How To Redirect From SEO Friendly URL To CMS From ASP Code
I am trying to SEO a website which gets content from a CMS, and is coded using ASP, running under shared IIS hosting.
There are urls like http://www.example.com/search.asp?it...6&third_id=Red
To get some keywords in there, I was thinking how to get a URL like this
http://www.example.com/Widgets/Special/Red/search.asp OR
http://www.example.com/special-red-widgets.html
convert automatically into the one above with ? and ids..
If this can work, I can have keyword rich URLs, which when clicked can turn into old ID urls, and fetch relevant content from the CMS.
I've heard about IIS redirect but am not sure how it works. Considering that the site is on a shared hosting, I wanted to know your opinion and best ways to achieve this.
Is there a way to get a printer friendly page using ASP. And when I say this I do not mean removing banner, picture etc and print the page.
The problem I face is, an ASP output is a big table with say 10-15 columns and it would not print even in landscape mode. So if I print the output from the IE browser the right side of the table gets cut. I want to know if there is an ASP code to over come this problem.
I used a Response.Redirect "page.asp" as the last command in ASP code that processes a submitted form from an Adobe PDF form (using HTML format). For some reason, if there is any linked file (image, stylesheet, javascript) in the target "page.asp" IE hangs until you press Escape. With Refresh, the page loads completely.
I checked the web log and the entry for "page.asp" is 200 (OK) but all the files I mentioned above all show 400. The description for this status code is pretty generic and not much help (a syntax error in the request and the server doesn't understand it
I can't control the syntax of the request so how can this be fixed? (and how could the submit from the PDF form have anything to do with this since other HTML forms directed to an ASP page with images etc. works fine.
For some of my pages I currently have part of the URL as being 'ourservices.asp?ID=1' (its got nothing to do with sessions) and I am currently changing part of it so its more SE-friendly - i.e. 'ourservices.asp?services=website-marketing'. However following Googles guidlines regarding dynamic URL's,. it says that some search engines don't crawl pages which have a '?' in them for fear of them being a session URL (which mine isn't). My question is- is there any alternative that I can use to replace the '?' with another character for my dynamic URL. Or, is this the only way I can have this dynamic URL?
I have an asp application that generate reports. The reports are a list of tables that contain information about users. each user has his own table. how do I get the tables to be printer friendly using either css or a script.And how do I page break the tables.
has any one tried SE Friendly URLs with ASP & IIS? There's nothing like mod_rewrite for IIS. Ofcourse there are some 3rd party COM available but how many of us can use them on shared webservers?
So, is there a way to do it?
For those people who don't know what I'm talking about,
Normal URLs with querystrings look like http://www.example.com/myPage.asp?id=1
while SE Friendly URL will look like http://www.example.com/mPage/1/
The operative words being look like. You will see the 2nd URL in the browser's address bar but the server will take it as the 1st URL.
I have developed a client based form using vbscript for a web page to run on IE and would like to make this form printer friendly. Anyone have some ideas?

Please attempt to solve your own problems before posting to Sitepoint. I know I (and other persons who will remain anonymous) find it a little irritating when one (or more) of the following happens:

1.1) We can type your question into Sitepoint's search and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
2) Your question is answered two posts below your question.
3) The answer requires merely looking up the appropriate object/function in the ASP/VBScript references. *
4) Two or three minutes after posting your question, you post "Oh, nevermind, I got it." without even referencing the solution so other people with the same question will know how you did it.

