On an Intranet Web application I'm working on, I need to
display a Pop-up that shows the users what report changes
have occurred. This may happen once a week or more and I
need a way for the users to turn-off this Pop-up after
they've reviewed the changes.
Currently, I'm debating whether to use cookies or build a
table that will set flags. I'm not sure what the best
solution to take would be. Does anyone know what would be
the best solution? I don't like the idea of using Pop-
ups. I'd rather have a link for the user to click that
shows the report changes, but my client wants to use pop-
ups.
If I use cookies, how do I create one, and how do I update
it so it knows when to and when not to display a pop-up?
I've never created a cookie before, so if someone has some
sample code that would helpful.
As for the Pop-up, I've seen pop-ups that loads a new
instance of IE, and I've seen pop-ups that look embedded
in the current instance of IE with a close option. I
would like to create the latter pop-up? Has anyone done a
pop-up like the embedded one before? If so, where can I
find some sample code on how to create one?
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.
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 have a table with many txt boxes which i have inside a form with a submit button to an update page which adds all the details to a db. The problem is i have a another table inside the first e.g. table 2. i want to be able to update table2 by clicking a second submit button that would update it. Is it possible to have a form within a form or how can i do it??
Also i need to update the entire table in one go. For exampple if i have 3 records in table2 i want to be able to update them all by clicking the one update button. Code:
I have the following code but this is inserting manually. I want to make a query from table 1 and automatically enter the records into table 2. What needs to be modified? Code:
Have an app which dynamically creates table rows depending on records, these can be several hundred (don't ask). Hence a very long page at time. Each row includes a hyper link to a new page, and a link back to the original page.
Is there any method (maybe via js) where on leaving the second page l can redirect the browser to the table row the end user clicked on? Hence the bookmarking. Can do this via Visual Basic on the desktop app, but can't work it out on the web app.
I have a table produced with names across the top and services down the left hand side with boxes for numbers for people who recieve services then the info is written into a table in an access db. That works fine and here is that code:
I have two tables. Table A has 20,000 records, Table B has 2,000 records. Table A is what needs to be updated from the data in Table B. Only some fields will be updated and of course, only some records - both tables have the same field as a ClientID so matching up records should be easy.
Anyways, been a while since I have used ASP to work on things like this but would like to work through this one. I understand the process I believe, it is just how to make it go on to the next record once it has finished updating the first.
Basically, I was thinking of having it set up to reaad the top record from Table B, update applicable data in Table A. Delete that record in Table B. Move on to the next.

there are students and teachers. therefore I have 3 tables one for logins and one for staff and on for students.
I have a form designed to capeture the need information.
in the code I am runing an if and elseif statmetn to determin the tables. I then insert the userid and password into the login table.
then i enter the remaining information into ither the staff or student table. what i am trying to do is select the perimary number that is generated as the userid and passeword are enterd. and add this to the second table. Code:
I've added a cookie and I am able to read it when using the same window but if I load up a new window and try to access it, it can't find the cookie. Any one know why?
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.
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
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?
I have the code below which I know it is wrong where the cookies come in. I am trying to write the values collected from a database into cookies. However I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to write rows of cookies with different values. This may be a little difficult to explain - see the following code:
Not strictly a full asp question but Im sure someone here will have the answer.I've read in several web sites that you can read and write to the same cookie with asp and javascript.Does anyone have any sample coding showing how to do this with the javascript along with the asp code or were these websites I saw it mentioned on bogus?
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.
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.....
I 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.
I need to build my own simple cart that writes to cookies only. I can write and read cookies, but don't have a clue as to how I can add multiple products, change quantites, etc. All I need is a cart that stores information in cookies and the user prints their order. That's it. Where can I find such information?
I am not able to set cookies with the domain name on a Windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0. If I use the IP address it works. I have another machine running IIS and I configured them together.
I have two folders under root(wwwroot) Fol1 and Fol2.
Our customers logs on index.asp under Fol1 but when he/she wants to check their order status it will take them to Fol2/account.asp where it checks for userid cookie which was set in Fol1 index.asp when they log in. But seems like I am not able to obtain the value in Fol2/account.asp. User Id cookie is empty. I have set an expiration date for cookie as date + 1
