redirection

[bezeredi]

I have a page that processes some script. After it does this I want to send the user to a different page. I don't think I can use response.redirect. Does anybody know how to do this.

Why not open a new page and use a meta tag for redirecting to a page or use javascript client side for redirecting.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=mypage.asp">\

There should be no reason why you can't do a response.redirect unless you are passing information to another page. In that case you could do a response.redirect with querystrings of the information you are passing in the URL.
i.e.

Dim FirstName, LastName, Email, Password
FirstName = Request.Form("txtFirstName")
LastName = Request.Form("txtLastName")
Email = Request.Form("txtEmail")
Password = Request.Form("txtPassword")
Response.Redirect "page.asp?FirstName=" & FirstName & "&LastName=" & LastName & "&Email=" & Email & "&Password=" & Password
%>

That will take the information submitted by the form to the script and store it in querystrings to which you can use it in the next page by saying:

<%
Response.write Request.Querystring("FirstName")
%>

Hope that helps!!!

here is my code:

<%
Set objBuilder = Server.CreateObject("BuilderComponent.Start")
objBuilder.Start
Set objBuilder = Nothing
%>

<%
Response.Redirect "Results.asp"
%>

here is my error:

"The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content."

[davidgottlieb]

What are you using that object for?

[bezeredi]

The object is processing a query. I save the results in a text file on my server. I want send the user to a new page that will show the results.

[davidgottlieb]

Send me your asp file.

If any header information is printed to the page, you will get this error with REsponse.Redirect. I don't know where this header stuff is being printed (perhaps by your component). Either do not print any html whatsoever (even a blank space) and do the response.redirect:

<% 
Set objBuilder = Server.CreateObject("BuilderComponent.Start") 
objBuilder.Start 
Set objBuilder = Nothing 
Response.Redirect "Results.asp" 
%>

Or use javascript to redirect:

<script langauge="javascript">
window.navigate("Results.asp");
</script>

here it is

Here:

Server.Execute ""

I don't believe that requires HTTP headers. If it does, try Server.Transfer "".

[bezeredi]

My server doesn't support this. Maybe it is my version of asp. How can I figure out what version I'm using and how to upgrade?

[veryjonny]

First U can use response.redirect even after processing....like this:

the response.buffer = true shd be right at the top (only after @language stm).

<% response.buffer = true %>

<% 
'processing whatever 


response.redirect "towhateverpage.asp" ' here u can add querystring if u wanr 
%>

This will may sure u dont get the error :

"The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content."

Secondly server.transfer does not work with IIS 4.0 , its added only in IIS 5.0 (Win2K)

Also if u use server.transfer then u cannot pass querystrings.

I hope this solves ur q.

[bezeredi]

Thanks, I will use response.buffer. The only thing with this is that while I'm buffering my page I can't give the user any feed back. I wanted to show a message telling them to wait, because my script takes several minutes to complete.

[veryjonny]

though using response.buffer may make it appear that u page is taking a bit long to load - buy actually once it starts loading it comes faster.

also uu can show a layer from the calling page till ur next page is dispayed. though it may not be very helpful - but still
