Hi Tarun,
Of course, the user can force his HTTP_REFERER to be any page he likes,
so checking it is all but useless.
And to the original question, it is possible to have your server
redirect to a standard error page when an error occurs, it's trivial to find
out how, google can help ... Something like "redirect on error + asp".

You need to perform validation on server otherwise the *wrong* user may
1. Disable javascript.This can be avoided by first finding wheather user
has enabled/disabled javascript.
2. Make his own local page without javascript (but javascript enabled) and
then submit the form to your server. This can also be disabled by you, by first
checking HTTP_REFERER value.
3. Finally the *wrong* user may just use any HTTP spoofer available or
do telnet at port 80, which you cannot stop.
Also viewing the javascript source code cannot be disabled ( If this had been
possible then Internet Explorer wont be able to display the page
ever)
Moreover,the applications you are talking about are JAVASCRIPT based which
executes on client side and can be disabled etc.
So its better to do all validation at server side.

Perform good strong validation on the *server*, as everyone else has said
,
but also use parameterized queries. I believe "plain old" ADO (vs
ado.net)
supports them, though most of the time they're mentioned as a "new"
(?) feature of ado.net. You'll get a performance increase as well.

Subject: Web Forms filtered with SQL constraints
Hi list !
I was wondering how to solve the 2 following problems: I have ASP (not
ASP.NET) formulaires people have to fill in. To avoid SQ injection
attacks and other tricks, I have set up some Jscript filtering on each field
(i.e.
for instance a name can just be alphabet's characters and no figures
:) ), and I am planning to do the same on my Database (setting up
constraints).
But I have 2 questions:
- How can I hide my Jscript filtering from the user ? When I want to
see the source, everything is diaplayed, quite normal :( ... Maybe
it's not so good to tell people what I have done to filter them :) I
saw some sites where it is impossible to see the source, impossible to
"hoover the site", impossible even to print ... But I have not been
able to find on the net how to do this :(
- How can I deal with possible SQL errors within an ASP page ? I mean,
if a field has been filled in, bypass my Jscript filtering (no matter
how), and gets to the database but is then "stopped" by an SQL
onstraint, how do I raise this error on an ASP page without diplaying
an explicit error (giving the user the name of my database for
instance) ?
Cheers for any clue, I am lost on this topic :(
