Is there a way to disallow a page from being cached? I'm about to
introduce functionality that will not work properly if the person uses
the 'BACK' button on their browser and would like to ensure that they
cannot. I tried using <% response.expires = -1 %> thinking that it would
work, however it only ensures that another request has to be sent to the
server. Any ideas other than simply giving the user a message NOT to
use the back button?
Here's a link to the functionality. It uses session variables to produce
a dynamic rate quote. (Tip use WDW in the Description/Keyword search).
This problem is regarding ASP/AJAX. I don't really want to bore you with all the code so i will start off by giving an overview of the problem.
I have an ASP page that places an AJAX request to an ASP page that retrieves a random record from the database, the information returned is then updated into a Div on the original page. The original page has a Refresh link to repeat the procedure and select another random database entry. With me so far?
In firefox this works perfectly, but im having problems in IE. It seems that the ASP page that accesses the database is cached somehow as everytime i use the refresh link it returns the same data. I have used the time() function in the returned data so I can see that it is exactly the same info returned with each refresh.
It seems that the response is being cached and rather than rerunning the script the cache is being returned.
I want to be able to return to a search results page without having to reload the page after having followed a link from one of the results. Would a search results pages generated by asp be cached, and is it possible to direct the browser to load quickly from the cach rather than slowly from the server.
I have three asp pages. The initial page is login.asp, it goes to page hello.asp. And hello.asp goes to page another.asp. If it goes back from hello.asp to login.asp, then in Internet Explorer, clicking on Back, the cache of the page hello.asp has been removed, which is the effect that I want.
If it goes back from another.asp to login.asp, and then in Internet Explorer, clicking on Back, the page another.asp still remains. Code:

