Extracting Text From Remote Site
I'd like to do the above, ideally in javascript but i'm aware of the security restrictions with accessing the DOM of a file not hosted on the same server - however i'm not looking to manipluate anything on the remote site, or handle any events (such as keylogging!). All i want is to have a piece of text on the remote site dupicated on my own site.
I'm happy to receive the html as a whole and split it up to get what i want, but i'm beginning to think the way forward is doing it server-side with asp.
Anyone know the best way to do this?
OR am i just being silly and there is a way to copy the contents of a remote page into my own page in javascript, split it up and only display what i need.
(btw im quite happy with the splitting up bit, no help needed there - i just need the blasted text in the first place!)

Is there a way of extracting only part of an entry retrieved from a SQL database. For instance, if I have an article of 4000 characters can I extract only the first line of the article and them put a link to the full article after the extracted text.
It is something I have been trying to master and will help me display my retrieved recordset data better.

I have to make a site search function for my website. User types a keyword, and the search function searches through all the static pages for the keyword. The result of the search has to display the URL relating to the keyword, which the user can click to read the contents.
I had no idea how to go about doing it, finally I thought of using a textfile containing the word, and its related URL in the format: Code:

we have a site, that has a link to a online PC cart that we are registered with. Trouble is, when the user goes to the other site, we obviously no longer have our interface wrapped around the page.
We can do this with an iframe, but it wont vertically stretch the content (a scroll bar appears). Is there any way in ASP, to call a url, and say, insert that url into a <td></td> on our page?

Not a problem with my code, but something I would like to add, (ASP
VBScript) at the moment I have a form where a user uploads their details
including a document (Doc, PDF, TXT, Docx) The document is uploaded to a
folder on the server with the address being stored in the database and I'm
tracking the user id through sessions.
What I would like to do after the upload is redirect to a blank page, where
some script extracts the data from the document and inserts it into another
field on the database associated with the user id, I think this may be called
parsing, but I'm at a complete loss, I don't suppose you guys have any ideas
on this do you.

we have a database with a lot of products in it. and for some reason one fo the feilds is set up like "<img src="images/something/image.jpg" />". they should be set up without the html but because of the way they are set up theres no way i can use them outside of the root directory.
I need a way to just pull the first 10 characters off the string. which would be the <img src=" part, and then pull off the last 4 characters " />. so that i am just left with images/something/image.jpg.
I can sort of get the first part to work by using Mid(string,10)
but how can i remove the last 4 characters?
in php the function would do the ending characters if you made it a negative number. but Mid(Mid(string,10),-4) doesnt seem to work.

Is there a way of processing an ASP page and placing the resulting HTML
source code into a TEXTAREA on another page?
I have a page that will be generated dynamically from database content.
However, I want a form on another page to have access to the compiled source
code for use in an electronic newsletter.
Manually I would load the dynamic page, view the source and copy it out. I
would then paste it into my form field on the relevant page.

I have a website where people can add job vacancies to our database. In the admin section I can delete these vacancies but have trouble with selecting certain dates from the database.
For example if I wanted to delete all the jobs from the database for the 18/12/2003 I would select the date then all the jobs will appear on the screen and I can delete them. But if I select a date such as 06/12/2003 or 11/12/2003 it doesnt display anything from the database when I know there are a couple of hundred in there for those dates.

I am to build a site onto an ASP server. Anyone here used Dreamweaver and is it just a simple matter of opening up a new ASP page in Dreamweaver and build the site like you would normally do with a HTML page and it will handle the ASP coding accordingly and you can just simply upload it onto an ASP server and it will work?
The site I am to build is basically just a standard html website, but my friend wants me to build it for an ASP server so he has asked me to make sure it is an asp site so I am presuming with the extension .asp
If I build it as a html site to begin with, will converting it to asp be hard. Could I just export my pages into asp or is there more to it?
Can a Html website be loaded and working on an asp server or host?
Is it possible to have a site mixed both html and asp, eg. the home page is html and when you click on shopping cart on the home page it goes to a hopping cart page thats .asp or do they all have to have the same extension.

I am trying to add a feature to our inventory that will pass the current URL to a second site so that I can return to the original site later through a redirect. Basically, it is intended to work like this - you do a search, and are taken to a page where you can view the records.
You click on a record to view it and/or update it, and then you are returned to the original search results. I am having some trouble, and am hoping that someone can help me out.
I am placing the values that I want to keep (original URL, search terms, sort order, page number) into a string, and then using Server.URLEncode to encode it: Code:

I have a bunch of html stored in a session variable. It's just a long string of html. I want to parse it to extract certain things out of it. I'm assuming I would use the Left, Mid and Right functions. But don't know exactly how to do it. Plus I need to find the information in the session variable too.

Whenever I do a site that is mostly static but with some semi-dynamic
sections, I've struggled to find a good site search solution without
paying for a hosted search service.
I like the FSO-based search engines, but they fail to pick up on some of
the dynamic part.
I was just creating a Google sitemap and it made me wonder: has anyone
created or seen a script that uses the XML Google sitemap to power a
search engine for your own site?
Seems like if you were keeping it updated for Google, why not use it for
your own site?

Since most todays' applications are Online (ASP using COM apps/server back-end), sometimes client-browsers need to download data into their PC.
Scenario: A client-browser (IE, ONLINE.ASP) is doing transaction online.... say Invoicing via an ASP page, then it disconnected (DSL connection failure). At this stage, the user will have to do "manual" writing of item sold and when the connection returns... the user will use the browser again.
Question: Can I download data from the Server to the client-browser using a simple click of "Submit" button? Say I would like to download only itemBarcode, itemDesc and itemPrice from the client.... so that anytime the DSL connection fails, the user will execute instead OFFINE.ASP that uses client side programs.
Option: Is there any other option that I could do to have an "offline" transaction processing?

I have an application i am creating that will require the ability for a remote site to access some of the abilities of the program.
For example: Program will have a product manager and the webmaster will need to be able to place the product information on his/her remote site.
another funtion: the remote site will need to pass variable data back and forth between the application hosting server and webmasters site.
I have thought about using cookies or XML but cookies are kinda limited in respect to what i need and XML requires an XML enabled browser like IE 5+.
Am I missing something? any ideas on how i can accomplish this
