Perhaps this is a silly question (if so I apologise in advance), but I'm a low-level paper-shifter/part-time Web designer in UK Government and I've designed our Company's site.
Problem is like most Government Depts. trying to do anything involves much liasing with other Depts and much paper-shifting.
We have no Servers or Hosting capability ourselves so this part of the site is handled by (guess what?) another Government dept.
Many months ago I asked them to put a redirect on a number of older URLS for our site which were still being linked to by a large number of other sites.
I was reliably informed this had been done and checked the URLS and all seemed okay.
However I have just recently done a search for our site on AltaVista and the top hit is a subdirectory of the old URL with no re-direct seemingly in existence.
Question is if you put a redirect on a particular URL will it/should it always also include the subdirectories within that URL?
I have a javascript that I found for an iphone style menu. It works and allows me to click through the menu as long as it is within the list system. If I try to create an external link to a webpage. It doesn't load anything. Here is the code let me know if anyone knows the trick so I can link out. Below is the javascript used to create the flowing menu system. Let me know if you need the rest of the .css and html.
(function() { var animateX = -20; var animateInterval = 24; var currentPage = null; var currentDialog = null; var currentWidth = 0; var currentHash = location.hash; var hashPrefix = "#_"; var pageHistory = []; [Code]...
I am trying to use the onunload event to know when the user closes a popup by receiving a request on the web server.
I have a main page from where the user opens a popup. What I want is when the user closes the popup, it sends a request to my web server (GoAhead) using the onunload event, then closes the popup.
For the moment, this what i have: when the user closes the popup, I use the onunload event to open a different popup (by this way, I get a request on the web server and I know that the user closes the first popup), then, this new popup closes itself with the onload event. It is working but having this second popup opening and closing is not very neat.
If I try to change the location of the first popup in the onunload event: onunload="document.location='....'", it doesn't send a request to the web server when the user closes the popup.
Is there a way to send a request to the webserver when the user closes the popup without the need to have an extra popup opened and closed ?
The web server I am using is working on a pseudo "cgi" mode called "goforms", it avoids to create a different process for each request. With "goforms", each request is handled by a unique process which is always running.
I hava a snippet below. This code will redirect my current web page to http://www.xyz.com . . . But I want to specify the number of seconds before it is redirected. May I know how to do this? (As much as possible, meta tags should not be used.)
I tried redirecting in the onLoad event of the form but doesn't work. I suppose it redirects as soon as the activeX is loaded and not when it has finished its download.
I have a form in which i have a dropdown list and a submit button. I want to code so that when users select the value from the dropdown list, it should redirect then to the specified page. For instance i have the value, "car", "House" and "pets" in my dropdown listbox, if a use click on "car" it should redirect them to the car page. I have done the following code, but something seems not to work :(
And in the submit button am calling the function move()
My form name is sell and the dropdown list menu is cat.
I have data pages in my e-commerce site (from 1999) that are imbedded in a parent page using the object tag. I have started to include a little JS snippet that is intended to redirect to the parent if the embedded pages are loaded separately:
This works fine in Firefox, but in IE 7 and 8 it gets into an infinite loop of reloading the parent page into the object frame.Here is a sample:http://www.greathallminis.com/Ancient_15mm/darkages_anc15_mm.htm(I've left this page with the issue, while I have excluded the script for IE elsewhere.)
I'm trying to redirect away from a page using AJAX, and I'm having a tough time figuring out how to do it properly. From what I understand, an AJAX request thinks it's done when a script echoes something, so this is what I have, for the script run behind the scenes and the HTML with AJAX:
PHP: <?php Some code
[code]....
I think what's happening here is that the Location header in the PHP is overwriting the echo, since I'm calling the Run.php script twice, so the AJAX request never knows it's ready. This also means, I think, that I'm missing something fundamental about how AJAX works, and I'm doing the redirection wrong
I wonder if someone knows where I can find a snippet of code or if someone has something available real handy.
I have been authorized to sell a company's products. I am offering them to my own affiliates. I do not want them to by-pass me and go to the source as this is a trial and the company only wants to deal with one person right now. They are not sure if they want to do this long-term and set up a program./
So I need to take the code they supply and have it redirect to my URL and append or add the affiliate's ID on the end. That way, the affiliate or whoever would only see my URL.
Is this possible and can someone point me in the right direction. I may be mistaken but I think a line of javascript or php might do the trick.
