For an
application I design I need to convert an url like
http://www.mypage.com/an_item to be redirected to an asp page. That is,
if someone is typing the url http://www.mypage.com/an_item, instead of
a 404, to be redirected to
http://www.mypage.com/the_page_Im_actualy_looking_for.as p. I have no
clues what "an item" might be, but it exists and it is grabbed from a
database. The closest analogy is with an online store, where if someone
is typing www.mystore.com/laps it would be redirected to a page like
http://www.mypage.com/item_family.asp?item=lamps, which grabs and
display all the items thar are listed in this category. ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |

You might try something like this.... Using this, you can do just about anything you want using a 404 page. URL = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") URLname = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") if instr(1,URL,"404;http://") > 0 then 'Error Page True ErrorPage = true URL = replace(replace(URL,"404;http://",""),"_"," ") if not mid(URL,len(URL)-1) = "/" then URL = URL + "/" end if URLPart = split(URL,"/") if ubound(URLPart) > 1 then vdir = lcase(URLPart(1)) end if end if IF left(lcase(vdir),5) = "products" THEN response.status = "200 OK" productID = replace(vdir, "products", "") response.redirect("wherever you want to redirect") '////////////////////////////////////// You could also do a moved permenantly 'Response.Status="301 moved Permanently" 'Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.example.com/" '////////////////////////////////////// ELSE %><!--#include file="getTheProductsFromTheDB.asp" --><% END IF |

think alike  .The entire article is http://home.openhosting.co.uk/article.asp?id=28 - here . ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |
