I want to be able to return to a search results page without having to reload the page after having followed a link from one of the results. Would a search results pages generated by asp be cached, and is it possible to direct the browser to load quickly from the cach rather than slowly from the server.
View RepliesThis 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.
Is there a way to disallow a page from being cached? I'm about to
introduce functionality that will not work properly if the person uses
the 'BACK' button on their browser and would like to ensure that they
cannot. I tried using <% response.expires = -1 %> thinking that it would
work, however it only ensures that another request has to be sent to the
server. Any ideas other than simply giving the user a message NOT to
use the back button?
Here's a link to the functionality. It uses session variables to produce
a dynamic rate quote. (Tip use WDW in the Description/Keyword search).
I have a page requesting content from another via XMLHTTP object. The returned page is returning cached data and I can't get it to stop.
I'm running IIS on a Win2k Server. I've done nothing to setup page caching, etc.
I have three asp pages. The initial page is login.asp, it goes to page hello.asp. And hello.asp goes to page another.asp. If it goes back from hello.asp to login.asp, then in Internet Explorer, clicking on Back, the cache of the page hello.asp has been removed, which is the effect that I want.
If it goes back from another.asp to login.asp, and then in Internet Explorer, clicking on Back, the page another.asp still remains. Code:

I am trying to retrieve the page name. I know this is possible using Server Variable PATH_INFO. The problem I am having though is that when I get to a page in one of my subdirectories the subdirectory name is displayed.
Example: my page index.asp is in the the admin directory so the PATH_INFO displays as /admin/index.asp. How can I strip the page name out so I get index.asp. I cannot use the function Right() since the page name could be any length.
I would like to retrieve a remote URL using the XMLHTTP object. However, I only want to "display" a certain portion of the page. How can I go about doing this?
View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP page that sits and listens for responses sent to it by a third party. The third party simply sends a plain text delimited response in the body of the http message.
Eg: Account=2,User=92663,Pass=OK,Action=5
What I can't figure out on my listening page, is how to capture the body of the message being posted to it, so that i can then manipulate the delimited string, and split it up into the variables for later use.
How do i get access to the body of the http page? I thought perhaps using WinHTTP, but it looks like it only works when your page goes looking for a web page, and not when a page is being submitted to it, like in this case.

View Replies View RelatedWe encountered a very strange problem. We host a web site:
www.[our_site].com and a large number of our users belong to an
organization group with central network control and they can only
access our web site through two headquarter proxy servers: x.x.a.7 and
x.x.b.8, which was set in security dept of the group headquarter. The
web site was working fine till recently when those user accessing via
x.x.a.7 all have problem suddently while those accessing via x.x.b.8
have no problem. The users accessing via x.x.a.7 are directed to wrong
page, very slow response, hang on some page or encounter errors, etc.
If they access the same site via another alias, like
www2.[our_site].com which points to the same web server, they will not
have any problem. They do not have problem to access any other web
sites we tried, including our other web sites hosting in the same site,
even the same server. If the users change their ie setting to use other
public proxy server, they will have no problem to access our site.
Strict security policy are applied to the user site, so we cannot ping,
tracert or do any other network testing from user machine. Since user
has no problem to access any other web site, the headquarter security
department wont handle our case and simply think it is our problem.
I have recently changed web hosts, and am suddenly having the problem that IE is displaying cached ASP pages, i.e. displaying data base query results from the first assembly of the asp page. Surely this contravenes the whole principleof ASP as a dynamically generated page. I didnt get the problem with my previous host.
What am I to do about this? If it is browser dependent, how can I be sure that all users have their browsers set correctly. If it is a host problem, it would be good to have some idea what the problem is before contacting them. Or is there something I can do within my asp page to ensure that the current page is the one displayed by the browser?
I am running an ASP file that returns image buttons back to the client. The download on the client side is slow (about 19 small images on the page). I am running on Windows XP SP1 behind ISA server, and the request is coming from an outside IP.
The same application on an NT 4.0 Server works fine. The download time is maybe 3 seconds, versus about 20 seconds for the same exact images. It is behind the same ISA Server.
I searched the forum and got the following code from someone who posted it in 2002. However I can't seem to get it to work in my asp page. Can someone confirm the syntax for me? I would like to try and put it in an include file rather, but need to get it to work first.
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #1/1/1980#
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "no-store, must-revalidate, private"
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
Response.Buffer = True

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?
When a new record is inserted into access db it creates an id, how can I return this value for a record I have just created?

I am trying to get a field populated in an oracle database with a time stamp of when a form is submitted.
I have found out that there is a table in Oracle called DUAL which holds the current date and time. At present i can populate the date when the form is submitted using objrs('sub_date')=date() but when i query the database the time element of the field sub_date, the time displayed is 00:00 which is the default time.
So can anyone give me any help in how i can capture the time. I know about select to_char(sub_date,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') which will bring up the time but i can seem to populate the field sub_date with the time.

I'm writing a vbscript application that reads UTF-8 XML containing Chinese
characters and stores the data in MySql 4.0.x.
Does anybody have any experience in this area with regarding codepage and
character sets? Ideally I want the scripts to be able to handle Standard
European characters and Chinese characters as well.
Are there any special considerations for using MySql/ODBC and ADO to get and
put the data.

I have an .ASP page that comes up, and I am trying retrieve a variable from
the previous .ASP page. However none of the variables from the previous .ASP
page are available to the current .ASP page. There are three pages in this
chain.
1. NewUser.html
Information is input in this page, and posted to the next page using this
tag <form method="post" action="newUser_response.asp">.
2. NewUser_response.asp
Information is retrieved from the previous page using the
<%=request.form("strADLocation") %tag, and then posted to the next page
using the <form method="post" action="newUser.asp" This page is basically
just a confirmation page, and just displays the information from the
previous page, and sends it to the next page.
3. NewUser.asp
This page is supposed to retrieve all of the variables from the previous
..asp page using this syntax strADLocation = request.form("strADLocation"),
and create a user account, but none of the variables are available to the
script portion of this page from the previous .asp page
I had a similar problem when I was trying to make variables available to a
..asp page from a .html page, and later found out that I had to re-declare
the variables in the second page which was an .asp page using this syntax
strADLocation = request.form("strADLocation"). Everything worked great at
this point(HTML to .ASP). The problem I am having is that I added an
additional .ASP page(NewUser_response.asp) in the middle, and I can't seem
to retrieve the variables from the previous .asp page. Now the chain is HTML
to .ASP to .ASP. If Code:
