Session Issues

[nana23]

Hi. i'm a 19 year old student, learning basics of ASP.
Sorry. I have a very important question.

how do i put a session variable into the site url?
example instead of userProf.asp
i want it to be userProf?uid=125.asp
where 125 refers to the userid of that user.

How do i go about letting a user view another
user's profile by clicking the username of that user?
example:
i have a listbox. The items inside are user names
of users who are online. how do i link each username
to its own profile page?

please help me.
if you add me on MSN and explain there
would be more efficient. Thanks
<please send me a PM>

Welcome to the scripts DN. We have a policy to not give homework answers outright, but I don't mind helping to clarify points that were probably made in class.

how do i put a session variable into the site url?
example instead of userProf.asp
i want it to be userProf?uid=125.asp
where 125 refers to the userid of that user.

the correct syntax for a querystring variable is:

userProf.asp?uid=125

If the userID is a session-level variable, you can add it to a link like this:

<a href="uswerProf.asp?uid=<%=session("userID")%>">Click for user 125 info</a>

How do i go about letting a user view another
user's profile by clicking the username of that user?
example:
i have a listbox. The items inside are user names
of users who are online. how do i link each username
to its own profile page?

There are a few ways I can think of going about this. What do you have so far?

please help me.
