The code below isn't clearing the cookie and sessions. It is used in my shopping cart to track the user and the items purchased/added to the cart. After making a purchase you are directed to the receipt page (where this code is). If you go back to the main site the items still show in the cart. Any thoughts?
' The below lines clears out the users cookies to allow for additional orders
Response.Cookies("customerid") = ""
(this part seems to work... when clicking refresh the proper error message is displayed etc.)
' The below lines clear session values to avoid duplicate ordering using Refresh
session("cust") = 0
session("cartID") = 0
I have a page that creates a cookie on your computer. at that point it stores login information. Seeing that I am on the administration side and wish to login to accounts without the cookie getting in the way, I create a page to delete the cookie as follows:
Response.Buffer = True
Dim Cookie For Each Cookie In Response.Cookies Response.Cookies(Cookie) = "this must be something!" Response.Cookies(Cookie).Expires = Date() - 1 session.clear session.Abandon() Next ' Cookie
For Each Cookie In Response.Cookies Response.Cookies(Cookie) = "this must be something!" Response.Cookies(Cookie).Domain = "hazsoft.com" Response.Cookies(Cookie).Expires = Date() - 1 session.clear session.Abandon() Next
This removes the cookie like i desire but, I must first reopen my browser for the cookie to be totally removed. As you can see I have also removed the session variables. Is there a way to remove cookies and session variables, without having to close the browser window?
Is there a way to clear cache using ASP, VBScript or Javascript?
I have created an ASP login page with sessions etc so unregistered members cannot view certain pages, however, when you logout you can still press the back button on the browser toolbar and view the pages, I want to find a way to make those pages expire by clearing the cache or something like that!
Does anyone know how to clear a sites cache with ASP. I have a login script that does not terminate the history when signing out. A user can simply click the back button and get back into the site..
I have a form with 4 different Submit buttons. In the action code, I do a request on the button names to see which one is valued. This all works great, until the browser is refreshed -- the request shows the name of the last button pressed. Is there a way to clear all the buttons so they don't appear to have been pressed when they've only been refreshed?
Im useing Access, and trying to clear the table before i write to it, and to be able to keep it all on one page? Trunicate table or something like that? This is waht I have so far but doesnt work. Code:
I assume it has to do with cache control, but how do I prevent the form from clearing when a user hits the back button? The form I am referring to is my registration page. After the registration is submitted, they are taken to an error handling page. If an error comes up, they are required to hit the back button and correct the mistake.
It seems like for the most part it retains all of the information in the fields, but occasionally it clears it out. How can I prevent this?
I searched the forum and got the following code from someone who posted it in 2002. However I can't seem to get it to work in my asp page. Can someone confirm the syntax for me? I would like to try and put it in an include file rather, but need to get it to work first.
In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available??? Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.
I have a form that comes up pre-filled with database results for the values. I'd like to add a button, though, that will clear all fields to start blank if desired.
A standard "reset" button, will only clear input that has been typed in, but won't clear the initial values. Does anyone have a script already that does this or could someone get me started on how I could do this?
I am trying to run and UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE SQL statements to update append and delete data from some tables in access. Here is the low down:
I want to update All of the fields from a table called TEMP into a table called POSTPONED, WHERE the 'postponed' fields = "False"
I want to then go on and clear the records from TEMP that have the field postponed = "false"
And finally i want to again append the remaining data in the TEMP folder into a table called RESULTS.
Does any one know how to do this or what the SQL statements should look like, i have tried writting them, no luck, i have tried generating them in Access but no luck because the ASP is erroring me on them and i dont know what its chatting about!
I have a form that on clicking of the Update button first updates the specific record in the db, then Inserts if the vMemo field is not empty. The problem that I'm having is that After updating if you hit the [F5] key (refresh) it inserts another record ...
I have tried:
1. Clearing the vMemo field after the insert is done (vMemo = "") 2. Setting the value on the form for this field to ""
Neither of these are working. It's not displaying it on the screen but it is holding it in memory (I guess). Any way to clear this out after update/insert?
Is it possible for a user to enable permanent cookies but disable session cookies.....this seems like a contradition yet this is what I appear to be reading in online articles?
I m creating a cookies in my application and it work properly but i can't see the cookies where it will sotred i checked the cookies folder but i didn't find that I want to create a cookies file as the other web site create and store where other cookies will stored in Cookies folder or Temprory Internet files folder eg:1. arvind@google.co[1].txt this stored in cookies folder 2. arvind@msn[2].txt ....
I'm just dipping my toes into server-side scripting.
The Global.asa file seemed really nice, but am I understanding correctly that the application onstart event is fired ONLY when the server is started/re-started or when the FIRST user logs onto an ASP application?
If that's the case, then all the changes I keep making to my Global.asa file are pretty useless, right? (which seems to be the case -- i.e., my pages are not using any of the new information). Code:
I've added a cookie and I am able to read it when using the same window but if I load up a new window and try to access it, it can't find the cookie. Any one know why?
I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies 2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...
After a login we have a menu from where we have access to different operations such as add ,delete,update.. but if a user enters the appropriate URL he has access to these operations with out proper authorization.how do we solve this.
I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?
Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?
im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense? how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?
I have the code below which I know it is wrong where the cookies come in. I am trying to write the values collected from a database into cookies. However I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to write rows of cookies with different values. This may be a little difficult to explain - see the following code:
Not strictly a full asp question but Im sure someone here will have the answer.I've read in several web sites that you can read and write to the same cookie with asp and javascript.Does anyone have any sample coding showing how to do this with the javascript along with the asp code or were these websites I saw it mentioned on bogus?
In my web application i'm are able to store large data in the browser cookie keeping in mind the limit of 300 cookies per browser, 20 keys per cookie per domain and 4KB max size of each cookie. i'm are unable to retreive this large amount of data immediately after storing through document.cookie in IE browser (The same works fine in Netscape).
Is there any limit on the size of the data that can be retreived using document.cookie? Could you please suggest a solution to this problem i'm are facing.
I found that a number of my sites that send email using CDO failed withing the past 30 days. Consider the following. I know its not the best coding practice to open and close the connection so many times but Im curious why this would all of a sudden become an issue.
1. Have a few large sites essentially all variables such as SMTP server are set using cookies so I can deploy multiple sites quickly.
2. Within the site email appears to work correctly across all pages with 1 exception.
3. The exception is below, Im wondering if it has to do with cookies having to be retrieved multiple times from the client machine
--Call db run search loop data build array
--Based on data in array call another search alter and finalize array
--Do while <= uBound(myArray)
--Call Email sub (from,to,sub,body) ' Sub contains a request cookies for SMTP server.
--Loop
Doesnt matter if its 2 or 50 emails always fails when using request.cookies to set the SMTP in the sub. Works fine if I hard code the IP. This same sub is used multiple times throughout the website and works fine with cookies.
Just curious why it needs might need to be hard coded in the loop. Has been running for about 6 months fine and have recently started noticing failures.
