View Replies View RelatedI've been using ASP for smaller (up to 4 items) dropdown menus, and so far I've been if/then/ statements such as this boolean case:
Code:
<select name=""gift">
" <%If MyGift = true Then %>
<option value="true" selected>YES</option>
<option value="false">NO</option>
<% Else %>
<option value="true">YES</option>
<option value="false" selected>NO</option>
<% End If %>
</select>
How do you set the selected item in a drop-down menu when you have many items in the dropdown, as in the case where the dropdown contains the 31 possible days in a month?
I have two drop downs. Both dropdowns are dynamic and data is send from a db for both,
Depending on what is selected in the first drop down i want to populate the second drop down. I know and have done this using XMLHTTPScripts but as this is for a website i dont want to go down this route.
I don't know what to call what I want, but here is the description. Can I use sub-Lists?
I have a dropdown that conatains a list of products. When a user chooses an item, I want another drop down or anything that will allow them to then choose the specific category.
For example:
#1: I have cars and trucks.
When I user selects cars, I want a dropdown to give them available cars to choose from.
Say for instance the user selects Ford. Then I want them to have the option to choose
from the list of Fords. Escort, T-bird etc. Their final choice is what's sent to the DB.
#2: Also, I don't want to give them the option to enter a date into the DB. I have a field in my DB design "timestamp". I want this field to be automatically populated server side once the data is submitted.
i guess it depends on the domain for that answer. If it's a box with hundreds of webpages serving thousands of customers you'd want to conserve network bandwidth you'd probably want to do javascript, but i wouldn't consider reloading a page a big hit since if you just open the connection and runing two queries. But if you need the bandwidth you could do it with javascript.
I try to keep things out of javascripts and out of the hands of the client. Mainly because if they're running an older computer it will take longer to load and put unnessary strain on them and also if the client has scripting disabled you have no more drop down boxes and your site is pretty much disabled. With the strickly asp method you'd have at least the options to choose from and not any core functionality taken from it. That's my 2 cents on javascript to asp.
Im getting the functionality of it down first, thats what It looks a little bland. Anyway, the basic idea is that im trying to have a person select a department which brings up a list of class numbers, which brings up a table of tutoring times. Ive just started using ASP a week ago, so don't tear me apart too much. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have an existing ASP file in a virtual directory. When I type server. or request. in this text file using Microsoft Script Editor I get a dropdown showing the properties available for the object.
However, if I change the extension to ASP on an existing html file, or create a new asp file I'm not getting the dropdown. I suppose this indicates the objects are not available in these new files, and they would not run properly if I tried to open them. What am I missing in setting up these new ASP files?
basically what im trying to do is create a form to submit some data to an access db.
In the form i want to be able to have two dynamically populated drop downs (so if a user chooses cars in the first field it comes up with a bunch of car manufacturers, or if he chooses boats it comes up with boat builders etc etc.)
Ive searched high and low, and i the best i can find is javascript to make the drop dows. The java script however uses a form to repost the data back to the page to populate the second drop down. This wont work when its inside a form.
What I'm trying to accomplish is the ability to post information to the querystring based upon values that are within a drop down that was generated from a database. Code:
View Replies View Relatedi have a website that uses (or needs to use) dynamically driven dropdowns using asp & JS on all pages. it contains 3 different dropdowns that are DB fed and are dependent upon the value of each other. the drop down values are updated using a repost to itself.
they work perfectly on the initial pages where no other variables are involved, but i am having troubles on the pages where more variables are being sent. eg: i have use a lot of error checking, and when i repost, the variables are deleted, and thus the error listings take effect as the variables are now blank. can i refresh the dropdowns without repossting to the samepage without effecting the existing variables on that page? sessions? cookies?
I want to create an asp page from these forms in my database:
Database:
Table 1 =>
1.1) ID:
1.2) Product Name
1.3) Description
Table 2 => For the ASP Form
2.1) ID:
2.2) Text field 1 (Normal input field)
2.3) Product (Dropdown Menu, Data Source Table 1, Field 1.2)
2.4) Description (Text Field, Data Source Table 1, Field 1.3)
The Description value should be in correlation with the Dropdown Menu value in Table 1
I have an ASP-page where I want to be able to select a fabric and color of that fabric. Since different fabrics comes with different colors I want to have a form with two drop-down lists where selection of fabric in the first list populates the second list with the right set of colors. I need to have the lists in the same form so it only require one submit.

