Hi i'm writing a script for a site i'm making that will allow users to login. I used ASP, but my problem is after they login I want them to be redirected to another page, along with a variable which stores their name, i have it on one of those GET things. (i'm new at this whole web thing i'm more of an experience C++ programmer) I figured out a way to do it with javascript except i have no idea how to add the variable to the URL. this is the output i want.

usr.asp?name=(variable name here)

this is what i've tried tell me how stupid i am, then tell me how i can do it Thanks for the help :)

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

Whoa something got mixed up

i'll try it agian between the script tags should be this (assuming it works :))

<%
dim usr
usr=Request.QueryString("name")
%>
window.location=usr;

You need to look into saving the username as a session variable using ASP. Just do a Google search and I'm sure you'll find a wealth of info.

THANK YOU! i didn't try the sessions (though from what i've read i think i could've figured it out to work. But searching for that lead me to something else that worked. So thank you again.
