Question

I have the button:

<asp:Button runat="server" OnClientClick="return ValidateNewMessage();" OnClick="PostComment" ID="AddCommentButton" CssClass="nice-button" Text="Add Your Comment" />

It is on the URL:

blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6#comments

When I click the button, it takes me to:

blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6?ID=42&comments=1&page=6

This is making my scripts work strangely, I really need the button to just keep it’s URL format and not include the querystring data, is this possible easily? So fater clicking it, the page is still:

blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6#comments

The post comment method is as follows:

/// <summary>
/// Post a comment
/// </summary>
public void PostComment(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    CommentResponse CommentResp = CommentCommon.NewComment(NewComment.Text, this.ThisUser.UserID, this.Anchor);

    if (!this.ThisUser.IsLoggedIn)
        CommentResp.Status = CommentError.NotLoggedIn;

    // Error messages
    if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.CommentsPostedTooQuick)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "You are posting comments too quickly";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.ExceededCommentsPer3Mins)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = " You are posting comments too quickly";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.NotEnoughChars)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "Comment is not long enough";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.NotLoggedIn)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "You are not logged in";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.UnspecifiedError)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "Unspecified error.";
    }

    // Posted ok, redirect to last page
    if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.Success)
    {
        int TotalComments = CommentCommon.CountComments(this.Anchor);
        int TotalPages = (TotalComments + Settings.CommentsPerPage - 1) / Settings.CommentsPerPage;
        Response.Redirect(this.PageNavURL.Replace("$1", TotalPages.ToString()) + "#comments");
    }

}

The problem occurs when the status ISN’T success, when it redirects it works fine.

Answer 1

The following code does the redirect.

Response.Redirect(PageNavURL.Replace("$1", TotalPages.ToString()) + "#comments");

The URL appears to be based on the PageNavURL property. You need to change that property or the code so it results in a different URL.
