bodytext="this is some text http://www.sitepoint.com/ this is some more text"
response.write(bodytext)

Imported Time Formating
I am importing a time into a sql datetime field from a text datafile using vbscript in an asp file. The time coming in will look like 8:00 or 3:30 or some other similar thing.
Because it is doesn't have am or pm associated with it, I have to force the issue or sql will assume am all of the time, and I am sure that no judge in our county is going to hear a case in the middle of the night!
So I have to add 12 hours to anthing that could be an afternoon time before I add it to the database to keep it from looking stupid in the display screens.

i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
Combining 2 Sql Strings
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
Placing Strings Onto Url
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?
" And ' In SQL Strings
I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.

Connection Strings
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
Comparing Strings
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:

temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedSearch Strings...
I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

Strings With Quotes In
< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"
value="<%=strPageTitle%>" >
How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

Well, that`s just a simple level 100 quiz aiming to imprint ""standard random number generators are not really random"" program to those who still lack it. What will produce the following C# snippet? ‘ ....
Now I am reading these values via ASP and need to print them out.

I am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?
