I am looking for a simple way to limit the amount of letters/Characters returned so that it does not throw off my pages styling. Basically I have the following: Code:
<%
Dim SomeVariable
response.write(SomeVariable)
%>
If that SomeVariable has 300 characters in it it will create a very large table that it displays in so, what I want to do is limit it to say 25 or 50 Characters and simply put like .... after it. Any Ideas?
I am looking to return the first 50 characters from a database field. Does anyone know if there is a SQL function that returns a defined amount of characters from a database field?
View Replies View RelatedI am required to prevent duplicate posts........how can i do this?? my database is MS Access and am using ASP.
Have been scratching my head fo quite some time now........cant figure out the logic.
I understand i cant limit it from the database....if possible i'd like to know how to handle the error that it would give with a page with message
or how can i compare the entry from the database before i post it
I have a database with about two thousand records, and I would like to only display about 50 per page. How would I go about doing this?
I have a hunch it has something to do with the <% Do While not objRS.EOF %> code?
How does one limit the amount of characters being entered into a <textarea>. I know we I can maxlength="50" an <input>, but what about a textarea?
View Replies View RelatedI'm using getrows to speed up data access time, i wonder though if there is a better way. Each recordset returns up to or more than 500 records, this is still quite an overhead for the server when there are lots of people on the site.
Rather than reading all 500 records into the array and then paging the results is it possible to create the recordset with just 25 entries?
ie if you are on page 1 then only the first 25 records are retrieved from the database, page 2 - records 25 - 49 are retrieved etc
or will this slow things down?
when a form is submitted which takes it to a process page, i have 2 seperate fields called hour and min to insert into a database field, basically what i want to do is run a check on the hour field to make sure it doesnt go higher then 23 if it does, return an error, also with the min field to not go above 59
View Replies View RelatedI have 40 different users. Each user manages a subset of the total database. Currently I have a pull-down menu to let the user select their subset and then manage the data within it. I'd like to use their login info to pre-select the subset so that they have access only to their assigned areas. How do I "send" the subset name from one asp page to another? the db is "2004" the table is "Students" .

Is there anyway to limit the number of records insterted to my SQL database from my asp pages to one.
I'm using the script below to limit a visitor at my site to only be able to post a form 5 times. I believe the reason I've received more e-mails is because the visitor closes their browser then opens a new one and they can post two times each time they do this.
<%
count = Request("count")
if count = "" Then
count = 0
Else
count = count + 1
End If
%>
<%
If count < 5 Then
%>
<a name="step5"></a><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<%
Else
%>
This form has been submitted 5 times. Please contact me for more information.
Can somebody show me how I can do this so it will only work twice within a 24 hour period even if the visitor closes their browser and opens a new one? I would think cookies be the answer to this but what happens if the visitor has cookies turned off? If this would be a good solution can somebody please help me out? I'm not familiar with cookies.
I'm developing a page in which different users have different rights within the site. I don't even know where to start with this one because searching for anything to do with "website", "user", "rights", "permissions" or anything along those lines gives me nothing but server file permissions.
What I'm trying to do is allow anybody with a username and password to sign in, then based on their security permissions they will be able to use certain functions of the website. I want all this to be modular though...
I don't want a million IF's in my asp code. What I'm looking for is to have a list of groups, each having a checklist of functions they can perform. Assign a user to a group, and they can do those tasks.

View Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to limit a query which is being ordered by a date field to 10 records. The date field contains duplicate values, which are sorted from most recent, back.
However their suggestion of sorting by a secondary field is not providing acceptable results (it returns all the rows in the database). Does anyone have any suggestions of another way around this?
How is it possible to execute an exe from asp and get a returned string (no http headers in exe) ?
To run exe I use :
<%
cmdExe = sPath & "cgi-bin
equest.exe"
Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sResult = WshShell.Run(cmdExe, 1, True)
Set WshShell = Nothing
Response.write sResult
%>
sResult always content "0" and not the string returned by exe file (something like "!!-1!blabla!blablablabla!")
- How is it possible to get the exe returned value ?
- Is there a solution with asp.net ?

I have a bit of a situation here, I own a job board and have multi-posting comapnies posting jobs to our database and we have returned values going back to them to tell them if the job vacancy was posted succesfully or not.
The problem I have is that our main ASP guru is of sick and the other is off away on business. I have pretty good knowledge of ASP but not as much as these guys. So I need to know how to send a response back to the posting company whether it has been succesfull in posting the job vacancy instead of sending back a page back displaying whether it was successful.
I define a recordset with a pagesize of 100 in my COM object and return this recordset to ASP. When I check my pagesize at the ASP level,it is 10 I assume this is the default.
I can set my pagesize at the ASP level after the COM function is called, but I would prefer to have this encapsulated within the COM.
I am not sure what way to do this, i want a specific row returned and displayed in asp but not in a text box, in acess and vb i ahve done this and its just a label but not sure in asp.
View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP/ADO application querying an SQL Server DB. I want know the most efficient way to determine if more than one row is returned from a query. If more than one row is returned, the user will be presented with a choice of which row to process. If only one row is returned, I want to skip this stage, and process that single row immediately.
I can think of a number of ways of acheiving this (eg. .recordcount) but I'm looking for the slickest and most efficient method.

I am retrieving a response from another site but certain special characters such as ' (single quote) or "(double quote) and £ (pound sign are being returned as ?. The code i am using to get the page is as follows:
Set objhttp= Server.createObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objhttp.open "POST","http://www.mysite.co.uk/viewdetails-" & PrmRef & ".rsp",false
' objhttp.setrequestheader "Content-Type","text/plain"

I'm currently developing on IIS 5, ASP 3 and MySQL 4.1 using the latest ODBC driver from MySQL.
Any time field I have return from the database is returned as the current date. I've tried every table which has a date, created tables which soley keep records on the date.
I've submitted the date from MySQL Query browser using CURRENT_TIME and from an ASP page. Both submit fine.
I've returned the record using a Recordset to move through each and filled an array using GetRows().
short n simple question: I want to display the number of records returned from a search. Code fragment as follows:
// d/b retrieval SQL code
SQLCode = SQLCode
Set objRS = objConn.Execute (SQLCode)
// displaying the returned results
Do While (Not objRS.EOF
<< spit out records >>
objRS.MoveNext
Loop
Now, is there an instance of objRS I can call that will just display how many records were returned? I tried objRS.Count on a longshot, but that didn't work
I have an ASP report that returns values from a SQL database and
formats the data in an HTML table.
I am trying to figure out a good way of using CSS to highlight the
table row that contains the highest value returned.

find the highest value. This worked, but then I couldn't really
figure out how to "tell" the report to highlight that highest value.
Could anyone think of an easier way?
I need to be able to do a search (postcode) from a list of around 2500 addresses. I would like to create a temp table and for the returned recordset to be in a random order, until that is the user requests to sort by say Name, Address etc...
The order initially needs to be random because I do not want the same 'top' addresses appearing for the same postcodes...
I thought I could in the temp table assign a sort order column and then place a random number in it. If I choose a large random number range then the likelihood that the same record has the same number is low...
