This is HTML :
<A HREF="default.asp?fname=<%=filename%>">Continue</A>

This is server-side scripting :
<%
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com")
%>

Notice the diffence?

In addition, please explain what you're trying to do and post either URL or source, if possible.

Hi!

Sure I will.

I have
<A HREF="default.asp?fname=<%=filename%>">Continue</A>

at the end of a page where I have used JMAIL for uplaoding a file chosed by the user. The variable of the file is "filename".

And instead of clicking on Continue, I would like that the page default opends automaticly, and brings the filename in the url(as a querystring)

It works fine with the HTML link now, but it is a unnessecery(spelling?) step.

(ASP)

Best regards, Klas

For server side scripting (ASP), do this at the end of your script:

<%
Response.Redirect("default.asp?fname=" & filename)
%>

Although, be aware that the user will never see the page before the redirect occurs. So if you had some message for them there, they won't see it.

If you do want them to see such a message, you're better off doing a meta:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="10; URL =default.asp?fname=<%= filename %>">

or client-side (javascript) script:

document.location = "default.asp?fname=<%= filename %>"

redirect.
