Redirect Page

**nmretd** · Nov 27th, 2000, 06:25 AM

After successful registration my users are redirected to my homepage. How can I redirect them to a successful registration page which holds for 5 seconds informing them of successfull registration and then redirects them to the homepage ?

try this:

Code:

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
setTimeout("top.location.href = 'http://www.somewhere.com/'",5000);
//--></SCRIPT>


</HEAD>
<body>
<h2>Regitration sucsesfil or whatever</h2>

Please wait ....

</body>

Heh, heh... Javascript's cool...but not always supoported or enabled...here's another way to do it:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <me*ta ht*tp-equ*iv="Ref*resh" Cont*ent="5; ur*l=http://www.mralston.co.uk">
  </head>
</html>

(Remove the asterisks (*) from the above code...I put them in there to help netscape overcome its incompetance.

)

Hey, Mark...what's 4D61726B2053726565766573 mean?

matthew

4D61726B2053726565766573 is just the ASCII for Mark Sreeves in hex.

I used to have it in binary but the spacing was all 'to pot' with a string of 1s and 0s.

how do you convert to and from hex?

Ah right...

I used to use:

11101001110001010

As a password...it was meant to be MRGI in binary if A=1=1, B=2=10, C=3=11...

MRGI was my initials, and the initials of a lad I used to work with in my crappy IT lessons at school...

Then I realised that I'd worked it out wrong and couldn't be bothered re-memorizing the correct version...besides, I thought 11101001110001010 had a nice ring to it and it was the kinda password that you could happily tell anyone who asked...I could say it quick enough that they'd never remember it.

Use the Windows Calculator in "Scientific" mode...it'll convert to and from HEX, Binary & standard numbers.

Um...I just tried Mark's lil number tho an it didn't do all of it

Use a hex/text editor instead.

ok...

**Mark Sreeves** · Nov 28th, 2000, 05:05 AM

in VB:

Code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strTemp As String
Dim strOut As String
Dim i As Integer
strTemp = "Mark Sreeves"

For i = 1 To Len(strTemp)
  strOut = strOut & Hex(Asc(Mid(strTemp, i)))
Next
Debug.Print strOut
End Sub

I always use Netscape to view VB-World because it load faster than IE5 anyway, it does strange things though.

When I refreshed this page it invoked Mathew's redirect code and I got transfered to his home page!!

Yay! Go Mozilla!!!

He he he.

Have sabotaged the code that got ya.

Upgrade to Netscape 6 Mark...it's bound have less of the bugs in 4.02 that you're using and have a few different ones instead.
