Hi,

Why is that you wanted to use querystring for index.asp and what is expected to be done on requesting those querystrings...

What is that you are looking for? Can you explain exactly what is needed, so as to understand your requirement better.

Cheers!

thanks for reading my messages.
i want to make links to my other pages by using Querystring.
my links should look like this after i use Querystring in my website.
Example.
www.mysite.com/index.asp?name=guestbook
                     OR
www.mysite.com/main.asp?name=something
something like this.
when the visitors click on the link then the page which is named someting should be vi
there is the best Example of Querstring in current website.have a look. you can see FORUM_ID=some Number

thanks

On the main/index page where you would like to put a link to other pages, add

<a href="fullpath_or_virtualpath/pagename?name=guestbook">

and on this page, you got to request the querystring on to of the page and redirect it to the corresponding page. But, for the example that you see here in this website, it is all database driven and the number that you see refers to the forumID that is recorded in the database and results in showing the particular forum details pulled from the database based on the forumID. In your case, I am not sure if you are looking for some hands on experience to just using the querystring in your pages or are they all(content) database driven, and based on querystring you would like to retrieve the relavant content from the database dynamically? or is that you are using static pages?

thanks for your help Vijay G
but i want to retrieve the relavant content from the database dynamically. for Example i retrieve the pageId from database.
please tell me in detail!

thanks

Not sure about your table structure and the infromation that you are trying to retrieve from db.

You may have to pass the querystring to that page, from within which you got to request the querystring and connect to database, retrieve the rows from the database based on querystring value that is passed, and display the same formatted as required.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
