I'm trying to produce a custom favourite’s section for my site so that users can store links to their favourite’s websites.
I would like to use Cookies to do this rather than make the user log in and use a database.
I would like the user to be able to create as many links as they want and be able to edit and delete individual links.
I've managed to write a cookie for one link but having problems trying to work out how to add multiple links.....
i want to start learning asp for websites.what can asp do?and where should i start?
View Replies View RelatedI'm looking for the best software out there that can create simple websites for clients. Basically, a client pays a small monthly fee and they're given a website where they can display whatever they'd like. Something sorta like Geocities in a way. I've searched aspin.com but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd rather buy something already made then to start from scratch and develop my own.

View Replies View RelatedIf I am updating a list of records for a user on an asp page, is there
a way to hold the page updating, even if they refresh the page, until I
have updated all the records.
i.e. rather than them seeing records change 1 at a time if they
refreshed their page, all the records would update together in 1 go, a
bit like a batch update ?
The source is from a MySQL db which is fed from an MS Access front end.
This could be an MS Access issue, in which case I will post there
instead.
I'm trying to update an Access db: if link is ok, then status=up else status=down, in a form with 3 fields: names, link, status:
<%
Server.ScriptTimeout = 1500
%>
<%
Session.timeout = 1
If IsObject(Session("press_conn")) Then
Set conn = Session("press_conn")
Else
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "press","",""
Set Session("press_conn") = conn
End If
sql = "SELECT names, status, link from websites order by names"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open sql, conn, 3, 3
rs.MoveFirst
Dim GotothisURL
Do Until rs.EOF
GotothisURL = rs("link")
Set GetConnection = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
GetConnection.Open "get", GotothisURL, False
on error resume next
GetConnection.Send
ResponsePage = GetConnection.responseText
if ResponsePage="" then
sql = "UPDATE (websites) set status=(offline) WHERE names = '"&rs("names")&"' AND link = '"&rs("link")&"'"
conn.Execute(sql)
else
sql = "UPDATE (websites) set status=(online) WHERE names = '"&rs("names")&"' AND link = '"&rs("link")&"'"
conn.Execute(sql)
end if
Set GetConnection = Nothing
Set ResponsePage = Nothing
rs.MoveNext
Loop
conn.close
set conn = nothing
rs.close
set rs = nothing
%>
I get no errors at all. The path to db is ok.
The script acts very very strange. On the first run, it seems that everything is ok, but the page freezes on half [the blue bar on bottom of browser]. If I'll stop the script, on the second run, the page loads very quick, but nothing happens.
I'd like to be able to list IIS websites and information in a web page
(presumably using ADSI). Similar to the list you get in the MMC plug-in.
Does anyone have a simple script I could start with? I'm only interested in
reading info at the moment.
I need to offer a questionaire to approximately every 10th user of my website when then are leaving.
My first thoughts were to use an application variable to determine the number of users but this falls over because it would not instantly release the variable when the user left the site.
I am going to construct a housing search website ... similar to www.mls.ca ... is there anyway I can populate the data(s) stores in their database? So when my user search for one kind of house, my website will return the data from the MLS database? Or there is similar way to get data from public websites?
Also, if a user search "sport" in my search text box, it will returns all the related links ... just like those search engine ... how can I acheive that? Or I need to pay or register to get the function?
In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.
I've got ASP files in many sub-folders of many levels deep.
I've always used:
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/VIRTUALSITE/SUBFOLDER1/SUBFOLDER2/FILE.asp"
-->
The VIRTUALSITE name is really the virtual directory created under
IIS.
I clone my website multiple times, to cater for different people. So,
each person gets a different VIRTUALSITE name.
This gets messy when I need to update the websites. I can't do a
diff/merge because the files of each site had a "search & replace"
applied to them to change the VIRTUALSITE name to the corresponding
person.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Can someone give me some
tips/solution on how to resolve this?
I am working with IIS 5.0 and would like use the property CentralBinaryLoggingEnabled which if set true will create one single binary log file in place of a separate log file for multiple websites.
This property is available in IIS 6.0. I would like to know if there is a patch available for IIS 5.0 which will create this property in IIS 5.0.
Is it possible for a user to enable permanent cookies but disable session cookies.....this seems like a contradition yet this is what I appear to be
reading in online articles?
I m creating a cookies in my application and it work properly but i can't see the cookies where it will sotred i checked the cookies folder but i didn't find that I want to create a cookies file as the other web site create and store where other cookies will stored in Cookies folder or Temprory Internet files folder eg:1. arvind@google.co[1].txt this stored in cookies folder 2. arvind@msn[2].txt ....

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...
After a login we have a menu from where we have access to different operations such as add ,delete,update.. but if a user enters the appropriate URL he has access to these operations with out proper authorization.how do we solve this.
should we use cookies,if so how exactly?
I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?
Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....
I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?
im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?
trying to delete a cookie, without success it seems. The following code
to delete and check a cookie produces "yes" where I expected "no"

if request.cookies("savedforum").haskeys then
response.write "yes"
else
response.write "no"

In my web application i'm are able to store large data in
the browser cookie keeping in mind the limit of 300
cookies per browser, 20 keys per cookie per domain and 4KB
max size of each cookie. i'm are unable to retreive this
large amount of data immediately after storing through
document.cookie in IE browser (The same works fine in
Netscape).
Is there any limit on the size of the data that can be
retreived using document.cookie? Could you please suggest
a solution to this problem i'm are facing.
If I Request.Cookies("cookiename") and the cookie doesnt exist could I use
If Request.Cookies("cookiename") = "" Then
Display Error Message

or would i use
If Request.Cookies("cookiename") = Nothing Then
Display Error Message
End If
I found that a number of my sites that send email using CDO failed withing the past 30 days. Consider the following. I know its not the best coding practice to open and close the connection so many times but Im curious why this would all of a sudden become an issue.
1. Have a few large sites essentially all variables such as SMTP server are set using cookies so I can deploy multiple sites quickly.
2. Within the site email appears to work correctly across all pages with 1 exception.
3. The exception is below, Im wondering if it has to do with cookies having to be retrieved multiple times from the client machine
--Call db run search loop data build array
--Based on data in array call another search alter and finalize array
--Do while <= uBound(myArray)
--Call Email sub (from,to,sub,body) ' Sub contains a request cookies for SMTP server.
--Loop
Doesnt matter if its 2 or 50 emails always fails when using request.cookies to set the SMTP in the sub. Works fine if I hard code the IP. This same sub is used multiple times throughout the website and works fine with cookies.
Just curious why it needs might need to be hard coded in the loop. Has been running for about 6 months fine and have recently started noticing failures.
All the cookies that i have don't show any bad cookies as i call them but only show the cookies that they want on the users computer but for some reason i am getting lots of bad cookies from my website at http://tmd-1.com/ and i don't know how to stop the bad cookies from downloading to the computer the cookies i am having trouble with will be in a red box in the image below.....
View Replies View RelatedI started using the following code, although, I have a feeling it is not working. Also, do I have to place the same code on all accessed pages? Code:
<%
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie") = "Expiration"
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Expires = DateAdd("d", 1, Now())
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Secure = True
Response.Cookies("LastVisit") = Date & " " & Time
%>
I am new at all of this, I can understand that this cookie will expire an hour after being access on a given day (is that right?), and it will create the cookie with the printed date and time of access. how can I make sure cookie expire on time.
