I have some values that I want to display as percent, such as the
retail price/wholesale price. In some instances, the wholesale price
is zero, so I get a division by zero error.
What can I do to avoid this?
Also, how can I get this to only show two decimals, instead of it
going .##### the way it does. I want it to look like .45%
When I do something like this:
AllRevenueAttnAnnual = Result1 % Result2
I get an error - Invalid character
I am trying to dive Result1 by result2.
I'm trying to divide a filesize in bytes by 1024 so I'll get a filesize in Kb. I want a round number but instead i'm getting a result of ten decimals. Who knows how solve this?
View Replies View Relatedi know, this shouldnt be a conundrum right? one just shouldnt divide by zero. but this is suddenly happening *all over* my site. after chasing the error here and there, i simplified things down to:
response.write cstr(4/2)
response.end
and i STILL get the error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000b'
Division by zero
[followed by the line on which the error occurs]
so i know it's not my code. how can you get a division by zero error when you'r dividing with CONSTANTS??? did i change some obscure setting or something?now mind you, i tried "response.write cstr(4+2)" and the system managed to output "6".
I have the following code in a script:
' Pecentage Interest on Loan
YearlyInterestPercent = 6.5
' Get Annual Interst Rate from Interest Percentage
YearlyInterestRate = YearlyInterestPercent / 100
' Divide Yearly Interest Rate by 12
' to Get Monthly Interst Rate
MonthlyInterestRate = YearlyInterestRate / 12
These values are supplied by the user using a form but I made them static for this example. For some reason, when dividing the Yearly Interst rate by twelve, MonthlyInterestRate equals 5.41666666666667E-03. The result should be 0.005416667. Does anyone know what I can do to correct this?
I would like to be able to control the downloading of (my own)music files from my music site other than letting the user right click and "Save target As" on a hyperlink.
"Save Target As" must issue a command of some sort to the server. I would like to be able to issue that command myself under program control.

I am passing a sql string thru my querystring for the next page to
capture.
example: www.xxxxxxxx.com/index.asp?str=select * from table where name

Passing a basic string works fine. But, when I use the LIKE statement it
does not work. I know it's because of the % sign, so how do I translate
this thru, so that the following page picks up the percent sign?

View Replies View RelatedMy application runs on ASP and the business logic is embedded in Dlls written in VB.

I would like to denote a friendly url to these articles such as "http://mysite/articles/kb_TaxPlanning.asp". I am thinking of using an ISAPI filter to do the work for me.

View Replies View RelatedI have a database class that I've been starting to use with my ASP apps and I was wondering about having too many database connections on one page. I'm beginning to write other classes that use the database class to reach into a table and pull data out.
Say for instance I have these classes:
Database
Users
News
Reviews
All of these classes have a method like getUserByID() or getNewsByID() but they are all using a private database object from the Database class.
Are they all using the same connection behind the scenes (underneath ASP) or are they all actually using separate connections? And if in fact they are using different connections then is there a common design patterns that alleviates the pressure by passing around the same DB object?
It makes me a bit uncomfortable to know that every class is creating a new Database object and a new connection on top of that; however, if you were pulling data from a MS SQL database for the users and an Access (ugh) database for the Reviews this would be necessary.
I'm trying to query a set of data from MSSql which contains field type "text" for unlimited length of characters.
I make a query and store the data into a recordset. However, soon as the page try to access the unlimited field, it seems as if the recordset looses all the data it was holding.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem? or what's causing this? I dont even get an error msg. It just doesn't show anything as if there was nothing there.
I am accessing the same error-containing ASP page on an ISP server using w2k IE6 but with different effect. On the first computer I get several line of HTML outputed by ASP, shown correctly by the browser, followed by a descriptive error message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000b'
Division by zero
followed by the number of the error-making line. On the second machine my HTML is not displayed at all. Instead I am getting that meaningless error page sayng that The page cannot be displayed, HTTP 500 - Internal server error. How can I get the second computer be more informative about the errors?
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?

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.

View Replies View Relatedi have a date in the following format: 12/1/2003
how do i reference just the 'day' portion of this date - in other words '1'
if the date was 12/10/2003, then i would just want the '10'
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 have one string variable and value stores something

quotes. i.e. it should display only
John Thomas

My Javascript code that I need to response.write with the variable is below:-Code:

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

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?
