I am using an HTML form and creating a tabbed text file with the .xls extention.
only problem remaining is when multi-line text area is used the user might press 'return' to create new line in the text area but this also creates a new row in Excel.
what's the best way to replace the 'return' in the form data with the little rectangle that Excel uses to create a carriage return inside a cell?
Is there a way to detect if the user has placed two returns in a form field for example as below:- This is a short paragraph This is the second paragraph
And automatically add the surrounding <p></p> tags on inserting this into the database. Same with the edit of pages. Rather than showing the <p></p> in the form is there a way to just apply the paragraphs for the user to visually see thus preventing code in the form window?
how I can keep the formatting (carriage returns) that the user enters into a memo field and then display that later. I figured I might be able to use:
'replace carriage returns with BRs
comment=Replace(comment, chr(13), "<br>")
but obviously net.!
The <pre> tag doesn't sem to help either as the embedded return is lost by the time you get past Request.Form
I am using asp to retrieve data from an SQL Server database and display it on a web page. The data in the database has been formatted using multiple carriage returns however, when the data is displayed on the page these carriage returns are lost.
View Replies View RelatedI have a form with a <textarea></textarea> to receive user input. This input is then stored in a database and sent by fax... I need to be able to remove the carriage returns (enter key... vbcrlf...) from the input so that somebody doesn't do something like fill the textarea with 100s of keypresses of the enter key and end up spitting out tonnes of
blank pages on the fax machine.

View Replies View RelatedI have a text box that a user is allowed to enter what ever text they wish. I then take the text store it in a Database, and at a later time print it in a document. All that part I have done.
The problem I'm having is I have a client that hits return at the end of their last sentance. When this prints on the document, it sometimes causes an extra blank page to be produced to account for the last carriage return, depending on how much text they have entered.
What I'm looking to do is take out any whitespace or un-needed carriage returns at the end of the string.
If I want to remove x-amount of trailing carriage returns from a string in ASP (ie, someone has entered text into a text area and left a few carriage returns) - what's the easiest way to do this?
Trim() only removes white space
Also, I don't want to remove carriage returns within the main body of submitted text.
Any ideas if there's an easy way to do this?
I have a textarea that is being sent to email using an asp code to process the form.

I am using the asp sendmail script from brainjar. But I'm using a text area instead of input field for comments. Is there a function that I should run this thru in order to get it to recoginize carriage returns. Currently it won't send anything after the first carriage return.
View Replies View RelatedI am attempting to pull data out of a sql database and then parse it so that i only send the data after the last carriage return to the actual page.example
blah bla 1 ( carriage return )

blah bla 4 ( carriage return )
blah bla 5 ( carriage return )
blah blah blah 6
my code should return blah blah 6
I have a long list of checkboxes and a text field is associated with
each checkbox. So I created a loop that should get the value of each
text field that has a marked checkbox next to it. Here's my code
for each g in gildi

...
next
then I create a query with the value and send it. Anyway here's my
problem:
the aths variable gets the correct value on the first iteration but is
blank every time after that.

I want to export data from SQL Server Database to Access Database through ASP code.
Will it be by running some sort of a batch file?The database structure of both the databases are the same, only there are 3 fields more in the SQL Server DB than the ACCESS DB which need not be exported.
I have all my databases in form of Access. But the Client sends it in the form of Excel. I can manually import the contents from the Excel to the Access. I would like to automate this by giving a front end where in I select the Excel file and when I click the upload button the data gets uploaded into the Access table. Can anybody give me an idea how I can do it using ASP?

View Replies View Relatedwhen user click a button data will be fetched from database based upon condition and it will be exported to multiple sheets of a single excel work book. what I am doing, onclick of button in main page, I am invoking a new asp page through document.location.href=test.asp.
In test.asp page created a instance of excel.applicaion and then fetching data from backend and putting data to different workbook cells of the the excel and at the end making excel.visible=true but the problem is excel file not getting visible on client machine.
But when I remove some server side code and put the rest of code inside vbscripting tag in the main asp page then the excel file becomes visible on client machine. I am not getting the where the problem lies in the first part .
My asp/sql server application gets an error, but only when you use the
Excel export option:
<% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %> (very popular w/
users)
I think somebody entered a string of characters that Excel does not
like:
So I believe (but not sure) some character(s) in a Ntext sql server
field "desc_text" is confusing the Excel file and causing it to error
(and crashes Excel)
So far, I have attempted three fixes with no success
1) Tried to convert the data type in the SQL query:
CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(255))
2) Tried to convert the data type in the vbscript:
<% desc_text1 = Cstr(rs.fields.item("desc_text").value)%>
3) Tried append an apostrophe to the beginning of the field so that
Excel would not read it as a formula. (this might have worked, but
Excel does not treat an apostrophe the same from an export as it does
if you typed it in directly)
<%response.write "'"%> <% response.write desc_text1%>
Soliciting all ideas!
Also, if you have any ideas on how to isolate and identify the
specific record and character(s) that is causing the error, that would
be great. I have it narrowed down to a record set of 600 records, and
the error occurs if I include beyond the 130th character position. The
problem does not occur if I use CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(129))
I have a form that has the option to upload a file at the bottom. If you select a file it works fine but if you leave file selection blank the forms bombs. This is not how I want it to work. On the form you need to use ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in the form tag.
On the processing page I need to use Set to assign a variable to the form data. I tried using IF on the variable assigned to the file path but it bombs out telling me "This function is not supported". Is there any other way I can check to see if curQes has a value assigned to it?

I have some ASP server-side code that works perfectly when the client is running on Windows (IE, Netscape, Firefox, etc.) but doesn't work at all when the client is running on Macintosh (IE, Omniweb, Safari, etc.) This is the client-side Javascript code:
View Replies View RelatedI have a series a forms that submit data to different tables in a database. As it stands, when a user completes FORM 1 and clicks the SUBMIT button, the FORM 1 data is submitted (action = form2.asp, method = post) to ASP code at the top of FORM 2 (request.form("form1 field name") etc...), and submitted to the database with SQL code, also at the top of FORM 2(INSERT into...). Hence the submit button on FORM 1 directs the user to FORM 2, and submits the data which is exaclty what I wanted. However, I now need the users to submit multiple sets of data with FORM 1, and direct them to FORM 2 once they have finished using FORM 1. Most importantly, I need to pass a few parameters from FORM 1 to FORM 2, and have these parameters submitted to the database.
My main problem is getting a fresh form1 after submiting the same form1, in preparation for anoter set of data using the same form. Basically, the database has 'one to many' relationship tables. Form1 and form2 are both populating the 'many' tables, so that each form needs to be filled-in several times while retaining the key field of the 'one' table. At the moment submiting form1 takes me to form2. Is is possible to submit the data to the database, get form1 back again to submit more data, as many times as required, then click another button to load form2 when the user is finished with form1?
Can anyone please give me some pointers? or at least explain the concept of what I need to do. I am a novice and it's taking me a while to get to this stage. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to post FORM1 to itself and insert the data (i.e. place the request.form at the top of FORM 1) If so, how do I direct users to FORM 2 while retaining my parameters?
am trying to make a carriage return of the following:
