Change displayed TEXT when submitting twice 1

[JrClown]

Hello all
I'm trying to display different color text when a user searches multiple times and no records are found.

My search now is based on
Name
Account Number

When a user searches for account #12345 a page on my main frame loads displaying "No records match your search, search again"
I want to change the "No records match your search, search again" text color when any other search is done and not found.

Howabout setting a hidden variable that you pass back and forth between the pages -- If you're doing it with a post method, then no sweat, yes?

And if it isn't really a form, then you can still have the hidden variable stuck in there somewhere, and all your links point to a javascript function that would first read the value of the hidden variable, and then smack that baby on the end of a querystring, and then use the:

location='blahblah.com/blah.asp?numOfMisses=2'

to shoot them off to wherever you're going, and then pick it up again on every page --

Either that, or set a session variable to hold the value, and then just check that --

session(&quot;soandso&quot = session(&quot;soandso&quot + 1

For completeness (though I'm sure you knew this), you would change the text by saying:

<font color=
<%
if var > 1 then
response.write(&quot;RED&quot
else
response.write(&quot;BLACK&quot
end if
%>
>Sorry, nothing matches</font>

I was on my way out the door here when I saw your post, so I hope it was clear enough.

good luck!
