Thanks for the links Michael. No, there is no querystring variable. I was under the impression that you could pick up the referring page (the missing page that generates the 404) from a java variable?

I don't think it'll work because it's not a redirect. You can try it. That'd be document.referrer, using JavaScript. At least, I think that's right. I know ASP calls it HttpReferer (only one "r"). Who knows why they're different. You can try this, but I'm pretty sure it won't work. What happens is IIS looks for the file before sending the request to the page. If it's not there, then it checks to see how 404 messages should be handled. Not having the invalid URL makes it pretty much pointless, as far as I know.
Well, I guess there's only one last hope (assuming the JavaScript referrer doesn't work): does your URL change when you get redirected to the 404 page? If not, then that's your saving grace. Just grab the window.location.href property. I'm assuming it does change, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Michael: You're a genuis - a millions thanks for your help.
This works and does just what I want:
<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
var lostPage = window.location.href;<br />
window.location = "http://www.xxxxxx.com/pnf.aspx?lost=" + lostPage;<br />
</script><br />
Once I'm at the aspx page it becomes much easier to process and redirect the error.
Thanks again!!

I'm trying to improve on this and also get the page which had the link to the missing page. I'm trying to use the history object:
document.write("window.history.length=" + window.history.length + "<br/><br/>");
etc...
Problem is I can't work out how to access element n out of the history array. I tried window.history[1] etc. but that doesn't work and the w3 schools doesn't seem to have any more info on it.
Anybody know the syntax for this?

Due to privacy issues, you cannot see the history. The only way to access this is to use the window.history.back() method. Yeah, it kind of sucks, but think about what it would mean if sites could see where you've been.

That makes sense. But I was under the impression that you could at least get to the page that linked to this one. Otherwise your log files wouldn't be able to tell you where your referrals came from right?

Did you try document.referrer?

I thought I had tried document.referrer last week and couldn't get it to work but just tried it again now and it seems to work okay. Thanks again!! Problem solved and a solution found thanks to all your help

Not a problem. Note that you won't get a referring page if you go directly to the page. That only exists if you click a link to browse to a page.

By the way, I was kind of wrong. You should set window.location.href, not just windows.location. It's been a while :-P I think it might work either way in IE, but specifying the href property is the correct way.

Any ideas about the history object?

Are you using ASP or ASP.NET? Either way, you'll have to create a web request on the back end to grab the file from the file server. Then, you'll have to change your content type and output the file as the response. The user will get an open/save dialog and go from there.

Thank for your advise. Can I grab file with FTP to webserver and how can i do it with "ASP".
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you can do it. The only problem that I see would be to pass user credentials. If you don't have any, then it should (theoretically) be the same as any other "screen-scrape"-style request. If it does require authentication, you'll have to check Google for a script.

I have a link that re-directs me to a new page.
click here link redirects to page1.asp?id=19 how can I password protect the
page1.asp?id=19 page?
|
|
|
|

Whenever you want to password protect a page, just put a condition at the begining of that page.
Save all the usernames and passwords in a database (say in a table called 'visitors'). Each time a user logs in check if the passwords he enters (you can also use a cookie) matches the one in your database.
If it does just use a flag in his session that enables him to get in the site. Else, just redirect him to a page saying "wrong password".
<br />
if session("access") = "no" then<br />
response.redirect "access_denied.asp"<br />

if you want to open any page dynamically, create a function in javascript with page name as parameter.

use query strings:
<br />
window.open("pagename.aspx?id=yourid",null,<br />
"height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");<br />

Hello Dears,
I have written a code to insert record in to DB(SQL SERVER), Its working fine.
The problem is - some time the records are getting duplicates,
How to avoid this kind of problem?
Why such a kind of problem cause?

in case you are implementing a postback event handler and your insertion code is present in the handler, then when you refresh the page immediately after you have made a postback for insertion , the same process will occur again, causing the isnertion code to be invoked. There are lot of ways to get around the problem, some are
1.In your commit handler, check whether it is a refresh or a genuine commit.
2.Implement the insertion in a stored proc where you can place checks to see if the data exists

The most probable reason for this is that the code actually is executed twice. This can be from users double clicking the submit button, or from an error in your code.
