I have made my own messageboards using asp but I was wondering if anyone could help me with something.
Currently my users have the option to use bold and italics in their posts by using tags around the word they would like to be in bold. I then use the following command to change [b] to <b>
strtopPost = Replace(strtopPost , "[b]", "<b>", 1, -1, 1)
However I would also like to be able to use [font color=FF0000]Red Text[/font] but I'm unsure on how to do this.
1) can any one tell me what are built in objects in ASP 3.
in asp 2 it was
request
response
session
application
server
object context object
2)what are asp variables ?
I've been playing with ASP for about 3 months, and it just now, today, clicked that I could be using active x stuff with my asp pages.
The stuff I make falls into two categories, stuff for inhouse, and stuff that's on brinkster.
How can I tell what active x components I can use, and find some docs on them?
I am working with an existing script/old server that uses encrypt(whatever) quite often (mostly querystrings), however there is no routine written anywhere in the script for this. no connection to any components or anything...
I didn't know it had a default encypt function (assuming its like base 64 or something)...
I've been given an ASP site built, tested and working on IIS 5.1 to be hosted on IIS 6. I've gone through the process of enabling ASP, parent paths, and debugging in the IIS Management console. My first ASP works as expected, however, a link to a second gives me the error:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
This is not a lot to go on, so my question is can i turn on debugging/error messages to give me more of a starter?
I have built dynamic HTMLTable. Now I want to attach it directly to the Email Body - it is already built, so why not to use a ready table. However, I cannot find the way of getting plain HTML text out of dynamically built control. I tried to put my table between div and read div.innerHTML then - HTTP exception has been thrown.
View Replies View RelatedI am to develop a multi-lingual website / content management system. I will use ASP (IIS on swedish or english windows 2000), Access, and for the content editing i will use the built-in editor in IE (in an IFRAME). Primary languages/charsets, apart from the western languages (swedish, english etc) will be russian and arabic.
Does anyone know how (if) this works? What should my main concerns be, will it work and what will the likely problems be?
I've tried to insert arabic text in regular text-fields in existing applications, but when they reach the database the text has been alterd. Though I can paste the same text directly into the database. Why?
I notice that when you have the defualt setup of 404 error
pages the IIS 5.0 log tracks the page the user was trying
to get to and the page they where at when they tryed to
get to the now missing page. I recently wrote my own 404
error page to make it match my site but when I set IIS to
use my custom page it no longer traks the page that the
user was trying to get.
I was told I needed to add some
code to my page to fix this, but I don't know what code to
add. Can someone tell me? (I am useing ASP on the custom
404 error page) I am returning a 404 error response,
everything works fine it is just that IIS does not log
what page the user was trying to get to.
I created my own custom 404 handler and it works, so when I put in
http://www.domain.com/badxxx.html
it produces the correct 404 error and you see
http://www.domain.com/badxxx.html in the url still which is fine.
But when I put in
http://www.domain.com/asdf
it redirects to
http://www.domain.com/index.html
it gives a 302 (moved temporarily) as well as the 404 error.
Why does it do this for not .html files? I dont redirect it at all, and am
using
thestring = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") to get the url
but thestring sometimes does not display the asdf depending what I do after
this command, very odd.
does anybody have anyideas as to how to preserve this
http://www.domain.com/asdf in the url and avoid the 302?
I decide to put a custom Hit Counter on my page (below). Then I won't be
reliant on the standard FrontPage one which uses webbots.
It is called by:
<b>Hit Counter: </b><!--#include file="_fpclass/hit_count.inc"-->
The code it includes is below.
OK, it works - sort of.
If I go to Guestbook and then return via the Home button, the counter
increases by 3, not 1.
I can't see why this is happenning.
After returning, a refresh increases it by 2, then another refresh increases
it by 1 ??
I know that many say "Don't use them - it is a sign of an amateur", but I
would at least like to get it working even if I later decide not to use it.
I have thought to make it a conditional include, i.e. if document.referrer
is blank. Is that possible? Code:
i have a table that users are inserting custom tages ,it looks like :
user_id type value
1 99 television
2 98 beach
3 99 coldplay
etc.
now i have to make a search which will show all the users that typed the same value from the same type .i dont want the query to be a textual query (slow ...)what is the right way to do it ?how can i make a query that JOINs to tables from 2 different databases?
how to go about setting up and using custom sessions for user authentication throughout an application?
View Replies View RelatedWhen you have a custom HTTP 500 error handler, how do you go about making sure all your previously opened recordsets/objects/connections/etc.are closed properly?
It would seem to me that once you hit a 500 error, you have no opportunity to close any of the previously opened objects, eventually causing memory leaks.
I'm developing an application that uses a custom 404 page to deliver all of my site's content. However, doing things this way renders IIS's regular log files pretty much useless.
Are there any established "best practices" for creating your own logging system? I know that others use this technique and I'm hoping someone has some ideas they can pass along. For example, do you log every single page request or do you just log totals per day, week, or month? How do you deal with the increasing volumes of data? Do you collect referrer data, etc.?
I have code for remove button.How to make it a common control so that it will be handy to use.
View Replies View RelatedI asked my hosting service to setup a custom 404 page for me. They did, but when purposely calling a non-existing page with XMLHTTP, the new 404 page returns a 200 / OK status.
They seem to be taking their time trying to fix this, so I wonder if a custom 404 page that truly returns 404 status is a hard thing to set up for individual domains hosted on IIS. I hope my question makes sense to the readers.
im interested in replicating how moonpig.com 's card editor works. in particular how you can display a custom server side font in a wysiwyg editor. i know moonpig uses .net but can this be accomplished using plain ol' asp ?
