Problem with redirect/replace

gorros · March 10th, 2006, 07:35 PM

I am trying to use location.replace and/or location.href to "hide" the initial page (It is started from an application, with parameters as "....htm?x=X1&y=Y1...", and I don't want those parameters to be seen (and in that page I also set a SESSION-variable to use as id, to control the page was started from the application. I have no control over what parameters are sent from the application).
My problem is, that even though the redirect work fine, I am transfered to the other page, the initial URL is still showing in the address-field, and that is really what I try to avoid.
Anyone have an idea what to do? I'd really appreciate it

Hii gorros!!
1>Change form method="get" to "post"
2>If you dont' want to show initial page ,redirect the page safely when page is loaded successfully
e.g.

i am accessing a page from page1.asp on form submission
"myfile.asp"?x=X1&y=Y1" <this is the result of method="get">
myfile.asp <when method is "post" field values will not appended in query string ,rather than passed it as http-header-body>

In case of you have no choice to change method=get to method="post"

1>first create a form with required values as hidden with method as post
2>on page load ,submit the form with your newpage.asp whtever.

Note:-if you are accessing the page while clicking on the link.
use javascriipt function ,with form method=post and submit the form.

Hope this will help you

Cheers :)

Well, the problem is that the initial page is initiated from an application, and I have no control over that application. the parameteres are passed as I wrote (...?x1=x&x2=y...), and they will show up in the address-field.
What I would like is to, in the first page, pass these input parameters (that I can access through GET) into SESSION-parameters and then imediatly make a redirect into another page.
The redirect work fine, but in the address-field it still show the path and address to the initial page, not to the page I redirect to. I have tried location.href, location.replace and I don't know what. Every time, I am transfered to the new page, but the initial address is still displayed

Hii gorros!!
No probs, let together we try to solve it!!

say you are accessing
http://localhost//myfolder/mypage.asp?x=X&y=Y"

<body onload="submitRedirect()">
<form name="tempform" method="post" action="newpage.asp">
<input type=hidden name=x value="<%=request("x")%>">
<input type=hidden name=y value="<%=request("y")%>">
