Novice needs help....

[c02homer]

I have created a simple "survey" for my company in FrontPage 2003.
They want people to fill it in weekly for 6 months. I have created a
page for each week as the questions (naturally) are different for each
week.

As this project goes on for 6 months, I want only the current week's
page to be available. Of course I can manually do that, but I want to
make it happen automatically.

I tried using the "include on a schedule" feature but found that you
can't "include" an ASP page. So, trying to be brilliant (hack, hack),
I created a redir.htm page that contains a javascript redirect to the
input form. SEEMED like it ought to work - but it doesn't work.

When I open my browser and type in http://mysite/mysurvey/redir.htm, it
works perfectly. But when I run the page that is the "scheduled
include," to get around the .asp issue, I just get a blank page.

If anyone knows how I can do this, I sure would appreciate it! I need
to be able to take a vacation sometime in the next six months - and I'm
the only one who can do this where I work.

Alternatively, if it can be done by testing with a javascript, I'd sure
love some insights there, as well.

Thanks!!!

Get rid of your redirect workaround
Since you are using ASP you can hand write ASP code to decide which form to display when based on the date or a DB lookup

There's ASP code? Cool!

And here, I "redirect" you to the subject line. Will you or someone
give me some sample code for doing what you suggest?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Not aware of any sample code, it has to be written specifically for the project.

You can try the following in your IE address bar:

? ASP Display Page based on Date Script

One way (perhaps not the best or most efficient) is on the lines of

<%
if date() > cdate("21 December, 2006") then fn="/path/form3.asp"
elseif date() > cdate("14 December, 2006") then fn="/path/form2.asp"
elseif date() > cdate("7 December, 2006") then fn="/path/form1.asp"
else fn="/path/form0.asp"
end if
%>
<!-- #include virtual="<%= fn %>" -->

where form#.asp are asp include files containing the various forms. You
would need about 26 of these includes for 1 each week for 6 months.
Note that the latest date is at the top of the list.

The above has not been tested.

[c02homer]

Thanks to all of you - even when the response isn't quite right, it's
always good to know that there are people who will at least TRY to help
you.

I tried the sample code provided by Ronx and although I didn't know
whether my lack of success was me or the code, I genuinely appreciated
the input.

Always it is good to get educated and the help you provided, Thomas -
the links to ASP training - awesome! Thank you - I'm well on my way!!

Education is the key to everything. )
