Here is a simple way by which you can display a greeting message to a user at the time of login.There are certain scenarios where you can use thisfeature to provide a welcome message to the user, such as in case of aonline book or music store.
In the following example function PrintGreetingMessage() takes in a username and displays a message depending upon the time of the web server. Thestatement <%= PrintGreetingMessage("User Name") %> sends the return value ofthe function to the browser.Thus, a user viewing this page before 12:00 noon (in the Web server’s timezone) would see following text:
Good Morning !!! "User Name"And a user viewing the same page at or after 12:00 noon would see followingtext:
Hello !!! "User Name"You can write some additional code to get the “User Name” using cookies, etc.
<%@ Language=VBScript %>Display Greeting Message <%function PrintGreetingMessage(strUserName) dim strGreetingMessage ' Set a message depending upon the time if (Time >= #12:00:00 AM# and Time < #12:00:00 PM#) then strGreetingMessage = "Good Morning !!! " else strGreetingMessage = "Hello !!! " end if ' return the message out to the HTML page PrintGreetingMessage = strGreetingMessage & strUserNameend function%><%= PrintGreetingMessage("User Name") %>
