change stylesheet upon page url

[RFH Reseller: Space Cowboy]

Hey, am a bit of a newbie to asp so go gentle!

I have 2 domain names: www.tascomms.co.uk and www.tascomms.mobi, they both point to the same site.

What I want is when people go to the site through the .co.uk domain they are issued one style sheet and if they go through the .mobi domain they are issued another. This is my code so far:

<% 
domainname = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") 

response.write domainname

IF domainname = www.tascomms.co.uk THEN
%>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen"  />
<%
END IF

IF domainname = www.tascomms.mobi THEN
%>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/handheld.css" type="text/css" media="handheld"  />
<%
END IF

%>

This keeps bringing up the following error:



Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'domainname' /aboutus2.asp, line 18

can anyone help?

cheers

You need to quote your strings and declare your variables:

<%
Dim domainname
domainname = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") 

response.write domainname

IF domainname = "www.tascomms.co.uk" THEN
%>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen"  />
<%
END IF

IF domainname = "www.tascomms.mobi" THEN
%>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/handheld.css" type="text/css" media="handheld"  />
<%
END IF

%>

Also - here is cleaner, failsafe code:

<%
Dim DomainName, StyleSheet
DomainName = LCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
If Left(DomainName, 4) = "www." Then DomainName = Right(DomainName, Len(DomainName) - 4)

Select Case DomainName
	Case "tascomms.co.uk"
		StyleSheet = "screen"
	Case "tascomms.mobi"
		StyleSheet = "handheld"
End Select
%>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/<%=StyleSheet%>.css" type="text/css" media="<%=StyleSheet%>"  />

I am not sure why you would want to do what you are doing when simply having

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen"  />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/handheld.css" type="text/css" media="handheld"  />

would mean each device would get the right style sheet regardless of the domain TLD.

If you wanted to force mobile users to see the site on the .mobi domain and other users on the co.uk I'd do it as a separate bit of code that simply redirects from one to the other.

Thanks Warren thats great!

The reason for this is 2 reasons, the first is that not all browsers on handheld devices recognise the "handheld" stylesheet and will just use the "screen" stylesheet.

This will ensure that if someone types in the .mobi domain name they will see it with the "handheld" stylesheet regardless of wether or not their browser supports them.

Also I want people to view the website on a PC as a demo as to how it would look on a handheld device.

Actually what I need (using Warrens code) is this:

 
<%
Dim DomainName, StyleSheet
DomainName = LCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
If Left(DomainName, 4) = "www." Then DomainName = Right(DomainName, Len(DomainName) - 4)

Select Case DomainName
Case "tascomms.co.uk"
StyleSheet = "screen"
Case "tascomms.mobi"
StyleSheet = "handheld"
End Select
%>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/<%=StyleSheet%>.css" type="text/css" media="screen"  />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/handheld.css" type="text/css" media="handheld"  />

So if someone goes into tascomms.co.uk they will always be presented with the true screen version, unless they view on a handheld device that supports the handheld style sheet in which case they will get the handheld style sheet.

But if someone goes onto tascomms.mobi they will ALWAYS see the site with the handheld stylesheet regardless of their device and if their browser supports handheld stylesheets.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/<%=StyleSheet%>.css" type="text/css" media="<%=StyleSheet%>"  />

I want to use this code for selecting language file with server side include.
<!--#include file="english.asp"-->


it that possible to use variable on this line
<!--#include file="english.asp"-->


may be something like this:
<!--#include file="' & variable & '"-->

No, include files are "included" before any ASP code is executed.

So you can do this:

Select Case Langauge
Case "EN"
<!--#include file="english.asp"-->
Case "FR"
<!--#include file="french.asp"-->
End Select

Note: both english and french files will be loaded and included, however only one will run.
