Dear All,

I need to develop a WML page in which I have put an link to some server,
requirement is : I don;t want user to click on this link , but whenever user visit this page, link should be called automatically so that we can record the user visits.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks
Nikesh

re: Send request to a link


While I haven't much experience in WML, I'd think the simplest solution is to write a server side script which feeds the WML page and executes the script that records the user visit at the same time.

If you're inextricibly stuck with having to call a link, a hacky way around it is to set the URL as the source of a LINK tag or, if that's not supported by WML, an IMG. Any server side code under that url will be executed, regardless of whether or not it retrieves a relevant image or stylesheet or whatever.
