I already know how to record how long it takes someone to fill out a form. The code for a form would be something like <input type="hidden" name="tmrTimeStarted" value="<%=Now()%>">. The next web page that the form submits to would show you how many seconds you spent filling out that form. The code on the next web page that retrieves this information is: tmrTotalTimeSpent = DateDiff("s", Request("tmrTimeStarted"), Now())

I'd like to know how you can write code to record how many seconds someone has spent on a page that has a certain record from a database (ex: topic.asp?ID=9). I'd like for the information to be recorded in an Access DB. I'd like for the web page to count seconds until the person leaves the certain web page with that record. Does anyone know how I can do this?

proberly the best way would be to set a Session("TimeSpent")

and then have a file thats included into all pages that works it out, adds it to the database and then either sets a new time for the new page, or you can do that on the acctuall page after the include has processed

if you would like to know which topical they was on, you could have Session("TopicID") and set it when the Session("TimeSpent") is set
