VBScript

[Mangix]

how does one rig it so that when i make a field, the user types in lets say DotA, then it would redirect him to a page? im no real expert on HTML VBScript but here goes.

Code Select Expand

Sub i dunno which
If Field = DotA Then
Redirect somewhere
ElseIf Field = Warcraft Then
Redirect Elsewhere
Else
Redirect Elsewhere too. so how would i do this?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="X;Y">

X = delay in seconds
Y = URL

IE:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;http://www.google.com/search?q=DotA">

That's HTML, btw, so you'd use Document.Write (I guess).

I am assuming this is for asp classic and this is not a client side implementation of vbscript.

<form action="takeme.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="pagename" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<%
dim pagename
pagename=request.form("pagename")
if pagename<>"" then
      response.redirect(pagename)
end If
%>

name this file takeme.asp and then type http://google.com into your input and wahlah you are there.

ummm cant i put in a code similar to this in a .html file?

[quasi-modo]

yes... except that client side vbscript is not well supported. You should not use javascript for functional scripting, that is with 10% of the internet not supporting it. Do you know the numbers for client side vbscript? I would be willing to bet that far more than 10% of the internet does not support it. It makes no sense for anyone to use client side vbscript. That is why I figured you wanted the server side implementation.

i just want to put an almost blank page on the home of my website and it would have text saying Choose your Destination. then there would be a field below saying where to go to. and thats where i need VBScript cause i saw a site that had this ability with VBScript. i dunno how to do it in HTML cause i dunno the functions for VBScript in HTML. for Stealthbot those are easy.

The best option would be server side, like I posted above. If you want to do it client side you should do it with javascript, the support would be better. But like I said, if this is going to be something important it must be done server side, otherwise your site will fail for a certain % of your users.

You want a dropdown, or a textfield?


Also...I thought you were a "VBScript/HTML" expert?

Don't bother using VBScript. It's old, outdated, and unsupported, even when used server-side.

I would not call vbscript unsupported when used server side, but outdated yes. It's all about teh .net now.

i am an expert Stealthbot VBScript. Recognize Bitch. anyways thx. ima find some Javascript tutorial and work with that.

oh and the reason i dont know HTML VBScript is cause i dunno any of its functions. for stealthbot i know about all of them.

HOLY SHIT!, My life is now complete, i have found the most funniest, stupidest comment/post what ever, of all time.

I couldnt of made one up better if i tried.........

ROFL. you thought that was sooooooo funny that you put it in your sig lmao.

Function Laid(User)
If user = you Then document.write ('/kick ' & User)

Hmm i see, your trying to rival your other outrageously stupid post, sorry, i just dont have enought space below to qoute them all.

[quasi-modo]

Not to mention the if statement.

[Mangix]

ummmmmmmm no. quasi = WRONG. if the If statement is one line only, there is no need for End If. ask JoeTheOdd if you dont believe me. also i know i didnt end the function. i was in a hurry at the time.
