repsponse.redirect problem

skipinator · June 8th, 2003, 09:06 AM

I have some really weird things going on.

First here's my code:

<% Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp" %>

Yep that's it.

This code is in the page root/admin/index.asp

If I try to browse to root/admin/index.asp, the browser just sits there forever and my dial-up connection shows that a ton of activity is going on (sending and receiving) but it never loads the page. If I remove that code, it loads the page no problem.

Next if I try to browse to just root/admin, the redirect sort of works, but it redirects it to the root directory, not the root/admin directory.

Of course as a programmer, I think that it may be a server problem or something. I am on an IIS server if that makes any difference. Any ideas as to what the heck is wrong?

Thanks!

Ray-

A redirect will only work if nothing else was written out to the browser.

Are you sending data to the page first and then doing a response.redirect? If so you need to set Response.Buffer = True and then Response.Flush when your ready for everything to happen.

This is the code for my entire page.

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Empty test page</title>
</head>

<body>

<% Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp" %>

</body>

</html>

Get rid of all the HTML markup. The only thing that should be on the page is the

Code:

<% Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp" %>

None of the <BODY> and other HTML markup. That's all stuff that gets sent to the browser before the redirect, and therefore the browser doesn't know how to handle it.