View Replies View RelatedWhen a user tries to visit a non-existant page in our web site they receive a custom 404 error message. I want to capture the URL the user tried to visit. Does anyone know where I can find this string?
View Replies View RelatedI am still in the debugging of my website, but I'm nearing the end. As a last phase implementation, I want to be able to catch all asp errors and if there is one, send the user to a custom "sorry bout that" page, rather than having the errors displayed on that; if there aren't any errors, let the page load.
I setup the 404 error, but that doesn't seem to accomplish what I want.
I've created a custom 404 page that performs redirects based on the incoming
URL cross referenced against a database table.
The problem I have is the way IIS sends on the "not found" information.
Example...
http://www.mysite.com/place/missingpage.asp
is sent on to my custom 404 page by IIS via the Querystring as:
404;http://www.mysite.com/place/missingpage.asp
Which is fine,until I add a Quesrystring to the original URL:
http://www.mysite.com/place/missing...var=10&qwert=11
still comes through as
404;http://www.mysite.com/place/missingpage.asp
without the extra Querystring data from the original URL.
Having researched this online it seems many people have this problem and
looks like IIS 6 solves it. However I've also read of people with IIS 6
having the same issue, and of people with IIS 5 that don't have the problem.
(for exmaple: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum47/1829.htm)
What I'd like to know is if there is definately no way of achieving this
behaviour on IIS 5 without the use of any extra isapi filters. Perhaps a
server configuration option or something...
I would like to generate a custom date format for my ASP output ... i.e.: "5 Apr 06" instead of the "05 April 2006" that the British English 2057 LCID automatically gives me. In other words, I would like a 3 digit month and two digit year.
The code on my page reads as follows now ...
<%= DoDateTime((Recordset1.Fields.Item("StartDate").Value), 1, 2057) %>
I am trying to do the similar to mod rewrite and use the custom 404 rewrite
page to handle the table look up, so www.myweb.com/irish-tapestry-333.html
will redirect to
www.myweb.com?id=333 for the detail pages.
Will google see this forwarding in the 404 redirect page and ignore the
links?Also, how can I make the URL of www.myweb.com/irish-tapestry-333.html
appear in the users url window instead of the www.myweb.com?id=333
We have a requirement where we have to develop a custom Login Page which
will accept user's NT credentials ( Username , password, domain name).
This then needs to be passed to a website which uses Windows Authentication
my question is how do we pass these credentials to IIS in classic ASP?
I have some simple asp code to send a response to the client with aparticular ContentType defined, code shown below:
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "application/x-custom"
Response.Write "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><testing/>"
Response.Flush
I have a client side ActiveX control implementing IPersistMoniker that isregistered to handle this MIME type. This seems to work fine on some machines and not others. On some of my machines, the control is not instantiated at all. Instead, a blank page is shown in the browser. If I change the ContentType above to something like "text/xml", the response is shown correctly in the browser. This leads me to believe there is a problem with the client mime handler, but it seems to work on most machines.
On windows xp we can modify 500-100.asp file for custom asp error messages. How can we do this on a windows NT 4.0 and IIS.or what is the similar file on NT and IIS?
View Replies View Relatedis there a way to make custom error pages specific to a particular page?I know you can make customer error pages for iis to use.but if there is an error on a particuar page, can i make a custom error page to be redirected to?
for example,if a user is clicking away and runs into an error,it would display error1.htm.if they were on a different page and an error occured,they would get an error2.hm.
if its possible to create a custom validation control which can enable or disable any given control depending on whether a checkbox is checked or not?Currently my solution involves posting back to the form which in turn enables or disables appropriately.
I have noticed with some of the standard validation controls that the screen does not refresh (postback) for the error message to display.Is it possible to enable/disable a control instead of displaying an error message, and do this without posting back to the form to refresh?I have seen some custom controls which can do this for sale, but they cost $$$.
i have created a custom control in vs.net, how shall i add that one to my asp.net page. do i need to create new web control library project for creating custom web controls, what i have done is, i just included that one as another class, i am confused about how i would specify the value for the assembly attribute.
View Replies View RelatedJust a quick question about making a custom error handler. Can I use. Code:
<%On Error Response.Redirect("error.asp")%>
instead of defining a custom error page in IIS? My site is hosted by an ISP so doing the latter would leave me completely without error messages; my way I could comment out the On Error code when debugging.
why I can't use custom error messages with the asp extension in IIS5.1? I have set up a custom page to handle errors called errorHandler.asp and all HTML is rendered but not the asp.
If i put Hello World in the html body section it renders but if I put the same in a response.write of the asp it won't render.
I'm looking to do custom homepages based on user login, something like googles homepage, But not as drastic. I'm not sure how i should go about this. any suggestions on the thought process would be nice .
View Replies View RelatedI have added a http header on a virtual directory. (Content-Type text/html; Charset=utf-8). Is there any way of clearing this or override this in one asp page? In this page I will download a tab separated text file.
I don't want to show this in the browser. I try to set this content type from my COM+ component which is invoked by this asp page. Response.clear will not clear header information (and I guess the added http header is added just before the result is sent to the browser).
If IsNN6 Then
GetObjectContext("Response").contentType = "application/octet-stream"
Else
GetObjectContext("Response").contentType = "application/save"
End If
I'm trying to alter a asp web site that I've taken over from another programmer. The previous programmer left under bad circustances and I am unable to find where she did her custom scripting components. Anyone have any suggestion on what to do?
