asp_web_howto thread: Cookie help
Message #1 by "Andy Ness" <aness@e...> on Wed, 29 Aug 2001 15:35:26 -0700

Hi,
I'm editing an ASP based survey page, and I'd like to add a cookie so that
it will only allow voting once per session per user. On submission of the
survey, it is supposed to run this subroutine:
<%Sub CountVote_OnSubmit
CheckCookie=Request.Cookies.Item("survey")
if CheckCookie <> "" then
MsgBox("Please Vote Once Only")
Response.Redirect "/support/incidentgrid.asp"
else
Response.Cookies("survey")="survey"
end if
End Sub%>
So it checks if a cookie is there, if so it's supposed to redirect away from
the survey to the main page. Otherwise it sets the cookie and moves on,
which will prevent the user from voting again in the same session. What
happens in reality is that the user can click on submit as often as they
like and it does not block or redirect. Is the code correct? If so, maybe
I'm not calling the subroutine correctly on submission? Thanks in advance!

HI,
We cant have a msgbox on the server side
script firstly.
Then redirecting to the voting page will not be a problem.
if u remove the msgbox it should be fine

Try this:
<%Sub CountVote_OnSubmit
> CheckCookie=Request.Cookies.Item("survey")
> if CheckCookie <> "" then
> Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script language=VBScript" & vbCrLf)
Response.Write("msgbox " & chr(34) & "Please Vote Once Only" & chr(34)
& vbCrLf)
Response.Write("location.href=" & chr(34) & "/support/incidentgrid.asp
" & chr(34) & vbCrLf)
Response.Write("</script>" & vbCrLf)
> else
> Response.Cookies("survey")="survey"
> end if
> End Sub%>
