hi all

i have a couple of extensions installed that will hide a region if a session variable doesnt exist but i need one that will hide a region if a session variable DOES exist.
does anybody know of one or how i can edit the code in my page to do the job?

thanks

dave
p.s what i'm trying to do is hide the login form if users are already logged in

Hi Davecl

Maybe something like,

<% if request.querystring("yourstring" = "show" Then %> form to login <% else %> Hi Davecl <% end if %>

not sure if it works but maybe it helps...

Matthijs

Since you want to check if session variable exists:
<% if Session("SessionName" <> "" Then %>
Session Exists
<% else %>
Session Doesn't Exists
<% end if %>

hi guys

still no joy, even after your email help viktor.
but i have had an idea, i will put another layer over the top that is hidden if session doesn't exist, so when it does, it will hide and reveal the underneath layer.

Dave

There's no need for layers.
Post the code here (not on my email) and I or somebody else will try to solve this. Don't post complete code, just the part you're having trouble with.

1)Open any page in your project
2)From the Server Behaviours tab, click the + button, and select 'New Server Behaviour'
3)Make sure the Server Model is ASP/VB Script
4)For the name, enter 'Show if Session Var Exists'
5)When the code window opens, create a new code section by clicking on the + button. Name the code section 'If_Section'
6)Enter the following into the code blobk window:

&lt;% If CStr(Session("@@Session Variable Name@@")&lt;&gt;"" Then %&gt;

7)In the 'Insert Code' drop down list, select 'Relative to the selection'
8)In the 'relative position' drop down box, select 'Before the selection'
9)Create a new code block, by clicking the + button, call this section 'End_If_Section'
10)In the code block section, enter the following code:

&lt;% End If %&gt;

11)In the 'Insert Code' drop down list, select 'Relative to the selection'
12)In the 'relative position' drop down box, select 'After the Selection'
13)Click the Next button in the top right corner.
14)Click OK on the next screen.
15)You have just built the server behaviour you require. To use it, just select a section of your page, like some text for example, and then select the behaviour from the server behaviour window in the normal way.

Hope this come in handy.

All the best,

Well, this is why none of the answers work, they are all ASP/VBScript. Looking at the users on the forum I would imagine 90% or more are working in ASP/VBScript, so unless you state otherwise they are liable to assume that you are too.

Sorry, can't give you the answer, I'm one of the 90%

90%??? It's more like 98-99%.

OOOOOOOOPPS

sorry guys

I did try UD with ASP/VBSCRIPT but when testing my pages with IIS it was taking almost a minute for the pages to appear in IE, so I went back to ASP/JAVASCRIPT.
If any body knows why IIS is doing this, I would love to know.
I am constructing the site on one pc with xphome and testing it via local network to another running IIS on xp pro.
sorry again guys and thanks.
