When I click on the link How Internet Explorer understand that it's a Word
Document and It's necessary open it with Microsoft Word ? Is The extension
to give the necessary information to Internet Explorer ?
Where does IE look for the application to use to open the file on the server
? On the local registry ?
I have tried to rename Mydoc.doc in MyDoc.pdf and I have called
http://MyServer/MyDoc.pdf and the browser has opened Acrobat Reader but the
binary format is for Microsoft Word.
Does the Browser User an Http_Header sended automatically ? (for example
HTTP_FILE_NAME....IF IT EXISTS)
2)Now I have the following link:
http://MyServer/ReturnMyDoc.asp
It returns the binary data of MyDoc.doc file. Now I want to say to the
browser that the file is called MyDoc.doc (I don't want to use Content Type
= ms-application/msword) : is there a header to say this to Internet
Explorer ?
As I get further and further into ASP/VBscript I realize I just don't undertstand how to properly use single/double quotes at the same time. This is really holding me back. If anyone can help me understand this better or know some good articles I would appreciate it. My current problem is adding a logo to my page from the database. What quotes are needed inside my <img> tag. Code:
I searched the forum but I am still a little confused regarding the global.asa file. I created a global.asa file and it is in the root of the virdual directory. I then created a sub to initially connect to a datase such as: Code:
This problem occurs in classic ASP on a simple asp page I am writing.I am trying to output a random number using VBScript's Rnd() function.Whenever I refresh my browser, the same number appears(0.7055475).This happens in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. This is all I'm doing:
<%Response.Write(Rnd)%>
I have pressed F5 to refresh, cleared both browser caches,and even restarted IIS.I was under the impression that a psuedo-random number would at least change values when I refreshed my browser.Does anyone know what the deal is with Rnd() not producing different numbers?
I'm coding a shopping cart in asp. I store all info about ordered items, customer's coordonates, etc. into cookies. When the order is complete I use "CDONTS.NewMail" to send an order confirmation's email, where all items and details are listed for the customer. As to retreive all these info a code reads all info stored in the cookies. If a run my code under Firefox and Konqeror , all works well and the sent email contains all info.
So, I wrote a code to read all cookies on the page before opening the page that generates the email to the customer, then when tested, all the cookies and session variables can be read. Under i.e.,if the same code is run in the page generating the email, it returns empty session variables and some cookies are missing or are now empty or can't be read!If it is tested under Firefox and Konqeror all cookies and session variable are stil there.
The Gecko based browsers change this URL to read "Validation BookingNo=1234567" and of course they get a 404 Error as a result. The above code works on every other browser without fault. So why do Gecko based browsers have a problem. Is Gecko just nother work for this software.
And then use their second example the clientcap.htm and clientcap.asp section. Then fire up clientcap.asp and watch the Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers crash.
we are using internet explorer 6, reading information from w2k iis asp. users are opening two browsers so they can keep two sessions open with different information. It is rare, but sometimes the the non-active browser will use the session varibles from the active one. We have deleted local content and cookies with no affect. any thoughts?
I use the following code which simulates the browsers' back button. window.history.back(), but whenever i use this , i get a "404 page not found error . is this related to browser settings?
I am writing a basic tournament submit site for a poker tournamen group I am in. The situation is we want to use code to calculate wha we owe other members at the end of the week. The way I figured to d this is read from the database and store tournament numbers in an arra then run a query for each tournament and cycle through the tournamen data assigning the information where needed. I can not find if you ca or how you can use a Typedef in ASP. Pretty much I want to create type then make an array of that type. ie: Code:
I'm running PWS on a Windows ME machine to do some WAP development. I need to set up some mime types so that PWS can deal with .wml .wbmp and .wmls WAP files.
I'm told this can be done by either via the Folder Options -> File Types from a Windows Explorer or by editing the registry. I've tried both of these but to no avail.
does the data type varchar allow numbers and characters, or just one, also if this does not allow both numbers and characters what data type can i use to do this.
Assume I have three types of users. Type I can only Read Posts. Type II can Read and Edit. And Type III can Read, Edit and Delete Posts.
Now to manage this, do I need to make three different users in my DB or should I just use ASP to determine that what permissions should every user have. For example, Type I users will not have the edit and delete button on thier screens and Type II users won't have delete button on their screens and Type three would have all three buttons.
