Nested Hyperlinks

[Pluggie]

Hi there,

I have a situation that requires some knowledge about HTML (I guess)

I have a product-website with logon-functionality.
I have another website from which I want users to go to the first site and
browse a product based on a link they clicked on.

Of course I want them to click only once.

So I need a link that first opens site_1 and logs onto the
demo-user-account, and that after logghin on jumps to the product for which
they pressed the link.

This means I'm looking for some sort of nested link.

I have been able to create the two separate links that are working when
clicked on in sequence... but I don't see how to merge them.

Does anyone have an idea? Or know where to post my question so that there's
the biggest change I get a positive answer?

Thanks in advance,

Pluggie

You could use an Iframe to display the product page within the login page -
but this depends on how secure the product page is meant to be. Is a login
required for this as well as in the original site?

In any case, server side scripting (asp, php, asp.net etc) will be required
to create the link or iframe source reference to the product page, based on
the login success and actual link clicked. If the products page requires a
login, the link will have to include the login parameters as well, which
adds more complication.

Since you probably are using server side scripting for the login
- add the login validation (verifying if they are logged in) to your product site pages (if not already there)
- pass the URL of the product page as a session variable to redirect them to after they have logged in

Your sequence is backwards
- don't have them log in 1st
Have them go to the products page
- and if not logged in already
- redirect them thru the login page (and verification)
- then back to the product page they started at after a successful login
