My task for the time being is to set up a webpage that instead of different pages for different states, instead sets up just one page and loads up the appropriate one for the right state. So instead of this walmart.com/default.html <-- Gets info using about which state you are in wal-mart.com/AL/client.html <--- Sends you each states own page we want this walmart.com/default.html  <-- Loads up like normal walmart.com/defualt.html?state=AL <-- then does this with the state code for the state walmart.com/setup.html <-- If the state doesn't have a page, or an error occurs, the setup.html loads I have no idea what the second part is called, and with that, no code examples to work off of.  Any help?

Replies Zimmy Posted at 4:10 am on July 5, 2008 Your not going to do it in straight HTML.  Period.  You'll need to use PHP, Perl, or ASPX depending on your web server and what it supports.    Best coding stragedy would be a select block with all the potential options for ?state=.  This would be done in a standard "select case", and also allow a generic handler (if it doesn't match any of your specified strings) to lead to an error page and/or the default page. sakurag Posted at 3:16 pm on June 30, 2008 This really depends on the language you are writing your pages in.  In the simplest terms, you can use some sort of switch method and have the 'default' or 'error' condition send you to the other page.
