I have an ecommerce website that Im workign on, and my client has asked me to introduce some new stock but it needs a difefrent landing page other than the normal description page that is built into the system.
So I had this idea at first to eneter a product into the system, then once its clicked to be viewed in full it would go to a page that I built and pushed up the the root level on the server.
This is my question, I thought about using a customised error404.asp page to detect the page they looking for once they click the item, and then re-direct them to another page.
This is what i was thinking, which has come from another site.
But then I realised that the page they dont want it to go too will exist as its automatically done, and so the code above will not work as the page will exist.
So is there another way around it so that I can list a load of new pages against the pages I dont want it to go to, although that page does exist.
Hope it all made sense.
Thanks

Code:
<%
dim i, newURI, req, pageArray(1,50)
pageArray(0,0) = "long-case-mahogany.htm"
pageArray(1,0) = "Display.asp?cat=Longcase%20Mahogany&catArt=Longcase%20Mahogany"
bFound = false
for i = 0 to ubound(pageArray,2)
if pagearray(0,i) <> "" then
if instr(request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING"), pageArray(0,i)) <> 0 then
req = replace(request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING"),"404;","")
newURI = replace(req,pageArray(0,i), pageArray(1,i))
bFound = true
end if
end if
if bFound then exit for
next
if bFound then
' uncomment the next line to keep the original URI but show the new content
'server.transfer("/newdir/" & pageArray(1,i))
'server.transfer(pageArray(1,i))
' uncomment the next lines to redirect to the new pagename
response.status = "301 Moved Permanently"
response.addheader "Location", newURI
response.end()
else
