hi all, 

i'm having a problem with using response.redirect back to the same page.... 

on my server i have buffer asp turned off. 

the first access to the page is http://academic.udayton.edu/front/search.htm

(the link to click is "other"). that goes to

http://academic.udayton.edu/front/list.asp?school=OTHER which generates dynamic

code.... i know when school is other that there will only be one department so

i am trying to have the page reload or go to

http://academic.udayton.edu/front/list.asp?deptcode=NA&school=OTHER

automatically when a user selects the "other" link.



if (school <> "OTHER") then

  //list departments

  do until rs1.EOF

    //rs1 is the recordset from the sql database

    Response.Write("<a href='"&Application("serverURL"))

    Response.Write("front/list.asp?deptcode=" &

rs1.Fields(application("deptcode")).value)

    Response.Write("&"&Application("school")&"=" & school & "'>")

    Response.Write(rs1.Fields(application("deptname")).value&"</a> ")

    Response.Write("<br> ")

    rs1.MoveNext

  loop

elseif Right(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),10) = "search.htm" then

  //autolist the people if school = OTHER

  response.redirect("list.asp?deptcode=NA&school=OTHER")

end if



if i try it this way the page comes back with the error: 

"Response object error 'ASP 0156 : 80004005' 

Header Error 

/front/list.asp, line 126 

The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header

modifications must be made before writing page content."

and if i try it with response.buffer=true at the top of the page then the page

seems to be stuck calling itself and never writes out anything for obvious

reasons..... i tried using response.end but i don't fully understand how to

utilize it.



i'm doing something wrong but am not sure how to correct it. if anyone can help

i'd appreciate it a lot! this isn't a major bug but it's annoying me....

thanks

brian

rewrite your code so that you do not send any HTML before you issue the

Response.Redirect

ie *test* for the redirect conditions *first*, then send any HTML if you are

not redirecting
