Dealing with Requests in ASP

This tutorial will teach you how to deal with requests in ASP. Requests are often seen in the form of http://www.mysite.com/page.asp?ID=x. THe ID=x is the request in the URL. This tutorial will show you how to change the location of an iFrame using requests in one file.

Part I - ASP

First, we will use name our identifier "ID". If ID=vine, then the iFrame will point to grapevine.asp. If ID=tut, then the iFrame will point to tutorials.asp, and so on:

<% Dim pageID Dim iFrame pageID = request("ID") If pageID = "vine" Then iFrame = "grapevine.asp" ElseIF pageID = "tut" Then iFrame = "tutorials.asp" ElseIf pageID = "contact" Then iFrame = "contact.asp" Else iFrame = "home.asp" End If %>

Part II - HTML + IFrame

Now all we need is an iframe to point to and a variable to insert:

<iframe src="/img_articles/4286/<%=iFrame %>" width=200 height=200 />

And thats it! Frame change on request! (pun intended)
