Alternative To TEXTAREA
I know this is not a core .asp issue, but I'll try anyway. I've used the TEXTAREA element for a while, but as you know it's limited when it comes to formating part of the text inside a TEXTAREA.Does anyone have expirience using other text cointainer objects (Java/ActiveX), which is easy to use and easy to read values from when sending a form to a procedure .asp page?

how to dispaly text from a text area on a page as page copy (using the replace function)
How do I display this text inside another textarea, holding formatting? All variations of 'what I thought would work' do not.
I am using the following function:
Function DisplayMemo(theText)
DisplayMemo = ""
on error resume next
DisplayMemo = CStr(theText)
if (len(DisplayMemo) > 0) Then
DisplayMemo = Replace(DisplayMemo, vbCrLf, "<br>", 1, -1, 1)
end if
End Function
calling it like:
<textarea cols=119 name=ownSubmitted rows=7>" & DisplayMemo(getInfo(0)) & "</textarea>
NOTE: getInfo(0) is a variable holding my value. Yes the value is there. It is showing the text I want, however the <br>'s are rendered inside the text area?

I am writing a small database utility to catalog all of my favorite ASM/JS/VBS functions and scripts on an asp page. Everything is going smoothly except for one thing that I can't quite seem to think my way around.
I am using a <textarea> to display the code but some of my scripts have <textarea> tags in them and when the </textarea> tag is entered, it closes my <textarea> and the rest of the code ends up outside of the textarea.
Example: (the code after the middle </textarea> show up outside of the textarea box)
<textarea>
code...code...code...
code...<textarea></textarea>code...
code...code...code...
</textarea>

Is is possible to pass parameters with this URL:
www.mysite.com/article/sports/football
instead of the usual method:
http://www.mysite.com/article.asp?c...tegory=football
And, if I need to add more parameters at a later time, may I then use
something like:
http://www.mysite.com/article/sport...321&language=EN
Also, I am using ASP, not ASP.NET.

i have read a few articles saying that you can run IIS on XP home but it does not look too reliable to me and am not too willing to try, so is there an alternative set-up i can use to test my ASP before uploading?
i say this as all ftp hosts seem to want your code pre-tested before uploading .

Looking for a way to switch between submit buttons. The default will be "start" and when the tech clicks on that, the button will start a timer, which I have already set.
The button then will switch to "stop" and when a tech has completed a job and clicks "stop" the timer will also stop and switch the button back to start.
I know how to track the time for each tech that starts and stops a job. I need a jumpstart on how to switch onclicks for two buttons.

I would like to set up an ASP page that sends an e-mail, but the server I'm working on doesn't have CDONTS installed for security reasons. I don't have any control over the server. Are there any alternatives to using CDONTS that will work or a better option?

Is there any other way or trick to include an asp file in my ASP file than the classic html #include. In fact my filename (which is to be included) will be coming from database and #include statement doesn't support any kind of variables.

I'm using ASP and I need to generate a ZIP file that contains a list of files that I'm pulling from a database. I've determined WinZip's command line parameters so that I can use it, the problem is I'm unsure how to run WinZip on the server.
Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("c:winzip.exe")
Assuming this would work, how do I get the process to terminate upon completion? I can't have 20-30 WinZip applications running on the server, I need it to handle what I send to it and then close. Maybe I'm taking the entirely wrong approach here.

Is there another command in asp that I can use to send users to a different page.
I use response.redirect alot in our site and I suspect it is causing us ranking trouble as it is basically a 302 redirect.
I use it like this.
If user is not logged on > send him/her to the log on page and attach a variable showing where the redirection came from so they can return easily.
Is there another way?

Good:
246/10 = 24.6
round(24.6) = 25
Bad:
246/100 = 2.46
round(2.46) = 2 (I want 3)
If I have a decimal, I want to round up. Always. How do I achieve this in ASP?

i am using cookies to save a users login information which is then used again on another page to save data to a database. This works fine on certain clients' machines, but on others there is an error. Am i right in saying that it is because cookies are not enabled on their machines? If so, is there another way i can do this?

Are you suffering from the same problem? In the past, you want to access to a secured page protected by Windows Authentication (e.g. Exchange OWA), you will make such redirection "http://usernameassword@domain/exchange/".
However, because of security and Microsoft's latest patch, it will be no longer working. I wonder what we could do now if we want to do the same.

In VB there is a command that can be used to convert a string into proper case, e.g...
msgbox StrConv("HELLO", 3)
Would say "Hello". However, there is no such function in ASP (it seems to be one of the few commands that was not exported into VBS....god I miss DoEvents too....used to abuse that command.....lol).
Anyway, do you guys know any methods that can be used to do the same thing? Basically I have a name all in CAPS, and I want it to be converted into Proper case so that it's easier on my visitor's eyes when they see it.

