ASP code to add varible to URL

[Nikumba]

I need some help with some code, and it has been ages since I have dabbled with ASP.

I need to insert a text input box on a webpage, so a user can put in a name eg student1 and click submit, this is then passed and inserted into the following user where it says user, and then open in a new window

https://mail.domain.co.uk/owa/user@arcs.co.uk/?cmd=contents&f=calendar

Thanks

Is there no form of security - like a password or something?

If not, you could just use javascript.

There is security, but the user needs to log in to get to the page to search for the calendar, so the credentials are passed automatically to the new window

Ah I see. In that case...

HTML:

<form>
  Username:
  <input type="text" name="txtUsername">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

ASP:

<%
  Username = request.form("txtUsername")
  if len(trim(Username) & "") > 0 then
    response.redirect("https://mail.domain.co.uk/owa/" & Username & "@arcs.co.uk/?cmd=contents&f=calendar")
  else
    ' redirect back to form
  end if

Obviously though, this will give access to anyone's mailbox so long as you know their username.

Thanks for that, it wont give them access to the whole mailbox as we only allow users as reviewers on calendar, however if the boys at Redmond hadn't made this so awakard I could just use the open mailbox option already on the page, but that only works with the user is granted FULL access to a mailbox, and they is just too big a security risk
