What is the best way to add a hit counter to my default.asp page? If a user
stays on the page and press's REFRESH, I do not want the counter updated. I
only want it updated if they have come from another website. Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'd start with this...
http://www.asp101.com/samples/counter.asp
to do the counter, then I'd modify the code a little and add the following:
if session("svHit")<>"Yes" then
' put your code here to increment the hit counter
session("svHit")="Yes"
end if
This way, someone can press Refresh, and it won't increment the hit counter,
as long as the session is active (usually 20 minutes w. no activity).

We think alike. That is exactly what I was doing. I am not real
fond of the timeout issue but I can live with it.
Thanks

In addition to the session, you could add a cookie that expires in 1 day.
That way, you can check for the cookie and if its there, you don't count.
The problem with cookies is that many people have them blocked, so you'd
need to use the session variables as a backup.
