turning header.asp 'customheader' OFF from within ASP page?

[alevey]

How can I use the header.asp include but turn off, always, the customheader (not display the HomeSeer header info built by the header.asp) from within an ASP page... Independant from the device it is using?

thanks

I'm not sure what includes your using but if yours has this set of lines near the top:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
If Instr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT"), "Audrey") &gt; 0 Then
bTouchScreen = True
Else
bTouchScreen = False
End If
</pre>

Then simply change the second bTouchScreen to equal True and it will not show the default HS header.

Change to:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
If Instr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT"), "Audrey") &gt; 0 Then
bTouchScreen = True
Else
bTouchScreen = True
End If

</pre>

If you change the btouchscreen variable then you will get the touchscreen link buttons. If that file is empty the is suspect Rupp's suggestion will work. If this is not the case then you need to understand what aspect of customheader that you are trying to retain while defeating other parts of it. In some of my frames I am only interested in the sytle sheet for the PC or the body tag for the touchscreen and just put that code in rather than making a call to customheader. You call still use the FormatCell functions of header.asp even if you do not use CustomHeader.

rupp,
i'm not sure if you mean in the header.asp or in the custom asp page?

basically, i'm looking for a way to use the header.asp include but place some code/variable/etc in 'newly built' asp page i create that will stop the customheader from displaying. while still retaining all header.asp functions & styles

Did you find the lines I mentioned in your header.asp file?

If I change ther header.asp then 'none' of my ASP pages will get the customheader... right?
I want to selectively choose which pages get the customheader, by page, not by device.

- maybe I'm missing something?
- maybe it takes a mod to the header.asp to set the options by page, not by device?

You said that you still want the style and the functions but not the customheader.
By customheader do you mean the Page Title, the Logo Bar and the Links that are at the top of the page?

no title bar

In the current header includes you can not do this on a page by page basis.

But the good news is that several of us have been working together to come up with a set of includes that will work for everyones scripts. They are almost finished. We are in the final wrap up stages. Meaning I'm the holdup becuase I don't have the docs ready.
In the new header you will be able to turn off the logo bar, or the Page Title or both. You will be able to set an alternate style sheet, set background colors, background images, send code to put in the body tag, send code for the head section.

And it has been written so that it will work with secure links and work without secure links.
That means that someone who doesn't use secure links can install the TV Listings scripts and not have to edit anything to get them to work.
