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.
View RepliesI have found a tutorial to create a hit counter for my webpage which runs off of a database it is all wonderful and everything BUT, whenever I am working on the site and refreshing a thousand times to see what everything looks like, it is counting me too.
Is there any way to code your own counter that counts only unique visitors? I would use a free one, but of course I don't want any links or images on the site, I want to be the only one that can see the stats.
How can I find out what site a visitor has come from using ASP? Suppose my website is sample.com and I have one page in the website that is used by the visitor to request products and demo. And on each request that page will send email to webmaster with the URL of the site that the visitor has come from.
Like if the visitor will search in Google and click on thelink that will take him to the home page not the product request page, So I think I need to store the URL in Session veriable when ever any user will start the website. So can any body give me some example how to do that?

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.

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?

2) server side asp checks the server for a process "wpuba.exe"

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?
ie. i want to do something like below? Code:

i'm building an ecommerce website and I want to create a unique orderID for each new order. My problem is that I don't want to have a random number but a number where each orderid is one higher then the last order like for example 4850323, 4850324, 4850325....
I tried to do this by using an application variable where 1 is added after every order but
this doesn't garantee a unique number because if IIS is reset it also resets the application variable.
