however it displayes it in this format: May 12 2003 12:00AM
Is there a simple way of getting it in the mm/dd/yyyy format without reading it in as a string first? I mean can I just change something in the above code to do this?
I was trying the following but couldnt get it working, could you tell me how to use it in this context? Code:
As i write this post i have a variety of options to format my post such as bold, changing font, font colour, font size, putting text into paragraphs etc.
I am able to then preview all of this by clicking on "Preview Post". When i click on "Submit New Thread", my post gets stored inside a database (fully intact with paragraphs.)
I would very much appreciate anyone that can point me to script (prefferably ASP and javascript) to be able to do all of this including storing all the text fully intact (paragraphs) inside an access 2000 database.
how to display data that I have in an Access Database to be formatted in paragraph style when I have it written to my asp page - but does anyone know how I can format text to display as bolded or to show http:// as a hyperlink?
I am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<% Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell Response.write Recordset("Legislation") Response.write "</td>"'close first cell Response.write "<td>"'open second cell Response.write Recordset("Repealed") Response.write " " Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date") Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record Loop %>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?
Im looking for an online site that I can format or tidy ASP pages. If any one also knows of a software application that can format asp /html pages id be greatfull of that link too.
I'm having users enter a message into a textarea, but I'm having problems with the formatting. How do I add " " characters where they have pressed enter?
This is being entered into a MySQL database, so I have already replaced the ' with '.
I am requesting a variable for the users' network username:
<%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>
This returns the following:
NETWORKJ.Bloggs
Instead I would like it to return J.Bloggs on it's own with out the "NETWORK" bit so basically I am saying how do I cut out the first 8 characters of a variable.
I have users typing in information into a text box. Sometimes this information can be lengthy and contain simple formatting such as spacess between lines and line numbering. For example:
1. List item number one
2. List item number two
I then have a report page that prints out this information. Unfortunately, the line spacing doesn't show up in the report. It's just all jumbled together. I'm just using <%= Notes %> to show the db field. Is there a way that I can show the formatting that was originally entered or do I need to use some kind of word processor like I am using to type this post?
I would like to know how to format phone numbers and ssn numbers in textbox. That is when I enter the phone number, it is going to the database as 000,000,0000. I want to have it as either 0000000000 or 000-000-0000. Likewise, for ssn also. I am really fed up with javascript, somehow, it doesn't work well for me. Always, get page errors and it is not that easy to find out the errors in javascript.....
I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like "12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm lost ...
When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically, I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite vexing to some of my clients.
It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.
On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options anywhere.
I'm currently doing some work with ASP and XML DOM.
Is there any way when saving XML to get ASP to save it in a formatted way? Similar to PHP's formatOutput setting? At the moment my xml is being appended on line e.g
<test>1</test><test>2</test> Is there a setting to get ASP to save XML like:
<test>1</test> <test>2</test>
The XML document I'm working on is fairly large and its proving very difficult to read through the xml at the moment.
I am needing to response.write a variable within a snippet of Javascript. My Javascript code that I need to response.write with the variable is below:-Code:
response.write ("imageArray[ImageNum++] = new imageItem(image_dir + ""variable here"");")
I can response.write the static Javascript string fine. The problem arises when I try and state a variable into where it says, 'variable here' The variable I need to include is Code: rs.Fields("ImgURL") Would someone please be able to show me the correct formatting for this Javascript string which includes the variable.
Is it possible to have line feeds/breaks automatically entered when the text wraps to a new line? I am using a <textarea> input on a form and using the <pre> tag when displaying the text to a html page (embedded in a .asp page). The text is being saved to a sql database. Returns seem to be displayed. But the wrapped text just displays as one long line.
I have a SQL 2000 table with data I display in three columns. The code I am using sorts the data horizontally but I need it sorted vertically. Here's the code I am using. Perhaps somebody can help me find a way to modify it.CODE
response.write "<table width='100%' cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0>" if not oMain.eof then count = 0 do while not oMain.eof if count mod 3 = 0 then 'there are 3 in the current row, so end the row and start a new one...
I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only, not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in ASP/VBScript by using the datevalue function. This results in values such as 3/31/2006, 4/3/2006, and 4/14/2006. The problem is, the ones with the single digit date (4/3/2006 in the sample data I just listed) messes up Excel's sorting capabilities. How can I force the dates to display in a 2-digit date format? It would probably be good to do the same for the month.
OK, I know about FormatPercent and it changes a decimal into a percentage, but is there an analagous function to change a percentage into a decimal value?
I have an ASP site pulling from a SQL Server. When I pull a text field from the database into a text area, it keeps the formatting. If I pull the data from the database on a response.write, all of the formatting is lost. how can I prevent this from occuring?
I have a report that I render out as PDF. I have two sections in my Details section of the report. I want to format the background of each section. so one half will be one colour and the other half will be a different colour.
Anyone know how I can do this?My Details section simply consists of labels and database fields.
I am using the response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"----Works GREAT! I send all my SQL querie info from my asp page to an excel spreadsheet. Now what I need to know is there some fuctions I can use to set all the format parameters of the spreadsheet i.e. font style and size, columns to autofit!!
I'm passing a query string from one script to the other via a hidden input. Right now I'm just response.writing the query string out to make sure the query is getting there.
The query string will display no problem if the query has no single quotes ( ' ) i.e. returns: SELECT * from table WHERE int_field = 123 ORDER BY id
But when the query contains quotation marks to handle text it chokes, i.e. returns: SELECT * from table WHERE text_field =
when this should be:
SELECT * from table WHERE text_field = 'textvalue' ORDER BY id
I've tried various arguments with the REPLACE function, but can't get it to work...
I made a simple update page for people post quick messages. However, I'm having problems on formatting. Before I insert into the MySql database, I replace all the ' with ', but how do I keep it looking the way they typed it?I need to know how to enter where they pressed enter, etc. Once it gets inserted, it mashes the whole string together.
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'm having a problem getting a number to display correctly. The number is the result of a calculation and I am then using formatnumber to remove any decimals.The number displays as '1,345' is there any way to get rid of the comma.
