getting variables from Html pages

=?Utf-8?B?SmFtZXM=?=

Hello all,

I have this idea that might not work, our website is built by someone else
and is a CMS website. There is a page with links to other websites and at the
moment I have created a file for each link, the file is just a .html file
that redirects to the actual website. My links on the page are directed to
the relevant file then my webstats tell me how many times each file has been
loaded, and therfore how many click throughs each link gets.

Eg: href=http://links.website.c om/microsoft.html> Visit Microsoft then
microsoft.html is just a file that redirects to microsoft.com.

The problem with this method is that every time a new link is added, I have
to create a new file.

Is there a way to create an Asp.net page that I can send info to and then
the asp.net page record it and forward to the info, for example:

href=http://links.website.c om/www.microsoft.c om then the asp.net page would
take the www.microsoft.com bit and record it in a database, then forward to
that site. Therefore I would not need to create pages or re write pages, asp
would just say record whatever is sent then forward to it.

Am I making sense? Or is there a better way to record where people go from a
website that is basic html?

Thanks
James

How about:

href=http://links.website.c om/Redir.aspx?url= http://www.microsoft.c om

Then just pick up Request.QuerySt ring["url"] in the Page_Load event and do
whatever.

Detecting Reads of Global Uninitialized Variables

by: jyu.james | last post by:

I'm trying to detect reads of uninitialized global variables (that are declared in one file, and used in another as an extern). I know that ANSI C initializes all global variables to 0, however, I do not want to rely on this for initialization. Instead, I want to explicity initialize all variables myself. I've looked at tools like Compuware BoundsChecker, which does an amazing job in detecting uninitialized variables, but doesn't...

Session variable value getting lost from global.asax

by: tharika_c | last post by:

Hi, We have a simple ASP.NET web application where one of the Session variables, called Session("SSO_ID") gets created and assigned a value (equal to the HTTP_HRID request variable value), inside the Session_Start event of the global.asax.vb file, since this variable is accessed by almost all the pages in the project. Besides this variable, there are other session variables which are set in the various aspx pages, as needed.

getting computed clip rect

by: Chris Riesbeck | last post by:

I have an image with a class and the class defines a clip rectangle. In Firefox 2 and 3, and Opera 9, I can access the rectangle with document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(). But that doesn't seem to work in Safari for Windows 3, nor when I use image.currentStyle.clip in IE 7. Is there a way to do this in those browsers? Am I doing something stupid?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
