A simple one....

Hi all,


I'm stock trying to request a frame name with vbScript to get the servervariable("http_referer") in the second frame by clicking in the menu which is in the first frame.

I know that this is not the place for this question but I've been looking and i'm really desperate.

thanks!

Make sure the link in the menu frame obtains the referrer variable and passes that in a call to load the target frame (second frame). The link in the menu should be something like

<a href='pagetoload.asp?strref=referrer' target="second_frame_name">Menu Text</a>

, where strRef is the value of the referrer and second_frame_name is the name of the target frame.

The pagetoload.asp script must then make sure to examine the parameters passed to it. For example:

<%
' pagetoload.asp file
 
' Find the value of the strRef (referrer), if any given.
strRef = Request("strref")
 
' Now set up a template string.
If Trim(strRef) <> "" Then
    strOutput = "You came from <b>%ref%</b>."
Else
    strOutput = "You came from nowhere."
End If
 
' Here we replace the %ref% placeholder 
' with the real referrer.
strOutput = Replace(strOutput, "%ref%", strRef)
 
' If you want to out put the text:
Response.Write strOutput
%>

Hope this helps ya. (I am not a lean-mean ASP-coder, but I think this code would work).