i really jus started learning asp and if anyone knows how to do that without any issues with client and server sides.
I have a table, which is bound to a database, how would I go about, making fields in one column, so that I can drill down on them.For example, I have a column of Groups, and I wish to click on a group and see the members in that group.
View Replies View RelatedI have a database that has 2 tables linked into it from another database. I am having problems trying to pull in values from those 2 linked databases. One of the tables is tblClient. Code:
View Replies View RelatedIthe goalposts have been moved (yet again!) and the database that was one, may have to become many, being used on subdomains of the same server sharing some information but not all from a 'global' database.The solution I initially found was to used linked tables and developing it on pws - this was perfect. I linked local databases to the external table data in the 'global' database hey presto the application ran smoothly. There was only 1 connection to each local database and I could retrieve all the information I needed from the global one. However on uploading I have no idea how to set this via asp or sql as online the path of the linked tables is what was on my local machine and I have found no way of being able to edit this or indeed know if this is possible.
View Replies View RelatedI am using one combo box and populating it with the values . i have another combo box on the page. I want to display the related values in this second combo box based on the selection in the first combo box.
I am trying to reload this page on the change event of the combo box but the values are not coming in the 2nd combo box . Please send me a solution to this or if possible a sample code for the same.
im trying to link to a Access db which uses linked tables via a odbc connection... is there anything different about the connection string / driver?
adoConnection.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("Resources/peterjohntest.mdb")
but this error comes up Code:
I have a "booking" section on my intranet.
2 questions.
1. Can I, say by session, determine if a user logged in can amend/delete data they have entered? But no one else.
Say they book a conference room, but only they can delete it
2. I want to prevent cross bookings (in terms) of time.
I have an Access DB that has a linked table to a SQL Anywhere DB. When I try to access this Access DB, it prompts me the first time every time for username and password to the SQLA DB. This isn't a problem when it is just me that is working on development, however,
I figured MS would have something good to say about this issue, so that my users can use this DB as well. MS says I need to pre-open the table using the same credentials for both DB's. I have tried this several ways, and am still unable to open the linked access DB.
The error I get is that the DSN=xsellvehicles (this is the DSN that is used by Access to open the table that resides in SQLA) can't be used because the username or password doesn't work.
I've been tasked with the challenge of re-sizing images linked via BBcode on the fly. I have compiled a list of functions that do individual components of this task, but stringing them together has proved, well, a challenge.
I discovered this code that will re-size the images, however this will need to be added on an ad-hoc basis, and the fact that the image name appears twice complicates the usual system I used to add the code.
Usual way of replacing the code (inside a function):
Code:
vText = Replace(vText,"[ img ]","<div align='center'><img align='middle' src='")
vText = Replace(vText,"[/ img ]","'></div>")

if you have seen an example floating around on the internet of three linked list boxs using asp code and a database connection. I have managed to get it to work for the first 2 list boxs, but I am unable to get it to populate the third list box, this is how it is:-
Tables:-
Main_cat
Sub_cat
Subsub_cat.
Not all Sub_cats will have subsub_cats, hope this makes sense. I have attached the code.
I currently have a page with car manufacturers in a dynamic form menu. Users can select one and click submit to find available cars by that manufacturer. What i now need is a second menu on the page where when a manufacturer is selected, the models associated with that manufacturer display for a user to choose. For example if Ford is selected:
Menu One Menu Two
------------------ -----------------
Ford Focus
Fiesta
Ka....
Can i do this with ASP to say "if menu one is ford, menu two contains...."? Or is there a much easier way which i am somehow missing?
The code that I have has 2 drop down boxes dd1 (visible) and dd2 (hidden). Based on the option selected in dd1, dd2 should be visible and populate options. I think I can have OnChange script but how could I return the value and put it in the SQL query (see variable in red in thecode)? Code:

' then set up a query
' -----------------------------------------------
sQuery = "SELECT DISTINCT * from tablename Order By columnA, columnB " ' << insert your own sql here
could someone give an example so I could follow it?

I'm creating a forum based site with basic BBCode features, but am concerned that misuse of the [ img ] tag will mess up my layout. I do not want to go down to road of users uploading images, but want to allow them to embed images from flickr, photobucket etc.
So, is it possible to restrict all linked images that are say, over 400 pixels wide? I've been racking my brains and have had trouble coming up with any solutions. Is it possible?
I have an application in ASP that exports to Word using the Response.ContentType method.
The application references another ASP page through the img tag that uses a Response.BinaryWrite (of an img content type) for its output.
In other words:
App A.ASP contains the code: [...] <%Response.ContentType =
"application/vnd-msword"%> [...] <img src="B.ASP">
Then B.ASP contains the code: [...] <%Response.ContentType = "image/png"%>
[...] <%Response.BinaryWrite BinaryObject%> [...]
When Word opens and the document is saved, it references the images as links. I need to have these images be embedded as the file will need to be emailed outside of the network.
I can go in and manually break the links and save them as embedded files, but this process needs to be automated as users will not know how to do this.
Is there a way to force these images to be embedded instead of referenced as links when the Word doc is intially created?
I've got a stored procedure which returns a select query on a linked server. This works fine if i call within SQL and Query Analyser but if i try and execue to return data to a ASP recordset i get the ridiculous

Trying to figure out how to make a pulldown menu, which when something is selected, another pulldown menu comes up with limited options (based on the input from the first). I've seen examples using Jscript, but none using VB. The rest of my page is done in VB. Any suggestions? Is this possible?
