I have been using css to identify what link (page) the user is on by using body id. The site I am developing has alot of pages, so i am hoping this can be done easily using asp.
Here is an example of what I am after The user clicks on say Testimonials goes to the testimonials page and that link is highlighted.
i have created an array from recordset containing user names eg. (davidp, davidp, evenf, patricka, rebeccah). which i have sorted in alphabetical order, but i need to identify duplicates in this array and the number of times it has been duplicated.
If I have two different kinds of users on my website say simple posters and moderators, how do I differentiate between the two on my site while they move from page to page. I mean, I cannot append the user type ids with the web address to transfer the value from page to page since anyone wold be able to alter it. If the value is accessed from the DB every time a user requests for a page, then the program will become inefficient, wouldn't it?
We've created a video application that allows "voting" for videos, to determine prize winners. We want to restrict each computer to one vote per day. What is the best way to do this without requiring the user to log in? A login app is not in the client's budget, nor is it doable from a time standpoint. Is detecting IP address in ASP reliable for the average user? Cookies seem easiest, but they also are easy to wipe out.
I need to write some special logic in my ASP.NET page. If the page is visited by a human visitor, I want to show an advertisement. If the hit is from any search engines, I do not want to show the Ad.
How can I identify if the hit is from a human visitor or search engine? Is there a server variable I can compare with the list of available search engine names?
in one part of my application i have some kind of user and password form. it asks for e-mail and a costumer id (as password), the costumer id must be a number, it's an INT in the SQL table. i tried to use a javascript checking method, but this kind of checking method seems not to work at all in firefox, so i'll do the checking via asp. what i need to know is how to check if a some VAR got anything except numbers in it?
does anyone know of a way to check if a process is running on the server... using asp ? I basically have an html form and upon submittal of the form ... i would like to redirect to the response page when a certain process is no longer running . the logic is as follows Code:
1) user enters form values and clicks submit button 2) server side asp checks the server for a process "wpuba.exe" 3) if "wpuba.exe" is not running .. redirect to page2.asp
basically I want to wait for the "wpuba.exe" process to terminate before redirecting to the response page.
i have 2 application variables called totalAdminLoggedIn and totalUserLoggedIn
when ever an admin login, I increment the totalAdminLoggedIn value by one and when a normal user logg in, the totalUserLoggedIn value will be incremented by one.
how can i change the values when the session expire ? i can reduce the value manually when they logoff like:
if session("userCategory")="admin" then Application("totalAdminLoggedIn")=Application("totalAdminLoggedIN")-1 elseif session("userCategory")="user" then Application("totalUserLoggedIn")=Application("totalUserLoggedIn")-1 end if session.contents.remove "userCategory"
but what if the session expires automatically or if they close the window suddenly?
I am doing a webpage which allows different users from various departments to do a search/print information of people within their own department. I have a login page for user to key in the correct password and id before they enter the system. However, in order for the restriction to take place, I will have to ensure that the system recognises the person that is logged into the system.
Does anyone know how to hide and show a link depending on the level of the user. Like I want the link to show if the person loging in is an admin, but if the person is a user than I dont want the link to show?
Having a problem getting my asp url to work. Im trying to pass a var and some of them have the & in them. This is breaking my url since it looks for another var with the &. If i put the %26 instead of the & manually it works fine. How do I get that to encode that on the link ?
I know the problem is the data that is in the heading field has & in them. I can not fix that part. Is there a way to force the & in the url to go to %26 ? Code:
To secure files on a site with authentication we have put the attachments in a folder outside the IIS web site like this:
D:Documents<ItemID>filename.doc
where ItemID is a number which we use to check permissions inside our application.
In order to download the file from the site we have made a binary reader component (we could probably use SAFileUp or something instead, but this works) to send the file through an ASP-file:
http://mysite/Docs/ShowDoc.asp?ID=<ItemID>
This works well.
So to my problem: If I right click the link to save the file on my local computer (Save target as), it will save the file properly, but the filename in the Save As-dialog is ShowDoc.asp. I want it to be filename.doc instead. Is it possible?
I've heard that on a Apache web server you can write the link like this:
http://mysite/something/filename.doc?ID=<ItemID>
but then the server knows that it's http://mysite/Docs/ShowDoc.asp?ID=<ItemID> it should load. If this is possible in IIS, the Save As-problem will be solved.
I am not sure where to place the ONCLICK code in the hyperlink as this link is written out via response.write......Its all the " " & ' ' that get me ...
I have a database of literature and I've created a search page that pulls up the records matching the search criteria. However, I'd like to create a link to the article in pdf format, if it exists. I have a field in the database that contains the file name (and path), but not all records have a corresponding pdf file. Code:
I would like to have a link that when clicked, sends info to an ASP page to process, but does not submit the entire page. This way, the user will click on a link and will not be taken to another page, but precessing will occur. This is mainly for a 'Rating' Application. Amazon.com does this and I want to know how they do it. Here is the link to the amazon page (you may need to be logged in) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...5480771-6490552.
(1)I posted this in general but didnt get anywhere. Then I recalled seeing something recently on the web on an ASP site but cannot recall where.
(2)I have a list of pdf files avaiable for the user to view. When they click the pdf link, the pdf file opens. How can I make the link be a 'save' link? ie, when they click the link, windows treats it as a file to 'save as' etc...
What I vaguely recall on the ASP site was: 'How to hide the path of a download file by using an ASP redirect page'. I was wondering if anyone knows this method, and if they do, would it solve my problem in (2)
I would like to put a picture on may page and I would like to use this picture as a button to execute an sql query, so when you clik on the picture you will hace displayed in the next page the product in the data base and other info like price for example. I have this code to access the data base but I do not know how to use a picture s a buton to use it. Code:
and my link is <A href='register.asp?ret_page=<% =request("ret_page") %>

I am trying to create a link that takes a record ID and opens up a PDF file that is associated with the record ID in the database. The following code works
If you have a webpage with frames, say a footer frame that contains links, how can you get out of the frame if you click on a link in the footer. The it works now, is if I click on a link, the page loads inside the small footer frame. I'd like it to just get rid of the frames completely when I clickon the link. Any clue?
Example, Firstly go to http://www.koolgift.com/index.asp, Select Products button... Choose "Apparels & Towels, Caps & Hats"... then choose "5 & 7panel caps & winter caps"... when you scroll down, you will see the Back link button.. when u click on it..it actually link you back to the previous page... however i will like to link it back to the page where the list of products under "Apparels & Towels, Caps & Hats" is...
this is my current coding for the Back link <td width="766" valign="middle" align="right"> <a href="#" onClick=javascript:history.back(1)> <p align="right"><font color="#FFFFFF">Back</font></a>
How would you go about creating a link on a desktop through an asp page. You know the old trick click here to bookmark this page?. I need to take that a step further, i need a link that when clicked it creates a link on the desktop to that page.
I want to make a button just like here (when posting new thread) to insert hyperlink into text. For example when user is typing text into textarea I would like to have also a button that can enable users to post different links to other intenet pages. And I would also like to have button that makes the text bold (Actually those are buttons that appear on most forums when posting a new thread)
when you click on it to go to the off site the user name and password will be automaticly inserted to where the offsite is asking for the name and password. My company deals with insurance companies and we would like to make it to where when our employees go to our intranet and click on a link to one of our carriers it will have the name and password in place for them. i heard its possible and old company did it but I am having so much trouble trying to figure this out.