We encountered a very strange problem. We host a web site: www.[our_site].com and a large number of our users belong to an organization group with central network control and they can only access our web site through two headquarter proxy servers: x.x.a.7 and x.x.b.8, which was set in security dept of the group headquarter. The web site was working fine till recently when those user accessing via x.x.a.7 all have problem suddently while those accessing via x.x.b.8 have no problem. The users accessing via x.x.a.7 are directed to wrong page, very slow response, hang on some page or encounter errors, etc. If they access the same site via another alias, like www2.[our_site].com which points to the same web server, they will not have any problem. They do not have problem to access any other web sites we tried, including our other web sites hosting in the same site, even the same server. If the users change their ie setting to use other public proxy server, they will have no problem to access our site. Strict security policy are applied to the user site, so we cannot ping, tracert or do any other network testing from user machine. Since user has no problem to access any other web site, the headquarter security department wont handle our case and simply think it is our problem.
I have recently changed web hosts, and am suddenly having the problem that IE is displaying cached ASP pages, i.e. displaying data base query results from the first assembly of the asp page. Surely this contravenes the whole principleof ASP as a dynamically generated page. I didnt get the problem with my previous host.
What am I to do about this? If it is browser dependent, how can I be sure that all users have their browsers set correctly. If it is a host problem, it would be good to have some idea what the problem is before contacting them. Or is there something I can do within my asp page to ensure that the current page is the one displayed by the browser?
I am running an ASP file that returns image buttons back to the client. The download on the client side is slow (about 19 small images on the page). I am running on Windows XP SP1 behind ISA server, and the request is coming from an outside IP.
The same application on an NT 4.0 Server works fine. The download time is maybe 3 seconds, versus about 20 seconds for the same exact images. It is behind the same ISA Server.
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.
Is there an effective way to stop pages from being cached?
I've created several websites that have dynamic content and images that are managed by a client. The images are named according to the "id" generated via an Identity column of their corresponding database record (ex: 1058.jpg). The problem occurs when the client tries to change the image.
The client gets understandly confused because the old image is still displayed, due to the browser caching the image. How can I force the browser to stop caching the page/image?
I created a web page from Excel2000, using "Save as web page..."...Publish function. then, I moved htm file to my IIS web server. Then I added a form control, and submit button.
How can get the data on the excel file using ASP from server side? For example, the value of Cell(1,2), Cell(2,3)....
What I want to be able to do is create a user control that will display an entire page page within it. Does anyone know how to do this or better yet have any same code?
I like to know how to write this specifc function on ASP where the user eg: display a set of records on the webpage. Example the data are ID, Name and address.
Lets say i display the data on the webpage and i set the Name as the <a href>. So when i click on the name, it will move to another page with the id of the specific name. Code:
I have an ActiveX control in my ASP page that has not been signed yet, so currently just for testing I set the Security for Intranet to "Low". When I run the ASP page on my machine (the IIS is in my machine), I have no problem, except the page prompted me with "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?"
But, when I run the ASP page on another machine (even though the other machine is also a development machine that already has the ActiveX control and I set the Security for Intranet to "Low"), it did not prompt me the above message, and I got an error when accesing any method of the AX control (e.g Object doesn't support this property or method 'myAXControl.method').
Is this because I have to create a CAB file and mark the AX control as safe for scripting ?To create a CAB file for this AX control, do I need to create my own VB AX Control project that contains this control and then create a cab file for this VB project ?
This is a standard ASP application that has several pages at the root withthe global.asa. I set a session variable session("accountid") = "123456" within an asp page and then response.redirect to the next page and immediately response.write session("accountid") and I get back nothing.
But if I set a session variable session("accountid") = "123456" within an asp page and response.redirect to a page in a sub directory and immediately response.write session("accountid") I get back 123456 on the screen.
I am having a problem with a site that I am developing - my aim is for it to validate as XHTML Strict however, I am running into a couple of problems validating it; in my Response.Write ASP script, I am not including " 's to define page element tags as they keep throwing up errors in the page. Code:
I've a strange problem with Windows Vista, running an ASP page on local machine (http://localhost/test.asp), the page does not give me any error but the asp code is not executed (simple code : <% response.write("hello") %), it show me a blank page, I think I've put all the setttings correctly, but maybe I must do something obvious to fix that.
I encounter a page reload situation in ASP. It is I need a way to differentiate whether the current page - "Application_Result.asp" got reloaded itself when user click on the browserRefresh button or is requested by the previous page "Application_Form.asp".
I tried using <%if Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" then%> <!--it is requested from "Application_Form.asp, do something--> <%else%> <!--Application_Result.asp refreshed itself(such as user clicks on the browser Refresh button, do something else--> <%end if%>
However, in both cases, the IF statement above all evaluated as true. how to differentiate this two different behavior (Page Refresh versus Page requested by another Page) ?
I have page for user to update his/her details. What i want is after idle for more than 20 mins, the page will redirect to login page automatically. So that the user knows that his/her session already expired and need to login again.
But it doesn't working. This is because if he/she update the details (after idle more than 20 mins), and click the Submit button, it will go to login page and all the data will be lost. Code:
I am working with a developer, on two portions to a site, he is working in PHP and my work is done in ASP.
Is it possible for my pages to request data from a cookie that was written by his pages that are PHP but residing on the same server? Just want to make sure before I spend too much time planning out the development on my end.
I have an application which allow users to search our database. Quite a lot of search fields pull data from other tables. I don't want to populate the dropdowns (total 14 of them) from the database everytime as it slow the page load.
Instead I would like to have a link next to the text field which a user and click and the choices can be displayed and whatever the user click in the pop up I want to transfer it to the text box and close the popup.
For example there is a Textbox called country. The user can either type in the country name or click on the link which will pull all the countries from table in the database and which ever country user selects, the textbox is popluated with the country name and the pop up closes automatically. Code:
I'm trying to write an asp page line by line, as one would create a text file, only my file will end in .asp.
One line simply writes a close ASP code tag, or
FILECONTENTS=FILECONTENTS & "%>"
When this line processed, an error occurs saying that the string was never terminated because the asp page attempting to write this line of code to a NEW asp page reads that close ASP tag (%>), as an actual close asp tag for itself, instead of a STRING value.
How do I write this %> symbol to a new asp file, while still maintaining its purpose to close a group of asp code in the newly created page?
But as i carry some data from previous previous page, when i use (window.opener.location = window.opener.location), it can't capture my data as it just load the page. It will pop up error as no data captured :
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: '[string: ""]'

What is the best way to lead customer from a regular page to a secured page?
Regularly, we use absolute path. say first ,a customer is on this regular page for general information: http://xxxdomain.com/index.html, then customer decides to buy something from our site. Then our program will provide an absolute path like this: https://xxxdomain.com/buy.asp.
Recently I am doing migration and feel that the absolute path is not convenient for program migration and domain merge. So I am wodering if there is any other way to do it? any suggestions and comments?

Is there a way I can make my server's 404 page display even when a correct page is requested?
Here's what I'm doing: on a certain page, the requestor's IP number is checked. If the number is an intranet number (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), then the user is allowed to see the page. Otherwise, I want the 404 page to appear, as if the page doesn't even exist.
