HOW TO BUILD A REDIRECTING PAGE?

I have login page that will bring the user to my default.asp page

login.asp--->default.asp

Instead of this flow, i want this flow:

login.asp-->welcome.asp-->default.asp

the welcome .asp page will be displays to the user (in 5 second) before the page redirect to the default.asp page

well you can easily do a META refresh...

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="4;url=default.asp">

That code will redirect after 4 seconds...

or you can do this...

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content=="5;url=default.asp">

That'll give ya 5 seconds ...

Court Jester, your example wont work dude...

you're right there smokie

yes... two equals signs... also... for compliance with XHTML, you would need to end the tag with />

wow no one said this to Sirkent... Hrmmm Wonder why...

I believe that what you're looking for is a page that takes advantage of the setTimeout meta tag. The following would be in welcome.asp. Notice that you don't need any asp code for this.

<span style="color:red"><head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=default.asp%>">
</head></span id="red">

or you can accomplish the same thing using a javascript function, but for compatibility i'd stick to the meta tag.

<span style="color:red"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

function doredirect() {
window.location.href='default.asp%>';
}

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('doredirect()',5000)">
</body></span id="red">

If you wanted the welcome page to finish displaying before the 5 second period kicks off, you can put the meta tag at the end of your document. It does not need to be in the <span style="color:red"><head></span id="red"> section of your page.

Hope that helps.

rofl, didn't even see the other replies. What a numpty :razz:

Smokie · #12 Aug 18th, 2004, 15:14

kinjiro, why didnt you see the other replies? because of the banner ad?

courtjester · #13 Aug 18th, 2004, 18:52

It happens to the best of us... lol... But yes those banner ads are in a terribbly anoying spot.

well thanx all....
so, just a thought,
whats the different between metatag and javascript(redirecting page...)

which one is better?

benbacardi · #15 Aug 19th, 2004, 06:49

meta tag because not everybody has javascript enabled...

You can also use a server-side language to redirect which uses the browser headers, can't you? Surely that would be the best method all round, or am I really complicated issues?

Smokie · #17 Aug 19th, 2004, 08:36

You are right Sirkent, but monie wanted a time delay of 5 seconds which is not possible with an ASP server side solution.

courtjester · #18 Aug 19th, 2004, 09:13

actually you can build one using asp scripting, but the only way I know how to do it is very lengthy in coding.

lol, c'mon then, lets see it!
