ASP Counters

**Jay=B** · Nov 14th, 2000, 08:46 PM

I have a web page that display on the left a menu bar. It has a home link on it. I want to be able to implement a smart hit counter whenever someone accesses the page but not everytime they click on the home link.

Please I need your help on this

Thanks in advance

you could put the hitcounter in an inital frame page and for the home link just reload to the frame.

Here's the sort of thing I mean:

default.asp

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
 <%option explicit%>
 <HTML>
 <%
         Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
         Dim Visitor, fso, MyFile, Data
         
         Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
         
         Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading, True)
         Data = MyFile.ReadLine
         Visitor = CInt(Data)
       
        
		MyFile.Close
        
         Visitor = Visitor + 1
         Response.Write "<script language=javascript>"& vbcrlf
        Response.Write "var count=" & Visitor & vbcrlf
		Response.Write "</script>"
         
         Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
         Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
         MyFile.Write Visitor
         MyFile.Close

 %>
  <Frameset cols="100,*">
	<frame name=left src="./left.htm">
	<frame name=main src="http://forums.vb-world.net">
</frameset>
 </HTML>

left.htm

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<script language=javascript>
function goHome()
{
parent.main.location='./jbhome.htm';
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<script language=javascript>
document.write("<h2>Visitors: " + parent.count + "</h2>")

</script>
<A href="javascript:goHome();">Home</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

jbhome.asp

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H1>Jay=B HOME</H1>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Does it need this <META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"> in it to work. If so what does that mean.

Thanks for all your help

Interdev puts that in automatically (as do nearly all M$ editors)

I usually delete it but I missed that one.

just ignore it!
