Questions about developing an entire application

[SSonnier]

Hello,

I'm hoping the group can help me understand the entire app development with asp.

I'm looking at someone else's code they started the application on default.asp with a redirect to index.asp page. Is there a reason that you would redirect to another page right from the begining?

Also, the index.asp starts with an includes file that checks for a password. Does the include file always run first?

 

[onpnt]

yes on the includes

and the redirect is just a method to perform some type of processing prior to the user viewing anyhting. you can do it in the global.asa also and or simply in the index.asp by leaving IIS alone. They more then likly changed the default page in IIS and then redirect to the index.asp due to some needs of processing without user interaction yet.
