Coding a hyperlink to another page

[david7777777777]

How do you code a hyperlink in an ASP page that points to another page using VBScript or JavaScript?

Below is your standard hyperlink:
<a href=PAGE YOU WANT TO LINK TO>CLICK ME TO GO TO PAGE</a>

Below will pass data:
<a href=PAGE YOU WANT TO LINK TO?varname=&quot;data&quot;>Click Me to Pass Data VIA URL</a>

Bad wording I guess. If someone clicks a button on my page that opens a recordset and that recordset returns no records, I want to re-direct them to another page that is already built with a message that says &quot;No results, try again.&quot; I'm not sure how to code this re-direction stuff.

If you are doing server side code it would be the following:

Response.buffer = True
set r = Server.CreateObject(&quot;ADODB.Recordset&quot
'open r with whatever records

If r.eof Then 'check to see if recordset is empty
Response.redirect &quot;EmptyRecords.asp&quot;
Else
'do stuff with the records
End If
Response.flush
'*******

If you are doing it on the client side:
//in javascript, but easy in VBScript too
var r = new ActiveXObject(&quot;ADODB.Recordset&quot;
r.open(test,connstring)
if(r.eof){
window.navigate(&quot;EmptyRecords.htm&quot;
}else{
//do stuff with records
}

Hope this helps,

Hi sophtwarez,
in your response to david77... you wrote some client side code for opening a recorset with ActiveXObject. I was wondering if this works it Netscape as well or just IE?

Thanks for your help. &quot;Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.&quot;