I'm using CDONTS and am trying to send an email out which displays in HTML for HTML-enabled clients, and plain text for non-HTML clients. Unfortunately I am using IIS4 so CDOSYS is not available (so I can't use the handy .Textbody or .HTMLBody properties). How would I go about it with CDONTS?

My users have to select an value from a fixed selection of values. The
obvious choice of control for such a requirement is to use a <select> (i.e.
a combo box).
My problem is that sometimes, these combo boxes will have a *large* number
of values. There could be any number of values in them from 5 to 5 million
(unlikely it would be this large but possible).
Obviously 5 million is far too much to populate a <select> control with.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to how a user could select a value from a
*potentially* very large selection of values (i.e a suitable alternative to
the <select> control)?

Having just "discovered" it myself, I thought I'd draw everyone's attention to the fact that the WinHTTP 5.x object (which is used behind the scenes by our good friend the ServerXMLHTTP object) can be used directly in scripts.
This is useful because the ServerXMLHTTP object encapsulates XML-related functionality which is unnecessary for performing most simple HTTP requests, and thus by using the WinHTTP object directly you achieve higher performance, scalability, and reduced memory consumption... AND WinHTTP offers quite a few features that ServerXMLHTTP does not expose - including the ability to specify a proxy (and an exclusion list) from within the script (or to acquire them from Internet Explorer's settings), IPv6 support, and HTTPS/SSL support!
For more information .....

I've written several scenarios where the end user needs to enter data into a textarea (descriptions, messges etc) which becomes part of a form. End users often put apostrophe's and carrige returns in the textarea... however, when the code i write is submitted to the database, it generates an sql command from the page that sent the action.
Client Side:
<form action="somepage.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress">
<textarea cols="20" rows="5" name="comments"></textarea>
</form>
On code submission...
sql="insert into tableName (email,comments) values ('" & request.form("emailaddress") & "','" & request.form("comments") & "');"
db.execute(sql)
Now, when strange people put carrige returns, it stuffs up the string and therefore produces an error, and to make matters worse if it did recognise a carrige return, it wouldn't be displayed on HTML output. Apostrophes are even worse - they signify the end of a variable in the SQL sentance Can anyone help me and figure out a new way of writing to the DB?

I've got a page on a website I'm developing that contains a textarea.
The textarea will allow users of the site to enter a description of an
item.
When they submit the form that contains the textarea, the textarea and
other form elements data are stored in a database. So far so good.
My problem concerns carriage returns, new lines, line feeds or whatever
else you want to call them :-)
I want them preserved, so when the user wants to edit the description of
the item, the format of the description is displayed exaclty as it was
entered.
The problem is that HTML renders the carriage returns as white space, so
when the database is read and the textarea populated with the
description field, the carriage returns are lost.
I have tried the ASP REPLACE function to replace carriage returns with
<br>, but the code below actually displays all the <br>'s.
<%=Replace(myRecordset.Fields.Item("myField").Value,Chr(13),"<br>")%>
I played around with different combinations of chr(13) and vbcrlf and I
managed to get the textarea to display the description as it was entered
with carriage returns, but upon further testing and editing of the
description, because of the REPLACE function, the number of carriage
returns was doubling each time!

i have 2 tables one table stores the information for the prof and second table stores information for the subject he teaches so first table deptprof has the id,name,email for the professor
so i get his last name and email which is working second table design is name is deptlist
fields are
deptautoid
deptid
subjectname
desc
so one professor might be teaching 3 subjects
so the records in table are
1001
3
maths
maths subject is boring
1002
3
science
science is good
1003
3
sports
make some time for it
so now this page lets the professor update the subject and its desc
so what i do is fill up the subjects and desc he is currently assigned to and then he can change the subjects
and desc
subjects have a checkbox and desc has a textarea
what happens is for example a professor has 3 subjects he is teaching now
so 3 checkboxes are selected and all the desc for them are displayed in the textarea
but now the professor decides he wants to teach 4 subjects
so he selects the 4th subject checkbox and doesnt enter the desc i want to fire the alert
but it doesnt fire the alert
second way prof is teaching 3 subjects
3 checkboxes are selected and 3 textarea are filled
professor decides to delete desc in one of them and hits submit i want to fire an alert
saying he forget desc but it doesnt fire so whenver desc is deleted from the textarea and checkbox for it is selected
i want to fire an alert
can someone tell me whats wrong with the code
thanks,
