BeTheBall Posts: 6336 Joined: 6/21/2002 From: West Point Utah USA Status: offline	HTTP Referrer - 8/29/2003 16:37:37 Can I use the http referrer to prevent users from accessing a certain page without clicking a link on another page? In other words, I have two pages, Page1 and Page2. I don't want anyone to access Page1 w/o going through Page2. I am guessing I can write code that will allow access if the referring page is Page1 and redirect if not, just not sure of the syntax.

Set up a link from the "required page" to the other, and pass a string value... <a href="page2.asp?foo=yes">Click here</a> ... then at the top of page2.asp... <% response.buffer=true if request.querystring("foo")<>"yes" then response.redirect ("page1.asp") else end if %> Now, in order to visit page2.asp, you have to be coming from the link on page1.asp... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
