I know this probably sounds like a newbie question, but I was under the impression that secure pages (https) don't appear in the history/address bar history list - this appears to be incorrect?
Should I really be putting some form of expiry command at the head of each of these pages if I don't want casual users to see them? I use Classic ASP so is it better to use a command via this lang or the old META methods?
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?
All of the ASP pages already have the following:
<%Response.Expires = -1%>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
Any ideas?
I have installed iis and setup a new virtual directory, I then try to view it with the correct address but IE just hangs, nothing appears except the title on the titlebar and busy cursor. Going to view>source shows the source (which is correct).
This was a previously working website, I just moved the files onto a new computer. And wanted to use that instead. More info can be supplied if required. Alternatively, a good website showing how to setup iis again for asp including db's.
I have 3 pages. on page 1 there is a select box, name="UD", containing "Data B"
page1 submits to page 2
on page 2, <% USD=request("UD")%> results in USD = "Data B"
USD displays in a text box as "Data" (the space and B missing)
page 2 submits to page 3
on page 3, <% USD=request("USD")%> results in USR = "Data" (the space and B
missing)
How do I keep the data complete?
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 have a few reports that grabs +- 27 000 records from a database, does a few calculations and queries on them, and then writes the results to a text file. As you can imagine, this does take a while (half an hour if the server isn't busy) and hammers the servers resources.
I sometimes realise (after I've started the page) that I made an error in my code, or that another report is more important at the moment. The only way to stop the page if something like this happens, is to bounce the server (even closing my browser doesn't work) - which won't make me very popular .
Is it possible (at all) to stop the execution of the page after it has been started? (I know that ASP is executed on the server, and only the results are sent through, but doesn't it have some sort of event handling?
I have a asp page which is pretty long. This consitst of various recordsets. My intention is to stop execution of a code at a cetain point and test one value prior to this point. Is there any way to do this?
View Replies View RelatedI have this asp screen (not .net just asp) where user can fill in report criteria and then when they hit the "Go" button, at which point the report page will be displayed. Sometimes the reports are quite big and may take 2 to 3 minutes to complete.
If the user realizes he makes a mistake as soon as he gets to the report page, he may hit the "Stop" button and think the server has stopped generating the report, but it's not true. The server is still running the process.
This is particularly more obvious for developers like myself cos I have the server installed on my workstation. When I hit the Stop button and then back to the report filter page and make some changes and then hit the Go again, it'll take 2 to 3 minutes before it'll show the report page this time, as if the server was trying to complete my last report first, before processing my current new request.
Question I have therefore, is, if I'm running a long server process, then how I can get the server to stop this thread (or process?) when the user hits the Stop button, or hits the Back button?
im making a simple site where people can add comments into a shoutbox. only ive had experience of people adding in html tags and javascript to redirect people away from my site and display images etc which im not interested in.

I support a website. When we send HTML emails from out system, we generate a variable called "str". We set that str variable to the objMail.htmlbody property of the mail object. Frequently, random spaces appear in the email when it is received by the recipient, however those spaces do not always appear in the same place (yet frequently they do). additionally, we'll sometimes see some actual HTML code in the final email, and usually shows up as a complete tab, such as "<br>", or "< TD BGCOLOR='#FFFBF0'>".

View Replies View RelatedHow do you delete a page from the browser history when a user has logged out, it worries me that when a user of mine signs out all you have to do is hit back on the browser and you can see what the user was doing.
I've seen this done befor on the likes of banking websites.
Is it a javascript?
I know the response.expires but that won't delete it from the history.
I use this code to go back one step but i try to change it to go back two steps and it didn't worked. Is this possible?

The navigate2() browser function has a parameter to replace current page in history with new URL. Can IIS achieve the same task by sending a browser appropriate headers or something?

and why has it suddenly started appearing in emails from an asp page using CDONTS to send an email?
I have an existing ASP file in a virtual directory. When I type server. or request. in this text file using Microsoft Script Editor I get a dropdown showing the properties available for the object.
However, if I change the extension to ASP on an existing html file, or create a new asp file I'm not getting the dropdown. I suppose this indicates the objects are not available in these new files, and they would not run properly if I tried to open them. What am I missing in setting up these new ASP files?

View Replies View RelatedI have a form that is being sent using CDONTS. The problem is the form I'm sending has a lot of special characters (it's in Spanish) and while I know how to get the chars to display correctly on the page, they're not showing up correctly in the email.
They either show up like this:

or if I encode them, like this:

How can I get the email to display the correct character
Country : Canadá
I'm fairly new to ASP (I'm a PHP programmer) and have no clue how to do it.
I've noticed that the email is not set to encode in any special way like the equivalent for PHP......

View Replies View RelatedI am creating a web-based application with ASP and using frames. I wonder how we could trace user's browsing behaviours in this particular domain. That is, I need to know which pages the user has viewed and which pages the user has not yet visited, as this information is essential and will be used to assess their learning paths and progress.
Therefore, my question is that how to create a file which stores information about users' browsing history, i.e. the page the user visited, so that we could use these information to assess users' learning progress, or what is the right means to tackle this requirements?
Using IIS 5.0 and sometime some asp pages (absolutely
randomly) showing as blank white pages. So far only one
way of fixing it - restart whole server. Restarting IIS,
or specific web server not helping, only whole server.
I enable server side and client side debugging, but no
errors showing up...
In view source pages always look like this:
-----------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1251"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
-----------------------
Any idea why it can happened and how to fix?
I started noticing some page errors in my web application. All
of the erroring clients where using Windows XP - MSIE 6.0. It seems these
clients were passing the bookmark (fragment identifier) portion of the URL
to the server.
For example, with the following URL:
http://testsite.com/page.aspx?myquery=test#bookmark
The browser *should* send a request for:
http://testsite.com/page.aspx?myquery=test
However, these clients were sending the entire URL as the request. Thus, my
querystring parameter "myquery" had the unexpected value of "test#bookmark".
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Perhaps it is related to the
download.ject patch (released July 2). I have yet to recieve a response to
this message, which was posted one week ago in two other newsgroups.
