Slight end of script problem

a.jenery · #1 Apr 19th, 2006, 10:59

At the end of a particular ASP script I'm working on, I have the following:

[ <a href="http://www.pagename.???">Back to home page</a>
</body>
</html> ].

Basically, this displays the anchor tag "Back to home page" on a blank background after presing the 'Submit' button in a HTM form, and subsequently clicking on this takes you to the destination page (href="http..... ).

This is OK in itself, but far from ideal and it doesn't look very good.

Basically, is there a way of directing visitors directly to a destination page (that would display a 'thank you' message) without them first having to click on an anchor link?

Try:-

Code: Select all

<%
Response.write "thankyou for your submission<br /><br />"
Response.write "Please wait whilst we transfer you...<br /><br /><br />"
Response.write "If you are not transferred, please <a href=""your url here"">click here</a>"
Response.redirect "http://www.yoururl.com/yourpage.htm"
%>

Many thanks - that looks like it will work (though I don't really have a clue with my limited ASP knowledge...). I'll try it.

This is what was displayed on the screen after pressing the 'Submit' button.

Response.write "thankyou for your submission
" Response.write "Please wait whilst we transfer you...
" Response.write "If you are not transferred, please click here" Response.redirect "http://www....."

What I ment was, how can I redirect a visitor to a target/destination page without them having to click on an anchor tag?

you forgot to open and close the ASP tags....lol

I amended the code above.

Many thanks. The ASP script is:

[ <%@ Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim iMsg
Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Dim iConf
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Dim Flds
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
Flds( "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpickupdirectory") = "c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup" '<-----xxx this path needs to point to the right place on the server. The hosts will know what it should say. Most probably, it will stay the same.
Flds.Update

Set iMsg.Configuration = iConf
iMsg.To = "v_post2001@hotmail.com" '<----xxx Andy, change this to the email address you want the form to be sent to
iMsg.From = Request.Form.Item("email")
iMsg.Subject = "SND Article Submission"
iMsg.AddAttachment Request.Form.Item("file"), Request.Form.Item("file")
iMsg.TextBody = "LastName: " & Request.Form.Item("LastName") & vbCrLf & "Initial: " & Request.Form.Item("Initial") & vbCrLf & "Location: " & Request.Form.Item("Location") & vbCrLf & "email: " & Request.Form.Item("email")
iMsg.Send
%>
<a href="http://www.....">Back to home page</a>
</body>
</html> ]

So, do I replace

%>
<a href="http://www.....">Back to home page</a>

with

<%
Response.write "thankyou for your submission "
Response.write "Please wait whilst we transfer you... "
Response.write "If you are not transferred, please <a href="http://www...">click here</a>"
Response.redirect "http://www..../yourpage.htm"
%>