Is there a bit of javascript i can use to redirect the user back to the index page if the page they typed in does not exist? (hosted on windows server)
eg:- if the address typed in is; www.somewhere.co.uk/cheese.htm; and ...cheese.htm does not exist it then goes back to the index page
I have a page that opens up a popup window after clicking a button. I want to test if the parent/previous page is a certain page when the popup window loads and if it is not then I don't want the popup window to open. I also want the page to redirect if a person just puts the popwindow address into their browser. I am working with asp.net vb and I am told javascript is the best way to do this. I know enough to open the popup window using javascript and that is about it.
I have some pages with urls like link.php?linkid=4 for example. This is a framed page that has the top frame url topframe.php?linkid=4 , and the bottom page fetched from elsewhere.
The problem I have is that at the moment (slowly getting better) Google has mainly indexed the topframe.php urls, not the link.php ones, so anyone clicking on the result just gets the top frame, which is useless on its own.
Does anyone know of, or could help me write (given I'm useless at javascript) a script that I could place in topframe.phpid=x, which would redirect to link.php?id=x if it is not opened as part of a frameset?
Working on the basis that MOST Internet users to visit the site I have built, have IE6 or later, I would like to add a browser-detect capability that ONLY focuses on IE6 and sends the user straight away to the alternative page. If using a browser older than IE6 neither the real page, nor the alternative, will work anyway, so it doesn't matter which one fails for them. I've lost my Javascript book (shoot me in the head!) and trying to find browser detect code online, I keep finding massive reams of code where the intention is to detect exactly which browser is being used. I'm not bothered, unless its IE6.
The site works fine in Opera, Firefox and IE8, I had to tweak it slightly to work fine in IE7, but for IE6 it would completely ruin the feel of the site for everyone else if I were to tweak the main site. So, please if someone could paste the code that would say "If user's browser is IE6, then auto-redirect to this page",
I'm having issues at the minute finding a solution to a cross domain access using the XmlHttpRequest object.
We have a site sitting on server1 whilst we have an application providing data to that site via server2 sitting on a different address. A potential solution is that when a page request is requested from server1 on address www.server1.com we can redirect the user via a HTTP 302 response to server2 for the information.
Does this still classify as cross domain access and hence the XmlHttpRequest will not work until browsers have the lowest level of security set ?? Or will this solution work fine ?
I have a page that is iframed in facebook, like most apps or fanpages. I want to make it where if someone lands on the app page, they are directed to my fanpage. So if the top(parent?) window = http://apps.facebook.com/myapp then redirect to [URL] I also have needed this for a few other things and unable to make it work.
I have a series of pages which make up a questionnaire. It's all done in PHP and I'd like to have two submit buttons (well, images really) so that one submits the form and takes them to the next page, the other submits the form and takes them to the previous page.
The redirect value is set using PHP so I'd like some Javascript to set that variable, then submit the form so that I can accomplish this requirement.
Is this possible? I know Javascript can submit a form, and also can send a variable to a PHP script, but I'm not sure how to do this combination.
I am trying to get a form to work with validating a checkbox. It validates the checkbox ok, but it always redirects, even if the box isn't checked...it does alert, but I was hoping that it would stay on the current page and not redirect unless the box IS checked. I really can't see what I did wrong. Code:
Our client has asked that we things up so that the user must fill out a short form with some basic information if they want to access a number of PDFs on their website, once per session (please don't ask me why). Submitting the form sets a session cookie.
Specifically, if the user clicks on "example.pdf," I'd like to have one of two things happen:
1) If the session cookie is set, the PDF is accessed transparently.
2) If the session cookie is not set, the user is sent to the info form, and on submission is either (a) passed through to the PDF they clicked the link for, or (b)at least is sent back to the original page where the link resides so they can select it again. My initial thought for the latter case was to have the form open in a new window, then have a close button on the subsequent confirmation page so the original page is still open in the background.
Is there a way to make a javascript post request to MyPage.aspx, set a variable on MyPage.aspx, then do a javascript redirect to MyPage.aspx and still sustain the value of the variable posted to the page in the first place? As of now i'm successfully posting to my aspx page, and successfully redirecting as well, but i have been unsuccessful with sustaining that variable. I've tried using ViewState as well as Session, neither seem to work exactly how i'd like.
Essencially, I'm trying to send a post request as well as redirect to the same page Code:
I have a javascript countdown timer. It goes for a few hours. At the end, I want to dispaly "times up", wait 10 more seconds, and then redirect to another page. Is there a javascript way to do this, and would it work going back to IE4 and NN4.5?
The script below allows me to link to a file and as the user clicks to download, the 'File Download' windows appears as normal, and the user can download...
The original page is then redirected to a new page.. This works, but it also opens a blank page..
How can this be chaged to stop the blank page from opening... ?
