Query String appended to URL

Hello,

sometimes one can see that on some site there are query strings appended to
a URL even if the requested document is of .html form. What sense does that
make? I couldn't find anything in the w3 recs.

Best Regards,

Oliver

The URI syntax standards make no distinction between "HTML form"
documents or any other type; query strings are legal in all cases. How
they're actually used depends on what's at the server end to use them;
just because a URI ends in ".html" doesn't mean that it's not being
processed by some server-side scripting language that might make use of
query strings; it depends on how the server is configured. Client-side
scripts such as JavaScript may also make use of these strings.

W3 has nothing to do with URI syntax. Those are defined by RFCs (Request
For Comment).
See RFC2396 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2396.html>.

I have a query that just reads one table and appends to an output table, one-for-one. No criteria. It's not a Total query (i.e. no group by). It normally run run in minutes, but gets horribly slowed down because five of my output fields are text fields and the expression that gets appended is a user-defined function I wrote which is very simple (just a few lines long). Here's the code of my function: Public Function tformat(num As...

Hey, I have 2 append queries. The first is based off of code given and works great. For the second, I followed the format of the 1st and adjusted it to meet my needs. Query 1 works great. It appends each specific clientId to the table when the command button from form 1 is selected (code below). The 2nd query works as well. But it will only append 1 employee record to the table. I thought this must be because it is only allowing for 1...

I am trying to integrate a custom page into a shopping cart app written in PHP. The custom page is basically a part finder widget that helps customers find a car part based on the car's make, model, year, etc. This custom page has a form that submits the page to itself. It does this because I have four drop down menus, and the data in each following drop down is dependent on the previous selection. Since there was so much data, I didn't want to...

Hello all, So I'm knee deep in this import utility program, and am coming up with all sorts of "gotcha's!". 1st off. On a "Find Duplicates Query", does anyone have a good solution for renaming the duplicate records? My thinking was to take the results of the duplicate query, and somehow have it number each line where there is a duplicate (tried a groups query, but "count" won't work), then do an update query to change the duplicate to...

Hello, using Access 2002. I was wondering if someone knows a way to show the results of an append or update query. When you run, let's say, an Append Query, Access notifies you that 10 records are about to be appended. Then Access says that only 8 were appended because of key or index rule problems. Is there a way to have Access show either which records were appended or which records were unable to be appended? I figure that you could...

Hi, I have a table which will have records appended to it weekly. In my append query I have a field to identify when it was appended using Now(). Now what I want to do is delete the identical records that were appended later so each record should only appear when they were appended for the first time. So I basically am trying to select all the records that are not MIN on the appended date so I can then turn it into a delete query. I hope...

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,...
