Formatting Of Text Inputed For Database
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.

I used the following code to replace them:
response.write Replace(rs_classes.Fields.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value, VbCrLf, "<br />")

So I tried the follwoing: Code:

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 been having problems with an ASP page that extracts a newsletter from an Access DB. The record in the database has the proper format, meaning that after a paragraph, you can see that the enter key was pressed twice.
Problem is that when the newsletter is shown on the internet, all of the paragraphs have been run together. I don't know why this is happening.

I am currently using a combination of classic ASP and Access for coming up with a ride reports system for my cycling club - I have a control panel on the website which allows admin members to update the database via forms boxes (especially multi-line boxes)
However, the only problem I am having is that when in the control panel when I include text (with line spaces), and submit this to my Access database (in a Memo field), the output doesn't include any paragraphing or line spaces and it comes out in one unwieldy block of text. way that I can include paragraph formatting within this method?

I made a website using ASP and MS Access in the back-end. One of the functions of the website is to post some news by using a web based form. Copy, paste, submit and voila! It works fine, However, Since it is mainly text that is pasted on the form, I would like to be able to keep the original formatting of the text and not to have it displayed, as is now, all together without spaces. Can anyone tell me how to achieve that wonderfull thing. Is it an Access problem or an ASP thing?

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:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.

Is it possible to store html tags in a database field so that when data is retrieved from this field the formating is retained? For example I have an address field in my database, which I return using:
<p><%=(rsType.Fields.Item("DAT_Address").Value)%>
However they are times where I may want to have my city, state etc on seperate lines by using <br>, but right now if I store a <br> in my database it does not affect the formating of my displayed address.

Question about the performance of using an include file or reading from a text file compared to hitting the database.
I set up a client's web site so they can post a weekly message and also post a "of special interest" message on their home page. Originally these messages were stored in and retrieved from an Access 2000 database. I decided to try writing the messages to a text file then retrieving it through include file and also tried the text streaming object.
I used netmechanic.com to gauge the download times for all three methods on a 56K modem. According to the results, using the database was around 4 seconds quicker. Does this sound right? The site is on a shared hosting package using Win2000.

I'm trying to write a page that will accept form POST method variables from another page and save them to an Access database via a DSN connection. I'm using code like this:
<%
SQL = "INSERT INTO myTable (postVar1,postVar2,postVar3)"
SQL = SQL & " VALUES ('" & request.form("postVar1") & "','" & request.form("postVar2") & "','" & request.form("postVar3") & "')"
dsnConn.execute(mySQL)
%>
I'd like to make sure that I clean up the text that the user inputs before trying to send it to the database. Can someone please give me an example of what ASP code I need use to get rid of quotes, slashes, and anything else a user could enter that might mess up the SQL insert?

I'm trying to put some text into the database using ADODB.Command object. Seems like a reasonable thing to do and I can do it. But in this instance my text is an HTML code which contains many quotes. But i have to save it as is into the database field.
I use:
INSERT INTO (f1, f2) VALUES (v1, v2) comand. But since my v2 contains some quotes in it, (many quotes), I get an error. (it works otherwise). Is there any way ?

I have two columns in my microsoft access database.
1st column is company_logo (jpg image)
2nd column is company_name (text)
I want to build a form, a dropdown box which I would populate with the help of a sql statement from my database. The both columns from up there are associated.
When the user clicks on that dropdown box, I need that company_logo and company_name to be shown one beside another. It should list all the companies availible (taken from that sql statement or recordset).
Does anyone knows if this could be done?
Maybe I should stick just with the textual part?

I'm using Access Database with ASP. There is one particular thing that I
have issue with.
My purpose is for user to update their own profile. Their existing profile
information will be display in Edit Form format. The problem is if the field
has space, the second word will not display, when I display in input text
format.
E.g if My first name "User_FirstName" in my table has entry, let say "David
Johnson" as FirstName, when I execute following code and do a input text, it
will display "David" only. Code:

I've got a simple template based ASP page which pulls information in one of several different languages from an Access database.
The copy I have in the database is fine. All languages - including the Japanese are displaying correctly when I look at them in Access. However, when I pull the Japanese text from the database, each character renders in the browser as '???????'.
I've tried different HTML encoding, but nothing seems to make a difference.
