I did a search about inserting names that have apostrophe, and found something about escape apostrophe? how to do that? When the user tries to insert a name with an apostrophe it blows up. Also the delete page I have doesn't like names with apostrophes in the where clause.
View RepliesWhen I insert info into a DB from a form, it cuts the string off at the first apostrophe (").
How would I make it insert the data as-is, with the apostrophes? Here is the code used to insert the Data:
if its possible in dreamweaver ultradev4 to create a pop-up box where i can select multiple names which can then be added to another field on a sepearte page. This popup page needs to be dynamic as new users are added to the database daily.
Basically its the way that hotmail handles the address book. The user clicks a button to view the address book, they select the people they want to send it to, then click ok & all of those names appear in the 'to' box.
I put in some code to keep apostrophes from being a problem. However, on the
display page, they have double quotes. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the code on the page which captures the data from the form, right
before it gets entered into the database:
------------------------------------------
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''"),vbCrLf,"<br>")
------------------------------------------
then, on the page where it gets displayed, I get:
I have an apostrophe in an access database in a name. e.g. O'Brien. When I read this value back into some script the apostrophe seems to be terminating my script.Unless of course I have mis-understood what's going on
Are there any rulesguidelines for this sort of data handling
Been a while since I've done any asp coding, but happy to be getting back
into it. My question is what is the best way (now) to handle apostrophes
coming in from forms and going into the database? I remember I used to use
a replace function replacing single quotes with two single quotes in one of
my old apps.
Is this still the best way, use this function on all fields I
think an apostrophe may come in, or on all fields? Or should I use a
javascript regular function (which may not even work due to a client
disabling this feature on their browser)?
I need to insert field data with apostrophes into Access. However, I keep getting "object expected" errors when I post. I heard about using the replace function like this:
var incidentlocation = Replace(Request.Form("incidentlocation"), "'", "''");
but I get the "object expected" error. What I am doing wrong? My code is below in the text file.
I have a page where students can choose activities in a day... this then directs them to their timetable for that day.
However, if they go back to the choose.asp page and they have already registered, I redirect them to timetable.asp - because I don't want them to change their options.
I have their username stored as a session variable and it works fine for most students - however for the example student O'SMITH-JONESMark the page falls over.
I am using Dreamweaver's 'redirect if username exists' server behaviour. Code below... Can anyone tell me how to fix this so the code is not tripping up over the odd characters? Code:

I have a web application which saves files to a server and emails the file as an attachment. I generate a unique name for each file by concatenating a unique numeric string so the file name is unique and cannot be accidentally be overwritten. I also store the original name of the file. Is there any way to rename the attachment when I send it so it doesn't have the unique name but rather the orignal one.

I am planning my next move on my current website and am looking at doing the following. I am adding a feature where as a database can be viewed on the web page as this has been requested for me to do.
I am pretty sure i can do this without a problem except for getting all of the table names. Is there an SQLQ command where you can say
SELECT (ALL TABLE NAMES) FROM DATABASE.
Antoher way to look at it is to have a seperate table in each of the databases to hold all of the table names.

View Replies View RelatedI have two temporary variables that are equal to folder paths. The first temporary variable could equal one folder name or multiple folder names depending upon an if statement so "" & fldr1 & "" & folder.name & "" will not work.
Is it possible to combine both into a third temporary variable? Example:
TempPath1 = "" & fldr1 & ""
TempPath2 = "" & folder.name & ""
FullTempPath = TempPath1 & TempPath2
FullPath = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(FullTempPath))
We have a script the will grab names from a form and display them on the next page but will only get a max of 60 to 80 names depending on the total number of characters of each name.
Can anyone guide us on how to create a script, where if a user copies and pastes 5000 names or email addresses into a form and clicks submit, we can then grab each name and display individually on the next page?
Does anyone know of a script or library that provides a way to match first names with common nicknames or shortened forms?

View Replies View RelatedI have built input fields inside a while not.eof loop
and the name is built from using <%="name"&i%> and the value is a product_id
from the database.the i is then incremented in the loop, resulting in <input name="name1, <input name="name2
and so on. this works no probs, however i haven't got a clue on how to collect this dynaimcally named
input field when it arrives at the form action address page.
I was thinking some kind of for loop but am not sure, and again am not sure where to put the <%="name"&i%> bit
to count or grab the input fields info.

I have a "csv file" as a database.
The 1st row contains the field names:

I have a dynamic form sending information via name=value pairs.I know I can read the value of each element in the sending form by using the following....
for i = 1 to request.form.count
response.write "<p>" & request.form(i)

but since it's a dynamic entry page (it's built based on number of fields in a database), I need to know the name of each element also.not just the value.Is there a good way to get the "name" portion of the element on the form without having to parse through the request.form string?
I am using the Folder.Files collection to display all the images in a given
directory. The following shows the code I use to create and use this
collection:
Set myfilesys=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set mydirectory=myfilesys.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("./emoticons"))
When I use a specific file name to access a file, my code works fine:
<img src=" & Chr(34) & mydirectory.Name & "/" &
mydirectory.Files("blinkgirl.gif").Name & Chr(34) & ">
However, I want to iterate through all the files in the Folder USING NUMBERS
(I already know how to do it using a For Each statement). But whenever I try
to do this, I receive an error:
<img src=" & Chr(34) & mydirectory.Name & "/" & mydirectory.Files(5).Name
& Chr(34) & ">
Other collections, such as the Request.Form collection allow you to access
the collection using either text or numbers, and all books that I have read
have said that this is true for all collections. Is the Folder.Files
collection an exception to this? Is there something else I need to do?
