How do I decode INC files? I have a decoder program that is working on my asp pages, but wont work on the .inc files.
View Replies View RelatedI am in the process of overhauling a website that has some static buttons I would like to convert to rollovers. The links are ASP encoded -- is there any reason that this would not work? The first time I tried I had a typo and it locked up the whole site -- before I try again I wanted to make sure that there is not something inherently wrong with this code. I am obviously not an ASP programmer :-) Following is the original static link:

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'm trying to do an automatic submission of an external form without user intervention.
response.write( server.htmlencode(xmlHttp.getAllResponseHeaders()) )
The answer is:
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:59:14 GMT MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub Content-type: text/html
Code:

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html"
xmlhttp.send ("user=qwerty&password=12345") ....
I have an application that let's the user enter text into a textbox and this
data is collected on the server and stored in a database.
The page is multilingual and sets Response.Charset to the appropiate for the
language, for example gb2312 for chinese etc. This made all texts on the page
show up alright.
However, I did not change the codepage of the page so ASP encoded the post
data sent to the server and I have got really ugly texts for certain
languages.
I have had applications before doing the same thing where the page has been
able to decode the posted characters again when redisplaying them, but in
this case I haven't been able to get anything meaningful from them.
It seems to me that the encoded text depends on the charset used when
entering the text, entering chinese characters when using iso-8859-1 gives me
character codes like Ó’ which probably would be alright to convert but chinese
text that has been entered in the gb2312 charset look like this Code:
We have a customer who uses utf-8 encoded websites and wants mailto-link on some websites with integrated subject/content.

I want the special characters to be converted in html encoded format. i am using asp.
but i m getting the same string that i have passed as output.

the html characters =<p>
is there anything more required to do this.
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>
I am able to populate the contents of my textares with employees. However when I view it in the browser (IE 6.0), then I see that the 1st employee is aligned towards the right.
Like this: Code:
Emp1
Emp2
Emp3
Emp4
Emp5
How can I ensure that my alignment is is proper? Code:
Simple vbscript,html page loading into access.
Input pg posting to Confirm pg, then sending to access.
when using;
<textarea name="name" tabindex="15">
</textarea>
as an input renders tab spaces automatically.
I took out <Div> tags, and tried nowrap, and tried
reformatting data before sending to dbase (CStr, Trim)
I made a simple <textarea> , but the problem is, everytime I want to press Enter to break row , I gotta put <BR> .. can I do something that the user can type freely and the ASP will insert <BR> where needed?
View Replies View RelatedI'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,
todd

I am trying to display data pulled from a sql db in a text area. The field in the db is of type ntext. I am printing the data using the following code.....

</TEXTAREA>
But this is printing as <Long Text>, how can I print the actual data from the db.
I'm looking for some basic end user textarea formatting, similar to the formatting available when messages are created in this forum, bt even more basic.
I really would like let the user add hyperlinks and to add bolded text without knowing the html tags for these. Any suggestions on where to look for this. Ideally something that would work with all browsers (i.e. including Opera).
I need to create a form with a textarea on an ASP page that, when opened, fills the textarea with the current contents of a field in an Access database, and each time the form is submitted, appends any new text added to the existing text in the database field. I can do this, but the text runs together when it fills the text area. Example:
Entry 1
Entry 2
comes back as
Entry 1Entry 2
Any suggestions on how I can maintain line feeds when I pull the appended field back from the database.
I am using TEXTAREA as input. While entering texts sometimes I am creating paragraph and save them .But when I retrieve from database it comes without paragraph.

i can get the data out the db but then i am at a loss as to how i fill the txtarea with the text from the db, anyone know?
View Replies View RelatedI 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?

I am trying to get a form that uses aspmail to work. The form works, submits, sends, does all that it is supposed to EXCEPT: that when the user is returned to the form page after being shown a required field message; All the fields the user had filled in are still filled in, except for the textarea field which is now blank.
As this field is there for potential customers to request detailed information about what they are interested in, it would no doubt be very frustrating to have to keep filling this info back in. Is there any way I can force the textarea field to hold on to its data?

I have this problem that I think should be easy but have been struggling with this for days. I have a list based on a recordset from a database. This list consists of records meeting a certain criteria and at the bottom of this list i have a button that inserts all these records to a´nother table in the database. So long everything's ok.
BUT, at the top of this list I have a textarea that the user can write down some text to be put into every record in the table also. I can't loop this textarea, then I would have to fill out them all anyway. I think that some variable witch fetched the text from an onload popup window by request.form or javascript prompt would do the trick but I'm not sure if it's possible or even how to do this. -And, I would like to have the textarea at the top of the page instead of some silly popup thing.
I am trying to do a check to see if a value of one of my fields is a certain number. If it is I want to display a form text entry box, if not skip it.
