[thelist] [ASP] cookie question

[Ken Schaefer]

I'm not sure what you mean by "your code does not work" - you just want to
redirect somewhere...

Your code snippet can be collapsed from:

 'nav=2&id=1 specifies the content for the page the cookie value redirects
to
: if request("nav") = 2 and request("id") = 1 then
: session("online") = True
: session.timeout = 60
: end if
:
: 'creating this session was how I got around the redirect loop
: if Session("online") <> True then
: homepage=request.Cookies("homepage")
: if homepage = "onlineCodes" then
: response.Redirect("index.asp?nav=2&id=1")
: end if

to

<%
If Not (Request("nav") = 2 and Request("id") = 1) then
   strHomepage=request.Cookies("homepage")

    If strHomepage = "onlineCodes" then
        Response.Redirect("index.asp?nav=2&id=1")
    End If

End If
%>

since that's all your current stuff does.

Cheers
Ken

: Thanks for replying Ken, I was beginning to think that I was the only one
that ever saw my posts.  Unfortunately because of the way the site is
structured (using a bastardized version of the FuseBox methodology that
calls all content into the index page based on querystring parameters) your
method did not work.  I have figured it out though and I thought I would
post the solution in case anyone was interested.
:
: <%
: 'home = 1 is the parameter used to set the cookie
: home = int(request("home"))
: if home = 1 then
: response.Cookies("homepage") = "onlineCodes"
: response.Cookies("homepage").expires = "01/01/04"
: end if
:
: 'nav=2&id=1 specifies the content for the page the cookie value redirects
to
: if request("nav") = 2 and request("id") = 1 then
: session("online") = True
: session.timeout = 60
: end if
:
: 'creating this session was how I got around the redirect loop
: if Session("online") <> True then
: homepage=request.Cookies("homepage")
: if homepage = "onlineCodes" then
: response.Redirect("index.asp?nav=2&id=1")
: end if
: end if
: %>

: So, thar she blows.  The page in question is at:
