I am going to design an auction site for a client but before getting into it I need some expert views. Here are somthing I need to know: Which DB is the best. I mean it should be cost-effective. Access, MSSQL or MYSQL? It should be able to handle huge number of request without loosing speed.
What are the concerns regarding security and what are the best ways to overcome security hazards. Anything else that may help me to give a world-class portal to my client.
I lack experience but am striving to learn (and earn). I have relied on this place before and it never dissappointed me. I am sure it won't dissappoint me this time as well.
I want to get reffering site info like if the way they got to the site is from google, While that is easy enough, of course, but I want to get that info after they have been on the site for a while, I was thinking that I could get the reffer in the session_onstart event, and make it a session var but that did not work, So I am looking for thoughts about this.
I wasn't sure where to post this question as there wasn't a general forum. I'm going to be building an auction site and I'm looking for online auction software... free or pay-for software. Something like a php, cgi or asp based web application or something else. I don't even know because I've never looked for something like this before. I found a cgi resource library (can't post a link because I'm a new user) , and I'm looking through the options, but they aren't all that great. I've also found a few other auction applications but I don't know much about them (i.e. if they are reliable, good software, still being developed, etc, etc): - xcAuction - rwAuction - Add Auction Software - SiteApps Auctions - phpBB Auction
I am creating a auction web site. I am using ASP on the front and SQL Server 2000 in the back. I am trying to figure out a way to get an auction to basically countdown until it reaches 0 seconds left, then to trigger a certain web page to tally who won.
Example:
Auction: HARLEY 2004 MOTORCYCLE Time: 5 days
So in exactly 5 days or 120 hours the auction needs to know that it has ended and trigger a page to decide the winner.
I am to build a site onto an ASP server. Anyone here used Dreamweaver and is it just a simple matter of opening up a new ASP page in Dreamweaver and build the site like you would normally do with a HTML page and it will handle the ASP coding accordingly and you can just simply upload it onto an ASP server and it will work?
The site I am to build is basically just a standard html website, but my friend wants me to build it for an ASP server so he has asked me to make sure it is an asp site so I am presuming with the extension .asp
If I build it as a html site to begin with, will converting it to asp be hard. Could I just export my pages into asp or is there more to it?
Can a Html website be loaded and working on an asp server or host?
Is it possible to have a site mixed both html and asp, eg. the home page is html and when you click on shopping cart on the home page it goes to a hopping cart page thats .asp or do they all have to have the same extension.
I have to pass form data from my site to another organizations site using POST method... how exactly do I do that? Im familiar with how to do it within a single site/domain, and cant use querystring... I dont know where to begin.
Whenever I do a site that is mostly static but with some semi-dynamic sections, I've struggled to find a good site search solution without paying for a hosted search service.
I like the FSO-based search engines, but they fail to pick up on some of the dynamic part.
I was just creating a Google sitemap and it made me wonder: has anyone created or seen a script that uses the XML Google sitemap to power a search engine for your own site?
Seems like if you were keeping it updated for Google, why not use it for your own site?
I need to know where I can get information about learning how to code in ASP. This getting cide snippets and such doesn't work out real well if you don't know what to configure. Also I would like to have my own work not someone elses.
In different examples I've seen different ways to do the same thing, and I want to know what is best (fastest, easiest to remember, same command for all types of stuff, etc)
For example, to get data from a database, should I use:
[VBS]set rs = conn.execute sqlstmt[/VBS] or [VBS]rs.Open sqlstmt, conn[/VBS] or something else?
I have a form that I use a few option selections from DB table and a insert script at the end.I'd like to have access to aditional info from the same table after choose an option
I am trying to retrieve data from a dropdown listbox in asp using:
<%Response.Write + Request.Form("cboBox")%>
The problem is that I only retrieve the first value of the option. For example, if my first option was <option value=this that>, I only can retrieve "this". It won't get the second word.
Recently, I came across a site with information to my area of knowledge. The pages have been designed and consist of the .asp extension in the url. I'm not able to select the text on the web page, either click right mouse button or anything to copy the information. when I'm trying to print it is not perfect. So, I would like to know from ASP guru's whether there is any way of saving the information on the web pages, so that the same can be formatted in a word document for printing purpose.
My web site is windows authenticated. When someone connect to my site, I get his SID with a small active X object which uses OpenProcessToken and GetTokenInformation (token user etc ...
But now, I also need the SID list from AD user object SIDHistory. (when a user is moved across domain).
I've got a WYSIWYG editor, that runs off a template page (i.e. template.htm) that gets opened in an iFrame for editing. How can I get it setup so I cange the template at the click of a button? I've tried doing a form with radio buttons, but can't get it to work. For example, the iframe source has been set to "strTemplate". My form processing was along the lines of:
<% If request.form "template" = "template1" then strTemplate = "template1.htm" Else strTemplate = "template.htm"
If request.form "template" = "template2" then strTemplate = "template2.htm" Else strTemplate = "template.htm"
Basically I want to be able to send users (if they sign up to it) an SMS alert whenever someone leaves them a message on a webpage. Similar to Hotmail where you can get an SMS when you receive an email, or Ebay where you can get alerts if you are outbid.
I'm thinking maybe something very similar to CDO in terms of coding Code:
im running an asp page where by i can upload a xls file- which adds data to a database provided it passed validation. this then sends a success message to the user. what i need is a button where i can call the data which was recently added into the database- but dont know how to go about it or code.
<% FOR EACH field IN size_info.FIELDS Response.write("<option value=''>" & replace(field.name, "asize", "") & "</option>") NEXT%>
to loop the names of the fields in a DB, but I cannot get it so that is the value of the data in that field is lower than 5 it simply doesn't show, i thought i might be this
<% FOR EACH field IN size_info.FIELDS if size_info.fields.name.value > 0 then Response.write("<option value=''>" & replace(field.name, "asize", "") & "</option>") end if NEXT%>
Is this the right forum for this. Considering using this but not sure, specially considering the price and I would need to add a host. If you have any knowledge please let me know. Also if this the right forum, also let me know and I will give more details. It is an ASP program of course.
Currently I have one asp page which opens after the proper ID entered by user and it generate <A> tag with application software download link. When the user click on the link (which is pointed to the actual physical file.EXE of Size around 10 - 20 MB) it downloads file. But how do i change the logic so that the activity will get LOG in some text file. Like which user has downloaded which file. (it should log into text file).
I think I need to remove the <A> for direct download instead it shoudl call an asp page whcih should log the event and push the file to user.suggest with sample code if possible.
When you hover over one of the topic in this forum a box appear with the first few lines of the message in it. How is this created. What events area used to creat something similar and does anyone know of any good website where i can look at a tutorial for it.
I dont even know what they are called so dont know what to search for even on the web as if i write pop up i get something else which i dont think is what i really want to use, or maybe it is.
I am working on a users system for my site. I have the databases and most of the pages set up. But, I need to create a page called "My Info". This page would display only the information of the person that is logged in.
I am curious as to how I would retrieve only one entry in an access database and display it based on the person logged in.
I have an intranet site hosted in IIS 5.0 Win2000, and want to display the name of the user logged into the local machines(WinXP) in the pages they access like 'Welcome JohniBravo'.
So, i used the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"), but get a blank ("") displayed in the page. And i even tried "REMOTE_USER" but, still the same. from somewhere i got to know that theres something called 'Allow anonymous user' should be enabled to get these info from servers. help me with the same?
if there is a way of verifying information that is in the registry of the user's computer? Or is there a way of checking if a file is on the c: of the user's computer?? I want to make a certain verification of who is entering my website.
but the IP address is never the same (since it is randomly given to the user) and I can't use the LOGON_USER variable because the users are not all in the same domain. And cookies are too easily destroyed with the IE options.
I never had this happen. When i display my database into a table it displays fine. But if i change the order of the columns some of them won't display. No error codes at all.
i'm using a SQL DB with char, text and datetime fields. What can be wrong?
Can anyone tell me how to set my rates for billing? I have a reasonable amount of HTML experience along with Java and JavaScript but I don't know where I can find salary/rate information for ASP design work.
