Know in ASP that it is the first time calling.

Eitan

Hello,
I want to know, wheter an asp (that call itself in "get" method, has passed
any parameter to itself).

i.e :
in the asp : test_asp.asp :
.....

<html>
<body>
<form action="test_asp.asp" method="get">
num : <input type="text" name="my_num" size="3"> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<%
response.write("this is my input : " & Request.QueryString("my_num"))
' ... but I want the above will write the input also if it is empty = ""
' ... and also I want to check, whether it is the first time running the asp
(there is no queryString (count of it = 0))
' .... , so How can I do that ?
%>
</body>
</html>

....
Thanks :)

How about name for that form? How can one write empty input? You can test
if it is the first time by setting a session variable and testing for it, a
hidden form element and posting and testing for that, etc.

Put a hidden field in the form. If that field has a value (of whatever
value you set it to in the form), you know the form got posted.
Why use GET in the first place, however?

Put something like <input type="hidden" name="postback" value="true"> in
your form

and on the script section of your file check for:

If Request.Form("postback") Then
'here goes your code if this page was posting to itself
End If

Eitan, also know that since you're using a GET, someone could spoof the
value of postback in the URL. You really should use a POST.

Are you suggesting that POST cannot be spoofed?

Well spoofing the post method is a lot harder as it can't be seen in the URL
Secondly, you can put a lot more data in the post method

Conclution, everything can be spoofed, if there's a reason to spoof

But you can have code to catch their attempts and redirect them.

If you post this form from another site, I respond with a different message.

Any application that depends on client-side security is already broken.

Try spoofing a one-time pad sometime.
