an alternative (more feature rich) stylesheet
in ASP Application can we get the application page by entering a single word in browser? more clearly. see i have my application in www root. called "test" folder.
now if i am entering only "test" in internet explorer browser, how can it will take fist page of my application. my first page of appliation is "login.asp" from test folder? please tell me how to implement it in ASP?send me the code.
How can I get text to remain on the Browser's statusbar? For example, if I'm saving data to a DB Table after a user clicks a Button in the ASP page, I want the statusbar to show something like "Save Successful" or "Save Failed" so they know something happened.
Right now, I'm trying to use the windows.status property, but it just flashes real quickly in the statusbar and then "Done" is displayed.
anyone knows a VBScript that acts as a webbrowser? I am behind a firewall and my local machine is not visible to the internet, but I have a access to some webspace with asp VBScript. With the right script I could tunnel pages and sites from my local machine
Does anyone know how can I get Visual Studio to show a classview-like function browser for my asp files? (For VBScript functions.) It would be enough if it showed the functions in the asp file I'm working on, even better if it showed all the functions in all the .asp and .inc files in a project.
I'm designing a small web application which is a table displaying live data which updates every minute or so. This app is very small and will stay open on a client PC's pretty much all day. So I was wondering if it is possible to display it in a browser , without the IE toolbars, just like a fixed dialog.
We are trying to record browser information when a customer comes to our site. I have been able to get most basic browser information using both asp and asp.net. The only thing I’m missing is the ability to detect plug-ins. Does anyone know how I can access the plug-in collection in IE? I have not found any clear way of doing it on the internet I’m starting to think I am headed down the wrong path. Maybe IE doesn‘t call it a plug-in collection?
I have a dynamic website system that my clients use to change their webpage conten online. Sometimes the new change isn't visible right away to a browser. I have the following in every webpage's <HEAD> section:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0">
which on previous investigation was supposed to be a solution for this. All I want is a definitive solution so that when a browser makes a call to my server for one of my pages, everything along the line that has a cached copy of the page is going to say "Aha! The browser wants the latest version of this page! I'm going to pass this request up the line to see if their is a more recent version instead of sending it my cached copy". (Yup, that is how browsers and ISPs speak to each other). What do I have to do to my webpages to ensure this happens? At the same time, I don't want it to be getting the page all the way from the server if the page content hasn't changed. In other words, I just want the cacheing to work properly!
Sorry if this isn't an explicit ASP question but no one in the HTML groups I've tried has any idea what I'm talking about and I'm hoping that those who frequent this room will have a better handle on the whole client/server/caching problem and the solution!
I have heard there is something called a 'virtual browser' which allows me to check asp and html output on the complete range of browsers without having to download each browser and version (side by side).I did a google search and see a variety of links but nothing conclusive. Is there a standard product experienced asp developers are using.can you point me towards it?What are the limitations and challenges in using this product?
My code works in IE but not in Netscape. Can someone let me know what should be done in order to view the javascript function also in Netscape. Thanks. Script:
Quote: <script language="javascript"> function showurl(v){ var layers = document.all.tags("DIV"); layers['show'].style.visibility=v; } </script> Form:
Anyone ever experience problems with Apples Safari Browser and ASP scripts? I have a user who keeps sending us feedback stating that Safari does not work on our site, but his Internet Explorer works just fine. He kept getting this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'CLng'
Now the code works perfect in all other browsers. I'm curious why Safari isn't working with ASP. Since all of the code is processed on the server, it seems odd that the browser would have specific issues with code. I'm not looking for help with code, just any input on whether any one has experienced problems viewing ASP scripts using Safari browser.
I have created a repository for training and reference files. The management would like to see reports regarding who is using what files. To do that I am sending the user to a page (OpenDocument.asp) with the URL in the querystring (?URL=blabla.asp). A database is then opened so the rep is logged and then they are redirected to the URL in the querystring.
The problem- When the browser redirects through a querystring it substitutes / with %5C. Once that happens the relative links we have created for the images do not appear because they are looking for the last /.
I am part of a group that has developed an ASP.Net web application. I'm presently trying to test some code I wrote that checks for IE browser at session start (and issue warning if not IE), but I can't seem to "get out the starting blocks" with any non-IE browser: I've tried Netscape 4.8, Netscape 7.0, and Opera 7.5. I've gotten a few different errors, but most often I get the following when attemting to access the startup page:
HTTP 401.2 - Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration Internet Information Services
Anybody know how to get another browser to work? Only my old Netscape 4.8 pops up a login dialogue, but I can't get that to log in correctly.
I’m building a intranet site and want to: 1)associate an desktop icon to a browser instance, i e, that icon opens the browser for, and only for the intranet site. 2) Once in there, unable the navigation activities, i e, unable the capability to get out of that intranet with that browser instance. 3)When called from the usual way guarantee the browser normal functionality.
I currently use a javascript routine to check what browser the user is using, but I'm trying to replace my client side code for server side as much as I can.
Does anybody have a good (and tight) routine to check what the browser is,eg IE, Netscape, FireFox, Safari, etc?
Does anyone know of a newsgroup or reference where I can determine why certain elements render differently between say, Internet Explorer and Mozilla? Our site has some of the worst HTML I've ever seen and some of it renders terribly. I think I'm finally through repairing all of the "IE Only" CSS tags.
Another problem I'm having is that when I use JavaScript to hide/show a row in a table, it works fine in IE but colspan formatting seems to be lost on Mozilla/Firefox in this scenario. Anyway, I'm really just looking for a decent newsgroup for HTML related problems.
if browser is NN 6 or higher - continue with page load. if browser is NN4X or lower -redirect to new page. if browser is IE 5 or higher - continue with page load. if browser is IE4X or lower -redirect to new page. anything else-continue with page load.
i ve tried a few existing scripts for asp and a couple for jscript.can any one tell the right way?
