bookmark page

no more like   click here to bookmark this page   and then have a page called bookmarks and display all of them

Hmmm. So you are talking about NOT storing the bookmarks on the users' computer...? Like creating something separate from the built-in browser bookmarks/favorites?

kind of like this example

http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/bookmarks.html

Seems like they have a pretty good working example of what you are looking for. What is it that is different or missing that you want?

perhaps server side

How 'bout using Cookies?

sure

any ideas???   kind of like a shopping cart

Hi gianitoo,

Your question seems to be a basic database question:

Your link should redirect to a page that bookmarks the page it came from and redirect back to it.

bookmark.asp:

<%
  bookmark = request.querystring("bm")
  ...
  ' code to add a record to the user table
  ' for example:
  rsUserBookMarks.open "select * from UserBookMarks where UserID=" & session("UserID") & " where BM='" & bookmark & "'"
  if rsUserBookMarks.EOF then
    rsUserBookMarks.addnew
    rsUserBookMarks("UserID") = session("UserID")
    rsUserBookMarks("Page") = bookmark
    rsUserBookMarks.Update
  end If
  rsUserBookMarks.Close : set rsUserbookMarks = Nothing
  response.redirect bookmark
%>

from each page you add the following:

<a href="bookmark.asp?bm=<%=request.serverVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>">Click here to bookmark this page</a>

Hope this helps!

you can ad flaggs, so the bookmarked page knows it has just been bookmarked:

(last line of bookmark.asp)
response.redirect bookmark & "?bm"

somewhere within the bookmarked page:

<% if not isEmpty(request.QueryString("bm")) then response.write "<b>This page was successfuly bookmarked.</b>" %>

You might want to develope a different page that allows users to manage their bookmark list.

this is my code so far and i am getting a few errors

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'where'.