Just want to ask if anyone here has experience with doing printer friendly page. I have done a printer friendly page but the problem is if the line overflow, the printer friendly page will 'run' because my code count line by line, but by charactar or pixel.
My application runs on ASP and the business logic is embedded in Dlls written in VB. The application hosts a list of articles for the user to view and these are accessible through some complex urls like "http://mysite/articles/category1?articleid=34512". I would like to denote a friendly url to these articles such as "http://mysite/articles/kb_TaxPlanning.asp". I am thinking of using an ISAPI filter to do the work for me. My friend was trying on using a httphandler, but it did not work. Please share with us the resources for creating an isapi filter for the same. Also how to use the same for the expected result?
What are the best approaches to create printer friendly pages in ASP web sites.? provide us help or links to useful artciles on this topic. Also can we avoid creating separate printer friendly pages and send the current page output to printer as the PRINT button is clicked?
I have seen this functionality when we print our MCP transcript in MS certificastion site?
I'm having problems finding a guide for search engine friendly URLs for ASP. I found some program for sale that needs to be installed into IIS, but this is no good. My web hosting provider would never allow this.
Can anyone point me to a helpful guide in creating search engine friendly URLs out of dynamic sites for a Windows server with ASP? If someone knows of any good hosting providers who already have the ISAPI_rewrite filter installed for its customers, that would be great also.
i am developing a website and in it, i would like to allow them to print the webpage but without the header, footer, as well as to set the default printing layout to be landscape and not protrait. Does anyone know how i may go about doing it?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
Just when I thought I was done , I try going to the "myfolder.asp" page and I get an error:
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E37) [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-3.23.55-nt]Table 'streetguide.max' doesn't exist /streetguide03/members/myfolder.asp, line 73
Line 73 is in red.
This is because the user didn't have a folder created, because they didn't save anything to their folder. On another page I have code that creates a table with the same name as the UserName, only if they decide to save something in their folder. Code:
how to print the content of a multiline textbox without taking the content to some other "printer friendly" page. I just wanna send whatevers in the textbox directly to the printer.
but I keep getting a "permission denied" error. If I just put the same address string in IE6's Address box and go to it, IE opens myusername's FTP home page just fine, so I know the FTP site is working as expected. Also, if I put in an anonymous ftp site, without the username and password (e.g. "ftp://ftp.microsoft.com"), the redirect works fine, too.
I don't want the user to be prompted by IE for the username and password at the FTP site, so I am providing them from within the web site.
What can be preventing the response.redirect from handling non-anonymous FTP access? Is there a better way to do this?
I thought this is more of an IE issue but i've had no joy on that group perhaps somebody here will have a clue.
If i click a link to a web page embedded in Excel (97 OR 2000) i get the standard error page displayed by IE (you know, the 'cannot find server or dns error' page).
Turning off 'show friendly http error messages' alleviates this. (Unfortunately this is the Windows default setting!)
When i call logout.asp, it deletes the session etc etc and then redirects to main.asp. main.asp is the main content, which opens in the main frame of the frameset, which is named index.html.
How can i change the redirect.... Code:
Response.Redirect("main.asp")
...so that it loads the full index.html file once again, and not load the index.html frameset into the window.
I was wondering if it is possible to redirect the user to a specific page he/she request without the use of hyperlinks. Im suppose to list all the options in a drop down list and upon selection, say the page is Modified PBT, the user will be able to view that particular page.
is it something like
If Request("Submit")="Submit" then materialType = request.form("MaterialType") if materialType = "ModifiedPBT" then Response.redirect..... ......
How do I redirect a page back to the orginal sending page. I have a script that checks to see if a user is logged in and if he. she isn't then it redirects them to a loging page, one login has been checked and process, how do I redirect them to the original page.
I am working on a form that needs to be submitted to a different server. Apparently some firewalls alert the user that the system is sending data to a different server and this may not be wise. To avoid confusing users I though I could have a simple ASP script on the same server as the html form and it's only purpose would be to send the data to the other server and return a "success" message if it completed properly. I have a deacent understanding of scripting, but using PHP, this will be my first real go with ASP.
I have written an Two ASP pages one is login.asp Another verify.asp
login.asp redirects the page to verify.asp .
The verify.asp has the following code <% Set objCom = Server.CreateObject("AgileAPI.Server") objCom.SetLicenseKey "AFDGHDJLFLFMTTIGMVFK" b = objCom.Connect("agility", 9017, -1) b = objCom.Login(Request.Form("username"), Request.Form("password"), "agility", "D:COM", 9010, 16384)
Response.Write ("Connected to ADV 2006" & b) %> I have registered that dll using regsvr32. But it status bar is see http:localhost estverify.asp and stops there why its not redirecting or displaying the Response.write
i'm trying to make an asp page to log out from a restricted part of the site, and i'd like it to say "you have been logged out" then redirect back to the login page after a 3 second delay. how can i do this with either java or vbscript?
