Extracting Data From Browser (in ASP "FORM")
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?

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.

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.

Is it possible to extract data from SQL server to MS Excel ? Say if I have 2 tables (Membership and Profile) and extract some certain datas from those 2 tables; MemberID, Member Name, Birthday, Interest; could it be possible to extract them automatically everyday at 1 AM without me doing it manually?
Perhaps its possible to do it with Stored Procedure? or some other means?

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 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 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?

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?

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'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!)

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.

I have a form which dynamically loads questions and answers depending on dept.
So the form input type has a value field of the actual answer text which is pulled from the database.
Sometimes the form can be 5 questions, sometimes more and sometimes less. So after the user submits the form, I gather the static input (ie. name, address, email, etc..) but
1. how do I loop to Request.Form for the dynamically generated answers if I dont know how many there may be?
2. How do I then take that data and use it in my Insert statement?
The questions with each answer will automatically generate the imput name field with the qid (question ID) which could be 1-?

Does anyone know of anything or any issues that may cause HTML form box (shopping cart) to reset or not keep its posted value?
out of approx 2000 users, only 15 are having this issue and the common thing between them is using Mac's (Different browsers but mostly IE5 and Safari. even made one install latest firefox) instead of PCs.
Now I know this goes against everything I ever knew about SERVER SIDE SCRIPTING, but im really reaching for straws.

I am developing a program now. This program has a front page for user to select a project. After the user hit "submit" bttion, he will go to another page which has a top menu.
User can see different part of project information by clicking there. I hope no matter in which order the user click on the items in the top menu, it will show the record based on this project until he select a different project. To realize this function, should I use cookies, or there are better ways to do that? It will be very helpful if someone can provide some sample code here.