Even if I make different users in my DB (assuming it's necessary for security), so how would I determine that what connection string should I connect a specific user with since we have to give the user name and password on the ADODB connection string?
I pass a table name into my program dynamically. I could display the data by looping through the object.Fields for both the field name and the field data using object.GetRows. What I have not figured out is if there is a way to figure out from the Fields what type of field (ie. Numeric, Text) it is. Certainly I could check the actual data once it is read, but is there a way to figure out the field type without doing that? Perhaps an object property of a recordset that I am not familiar with?
Why am I only able to create 60 currency type fields in Access 2002 (Build 10.4302.6735) SP3? If I try to create more than 60 Currency type fields, I will get an error that says, "Too Many Fields Defined. Errors were encountered during the save operation. Data types were not changed." What if I need more currency type fields - like about 32 more? Do I need to create two separate related tables?

I'm currently using a document upload script and saving the filename to a database field as such: Code:
RS("Title") = Form("SourceFile").FileName
What I'm trying to do is evaluate that files type (ie. doc, xls, txt...) and fill in another database field with just the document type or a variable representing it. Is there a way to just strip off the last three letters of the form input and save that seperately?
I have a selection of MP3's on my website, (non-copyrighted of course), I have an asp page that list the directory of MP3's which then provides a link to another ASP page to force download the file.
Up until the weekend just gone, this worked fine, but now it only downloads a 0 byte file.
Obviously my code hasn't changed, so has anyone any other ideas whats gone wrong or another way the force download of a known mime type can be acheived.
I have a form with 3 submit buttons that uses Javascript to determine which of the three buttons were pressed, appends the appropriate querystring to the end of the action value of the form before submitting it. eg
if add was clicked then the action would be; process.asp?query=add
Inside process.asp I have a switch statement that should check the value of the querystring and execute the appropriate SQL query. Here is the code:
I am trying to use a query to filter SQL Server 2000 records by a date value.
Here is relevant columns in my database table (tblContent):
title [nvarchar] starting [smalldatetime]
.... and here is my query:
Query = "SELECT title FROM tblContent WHERE starting = '" & date & "'"
I've done exactly this query on numberous occassions in the past with no problems at all but this time I get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E07) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.
What on earth is going on? I'm not using a char data type anywhere! I am doing all the initial development locally and I have just installed XP Service Pack 2. I realise it's unlikely, but that's the only thing I can possibly attribute it to. Or am I just missing something obvious?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GET_CategoryCurrentNewsList] @Category VARCHAR AS
BEGIN
SELECT dbo.News_Joined.NewsTitle, dbo.News_Joined.NewsID FROM dbo.News_Joined WHERE (dbo.News_Joined.StartDate <= GETDATE()) AND (dbo.News_Joined.EndDate >= GETDATE()) AND (dbo.News_Joined.CategoryID IN (@Category))
END GO
dbo.news_Joined.CategoryID is an INT, and @Category is a string such as (1000, 1010, 1020). However, no results are returned. I figured I had to do something to do some string conversions from INT to VARCHAR or something, but I can't use CSTR. I do not know how many numbers will be passed to @Category, so making seperate variables isn't an option.
My asp/sql server application gets an error, but only when you use the Excel export option:
<% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %> (very popular w/ users)
I think somebody entered a string of characters that Excel does not like:
So I believe (but not sure) some character(s) in a Ntext sql server field "desc_text" is confusing the Excel file and causing it to error (and crashes Excel)
So far, I have attempted three fixes with no success
1) Tried to convert the data type in the SQL query: CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(255))
2) Tried to convert the data type in the vbscript: <% desc_text1 = Cstr(rs.fields.item("desc_text").value)%>
3) Tried append an apostrophe to the beginning of the field so that Excel would not read it as a formula. (this might have worked, but Excel does not treat an apostrophe the same from an export as it does if you typed it in directly)
Also, if you have any ideas on how to isolate and identify the specific record and character(s) that is causing the error, that would be great. I have it narrowed down to a record set of 600 records, and the error occurs if I include beyond the 130th character position. The problem does not occur if I use CAST(sr.desc_text AS VARCHAR(129))
