anyone ever noticed that if you're in a select box on a form and you push the backspace key, it takes you back a page in your history?
It even did it on this posting page, when I clicked in the font drop down.Any idea how to prevent this?
I created a full asp web application. I have most of the bugs worked out of it. However, when I turned it over to the end-users for testing they found a wierd situation, as end-users will, that I hadn't come across.
When a users is filling in a form and they land on a dropdown box, if the user hits the <Backspace> key it takes them back one page.
Since this is my first asp project and Im not that experiainced with web applications, I wasn't sure if this was really an issue. Since this doesn't happen when the user lands on any other control, text, check box, option button etc... Code:
I had posted a question asking if there was a way to disable the backspace key on a web form. Because I had users complaining that when they hit the backspace key on a drop down or option, or check box it took them to the previous page.
I found a javascript that altered the ASCII value of the backspace key that eliminated the issue.
However it worked too good. What I would really like is for the backspace to be disabled on the drop down, option, and check box controls and re enabled on text controls. One funny thing I noticed is that the backspace does continue to work on single line text boxes but not multiline. Code:
Looked everywhere and have so far got no further than an hour ago.
I want to alert the user when they have pressed the close button on the window so that they have the option of not closing. I know it sounds mad but its essential for me.
So far I've been using instructions like 'if request.form("var.x") <>
"" then ...' but then I found that if images are disabled (or not
found) and I click on the alt text, then Firefox (or was it IE?) sends
a 'var.x=' in the response so my instruction doesn't detect that the
'button' was pressed. Is it safe to change my checks to 'if
request.form("var.x").count 0 then ...' instead? does it work for
all browser responses and HTML standards, etc?
NOT SURE It's an MTS matter or just IIS , and if not, do tell me what is the software to use for it,a dn where to ask.
I'd like to get a daily/weekly/monthly report regarding number of links that r pressed from my site.
Details:
1. I have 4 pages, and each page has a list of links. I'd like to get statistics reports regarding usage of these links. I.e. - I'd like to know how many times each link is pressed (pre day, week, month) by users.
2. I would also like to know what hour/day/date each pressing took place, and also the IP number of the user.
3. I would also like to know if possible to get the info as a table that can be edited later (if copied to excel etc.), and get Graphs also.
We r using IIS (Intranet), OS IS windows NT, and DB is Microsoft Access. I'd like the administrator to perform such reports on a daily basis (and weekly and monthly as well), and send it to us (the asp programmers).
I have no access to the live server (besdies copying files to there), so can not use the IIS/MTS myself.
Is there a way in ASP to prevent users from accessing a web page when the back button is pressed in the browser.
