How do I force the page to refresh when the user hits the back button on the browser? I have an 'add' record form and I have inserted code so that it will not duplicate if the user submits the form several times.
however I just discovered that if the user goes forward then back and submits again it will create a new record. I want it to display the 'page expired' message.
I have never done the ASP programming yet but I want to hear the logic of the programming and see the sample code so I can have a better idea of how it work...
I have noticed that on one of hte ASP website, it was able to detect whether I did the back/forward button and blocked it.
I'm writing a math quiz. Every time the page loads, random problems are generated. The student enters the answers in text fields. They submit the form and the answers are checked.
if they were to press the back button, the same page will be there, and the student can fix the wrong answers. Is there an elegant way to force the page to refresh when the student presses the back button?
In an ASP.net application I would dearly love to
disable or intercept the User's click on the browser's
Back and Forward buttons so that the application can
control page navigation.
I suspect this only makes sense Clientside - perhaps
each aspx page could destroy history?
Has anyone any suggestions?
I have a fullscreen page which needs to incorporate a forward, back, and close button. I have this working fine but after a review, people suggested that the foward and back buttons not be active if they do nothing.
In other words they want them to function exactly like a standard browser's forward and back button. When you open a page in a new window, the back button is grayed out until you move to another page. The forward button is grayed out until you move back a page.
Can this be done?I need to place a grayed out image if there is no back history or forward history. Otherwise, I need an active image with the back and foward action.
My main page shows a table to which a user can add data to by clicking on a button, this in turn loads up a pop up window where the data to be entered is typed. Once the data is submitted the popup window is closed via Close button, but the table on the main IE page only shows the updated information if the refresh button is clicked.
All i want to know is, is there a way of forcing refresh of the main page when the close button in the popup window is clicked. Code used for the close button:
<TD><a href="javascript:self.close()" title="Close"><IMG align="center" src="http://localhost/***/close.gif" alt="Close Window"></a></TD>
How can I make it that if the user clicks the back button --- the page will be automatically refreshed form the database (the asp) and not just show what was on the page before they submitted?
View Replies View RelatedI have placed a dropdownlist on a form in using both ASP.NET WebMatrix and Visual Studio Web Developer 2005 Beta, set autopostback to true, made sure I have javascript installed and when the form repaints, it does not show the changes (textbox populated).
I thought at first that the scripting for the autopostback was not working, but then, after doing some searches, discovered that after the autopostback, I could see the results of the updated page only after doing a refresh in IE6. How can I fix this? Is there some IE setting that is messed up on my PC? I have my IE settings to check for newer versions of stored pages every visit to the page. Changing it to "Automatic" has no effect.
how to detect when the user click on the back button to go back to the previous page? Or a way to refresh a ASP page whenever it's loaded?
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to write an ASP page that would forward an XML request
to a remote server, and then write the response to the client (a
kind of proxy, if you like).
I am sending the query to this ASP via a VBA (access2k) procedure,
which basically looks like :
Dim oXMLHTTP As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP40
Const strURL As String = "http://myserver/myasppage.asp"
Dim strResponse As String
oXMLHTTP.Open "POST", strURL, False
oXMLHTTP.Send "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding
=""iso-8859-1""?><xmlxmlxml/>"
strResponse = oXMLHTTP.responseXML.xml
Now, the problem I have is to retrieve this XML !
In the ASP, I tried : Code:
I want to move to next data in the data set, however i am not sure what is the syntax.
Can anyone who know please advise me?Code:
strsql = "select main_cat_id, cat_name from main_categories where main_cat_id in (26,27,28,29)"
set rs = connectdb(strsql,strconn)
for i=0 to rs.recordcount
response.write rs("main_cat_id")&"<BR>"
rs next

I have a page with 2 frames. The first one has a link that loads a page in the second frame. This page has a button on it. When the button is hit, the page does some processing and loads another page in the same frame (the second).
I use ASP and response.redirect or javascript in the onclick event of the button to do the redirection. When I refresh the page by clicking the button on the browser (IE), the second frame becomes empty. Please note that the src attribute of the frame is not set.
If I set the src attribute of the second frame to some asp page and then navigate to another page inside the same frame, when I refresh the page, the initial asp page is loaded in the frame regardless of the asp page currently loaded into the frame.
It seems that when you refresh the page, the frames are reinitialized no matter what pages are currently loaded in the frames.
I solved the problem by redirecting to the main page in the top frame, passing some parameters and resetting the src of the frame to the desired asp page. Thus, when the page is refreshed, all the frames are properly refreshed too.
I have a string like so:
Fruit (apple) (pear) (banana) (pear/orange/apple)
I need a regular expression that will parse it into the following:
apple / pear / banana / orange
i.e. separate them all by a forward slash and remove duplicates.
I have a form that submits values to an asp page. If their is an error on the asp page that is called and you go back to the first page with the form. The values are not in the form.
How can I set the value back into form without the user having to retype them in? If I use hidden fields on the first asp page and I go back to that page wouldn't the values for the hidden fields be empty as well?
I have an ASP site that uses frames two frames. (yes I
should be using include files, but we started ou using
frames so we have been stuck with frames.)
When I get a page expired warning (I am not caching pages)
and a user clicks refresh from the menu bar the user is
taken back to the home page! The home page is a frame with
a top frame that is repeated on each subsequent asp pages
The lower half of the home page is a login screen.
After login the next page is shown in the lower half of
the frame. Refreshing within the individual frames is ok.
But when the Refresh from the menu bar is used the home
page is returned any ideas why?
I need to find a way to force all the asp code on a web page to load
regardless if the user hits the reload or stop button on the browser.
I am seeing where more and more users are doing this and it is causing
me some problems on some pages. I would guess there is a way to do
this I am just searching for the wrong thing?

Is there a way to force a file to be saved instead of using the "default action". In my situation, I've got a series of MP3 files that are being used by my chorus as a learning tool for learning the current music quickly. I have instructions on the site telling them to save the files to their hard drives and to play them from there.
However, people are just clicking on the links and their default MP3 players are trying to play the files. Now, I have compressed the files pretty hard because some were griping about the filesizes, so if they are played right off the link, the quality is a bit choppy. If they save it to their hard drive and play it there, it sounds fine.

Just curious: is there a bit of ASP code you can place in the top of a document that will force all root relative image and file paths in the HTML of this doc to expand to include the full URL?
I doubt it, but before I did it manually, I thought I'd ask. We use a template of sorts, but need one document to use the full URL, and it would better to just have it that way in the one document and not the entire template.

I need to make it so that I can download a .WMV video file. because giving users the direct link doesn't work and I think its alot better than asking them to right click and save item as..
The below code forces a prompt to the user to open or save the .pdf file file to their local machine. It seems to work great except I have one user who can not open any .pdfs using this prompting method. He gets an error that says "File could not be found". However, if we choose the 'save' option instead, we can save the file to his local machine. He can open .pdf files from normal links to .pdf files. It's just this prompting method that is causing a problem. So, I'm perplexed.
I did some digging and found that there is also an FSO (File System Object) method (which may or may not solve my problem), but I'm not sure how to impliment the FSO or if that will even help me with this.

View Replies View RelatedI have a page that does a postback using ASP.NET and VB.NET. Basically, there is a form item that changes the settings on the page and it is near the bottom of the page. If you change it, the page has to refresh to display the changes to the page, but when it does, the refresh causes the page to be displayed at the TOP of the page.
Is there a way to force the page to either A: scroll to the bottom or B: (even better) scroll to a certain focus point on the page by giving the name of a control or something?
