it is what was created for the dynamic redirect, it looked at the recordset and called the entry from the field in the database that had the link in.

and yes i have learnt alot, i understand ASP, linking to databases, calling data etc alot better than i did and thats all thanks to people on here

oh its a database value do this:
sJavaScript = sJavaScript & "parent.frames['first'].location.href='" & rec(redirect) & "';"

thanks, i knew it would appear somewhere!

slightly off topic i think but am i wise to stay away from allowing dreamweaver to setup the webserver link and then using the code it creates for the authentication?

neil

Umm that is a question for Imar as I know nothing about dreamweaver. Post in one of the Dreamweaver forums and he is bound to see it.

right, i thought it may be reaching a bit - i have a VBScript runtime type mismatch error pointing to the line of code you gave above, the only change i made was from

sJavaScript = sJavaScript & "parent.frames['first'].location.href='" & rec(redirect) & "';"


to:

sJavaScript = sJavaScript & "parent.location.href='" & rec(redirect) & "';"

is this really the issue or like some error messages, it means there is an error in the line above?

Does this line:
sJavaScript = sJavaScript & "parent.frames['first'].location.href='" & rec(redirect) & "';"

get interpeted correctly or does it throw an error as well?

If that is the case, it may have to do with the rec(redirect) (which probably should be rec("redirect") if redirect is the name of a column in your recordset).

In any case, if both lines are throwing the error, make sure you have opened your recordset correctly else what you are literally trying to do is append a recordset object to a string which is a illegal.

it only says line 6(line above) but i know from previous VB debugging it can mean the line above the one mentioned.

i havent changed any other code, i have added what is on page 1, updated the above line of code and implemented accordingly, the error is only on line 6 and i did add the "" around the redirect but no change.

does java accept rec("redirect") as i am lead to think it is VB code which would then be embedded in JS and something might not like that?

what happens is that the VBScript interperter evaluates that line of code before its wrote back to the client so while it may be

sJavaScript = sJavaScript & "parent.frames['first'].location.href='" & rec(redirect) & "';"

in code, it will get sent to the browser as this:

"parent.frames['first'].location.href='redirect.asp';"

right so how could i get around that? even with rec("redirect") will it read it as what you put? is this a suggestion that i need to create a redirect.asp page with a redirect on it or can i get around this?
