Response Object - Redirects

The response object can be used to decide what page to send a user to next. Specifically the response.redirect method will work in that capacity. We have made a script formjump.asp that takes advantage of this.

   filename=/learn/test/formjump.asp

<Test Script Below>


<html><head>
<TITLE>FormJump.asp</TITLE>
</head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="FormJumpRespond.asp" method="get">
<SELECT NAME="wheretogo">
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="fun">Fun</OPTION>
<OPTION value="news">Daily News</OPTION>
<OPTION value="docs">ASP IIS3 Roadmap/Docs</OPTION>
<OPTION value="main">MainPage of ActiveServerPages.com</OPTION>
<OPTION value="sample">IIS 3 Sample ASP scripts</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<input type=submit value="Choose Destination">
</form>
</body></html>

The responder that reacts to this form is:

   filename=/learn/test/formjumprespond.asp

<Test Script Below>


<%response.buffer=true%>
<html><head>
<title>formjumprespond.asp</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<%
' My ASP program that redirects to URL
thisURL="http://www.activeserverpages.com"
where=Request.QueryString("Wheretogo")
Select Case where
case "main"
   response.redirect thisURL & "/"
case "samples"
   response.redirect thisURL & "/aspsamp/samples/samples.htm"
case "docs"
   response.redirect thisURL & "/iasdocs/aspdocs/roadmap.asp"
case "news"
   response.redirect "http://www.cnn.com"
case "fun"
   response.redirect "http://www.dilbert.com"
End Select
response.write "All dressed up and I don't know where to go<br>"
response.write "I recommend --> " & "<br>"
response.write server.htmlencode(thisURL & "/learn/test/res2.asp?where=fun") & "<br>"
response.write "for a good laugh!" & "<P>"
%>
</body></html>
There are many worthy charities!!. But perhaps help starving children in Africa or South America AND help Charles too. a $5 tip buys him lunch at McDonalds, a $20 tip buys his kid Hitoshi a new computer game, a $39 tip buys his daughter Michiko a few nice outfits. See our donor list.
