logon pages - still

[melissa]

http://melissarawlings.co

I don't think I got an answer on this - then the service went down...anyone got any advice

Go to View your pictures link on home page. Go to Password-protected page. Logon as 'testuser' - the password is 'password

I can't figure out what my problem is once you hit logon, it is supposed to redirect to a page saying you are logged on as testuser...once you get the error page, you can hit back a couple times and there it is sometimes. I am not knowledgeable in code writing, can someone help me out?

The redirected page sets the session variable? If so, you need to check the
user and set the session("loggedin") value (or whatever you are using) and
then the other page should show you are logged in. You cannot check a
session variable, in ASP, right after it is set. Session variables go into
the server cookie and are not retrievable until the next hit (where the
cookie is read by the server).

This is a wild guess, but very common with ASP.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if you do this....

<%
Session("val") = "val"
Response.Write len(Session("val"))
%>

"3" is written to the browser.

Hi Melissa

Very nice looking site.

Think I see what's wrong here - I click View Pictures then Password
Protected Page Logon and then get a missing url error. If I then type the
url http://melissarawlings.com/logon/ it correctly says logged on as
testuser. So your logon system is obviously working.

On logon.asp you should have some code like this
<%
response.redirect "/logon/default.asp"
%>

This would redirect after the user has logged on. I think in your code you
have response.redirect but you're missing the url - look through your
logon.asp code for the words response.redirect and replace it with
response.redirect "/logon/default.asp". If that doesn't work for you we'll
need to see the code itself so copy and paste it into a message

I will try that tonight. Thanks a lot for the help

Apologies. I often make assumptions based on the work being done. From what
you have started, I assumed you knew a bit more about the programming side
(backhanded complement). If Spivey's recommendation does not solve the
problem, post again and we can work you through some additional steps.

Thanks for the advice, though I have no idea what all that means. I am new

to web design and do not know code, I just copied a template from microsoft
for a logon site. It contained 4 pages and had all the code pre-written.
