Can someone tell me the maximum character length of a variable passed to an ASP page via a POST form (i.e. not through the querystring)? I read somewhere that said it was 1024 characters but that can't be right.
View RepliesI previously had a post on a problem with the Microsoft SQL server, when I was trying to compare a record in the database with an inputed record, if the record in the database was not exactly the same length as the inputed record, it would not match. i.e. user codes = OAK,BRANT,QUYOU etc.
Unfortunately these records have already been made and they vary in length from 2-5 characters. Im programming in VBscript, does anyone know any functions which will rectify this problem?
i've tried the trim function but this has no effect, I could just change the length of the column so that they are all a similar length and thus will all be comparable, however this is certainly not ideal as an id code only two characters long is not unique, some of the records will clash.
I would like to avoid changing all the records as there are 25 different codes for about 10,000 records. im sure there is some code which could accomplish this but ideally I would like to solve the problem at source.
I have one field char type data length 1.. It has data either 1 or 2 in all the field tht I have checked through enterprise manager.
I'm running query:
"select * from table" and fetching all the records and displaying...
It display all the data except data from this field..Doesnt display anything..
I had put Response.write rs("fieldname")
What could be the problem?
I have an integer variable wich always ends with a "0". I have to remove this "0".
Example:
43997680
should be:
4399768
Can someone please give me the code?
I have a VB application sending data via post to an ASP page.
The application sends two variable: id, txt
If txt has the & sign in its string, it cause trouble. E.g.:
id = 1
txt = "Hello & more"
If I take a look into Request.Form() array in asp page, it shows the
following:
id = 1
txt = "Hello "
more = ""
I am posting a form variable to an ASP script, but when the asp script receives the variable, I don't want it to open a new web page or open in the same window. I also can't have the script on the same page and refresh the page.
I use javascript to submit the form with the hidden field, and I want the variable to be processed by the asp script in the background on the server and return nothing. So essentially, i want the script to run transparently. How can I do this with asp? We run a classic environment.
I am doing this because the script is a tracking script, and it's disruptive for the user to see any trace of it. I want them to continue surfing as normal.
I am dumb, ya'll are smart. Help. I have a session variable I am using for login. I want to have a link on the page to logout which will re-post the page. I put in the following code:
<a href="../nav/nav.asp" target="NavFrame" onClick="<%session.Abandon()%>">Logout</a>
This would bring the user back to the same page, but would limit the options to read only user capabilities.
This works fine except for one thing. The session is abondaned any time the page is submitted. There are several other items on the page that call submit() that need to be used and the page not end the session. Any explanation why this is ending the session and how to avoid it?
sending a variable in this way: temp.asp?num= <% = Var %> creates an error , although i can see in the url that the value is added (e.g temp.asp?num=3) is it because the method is post? what should i do so the variable will come throgh with no error!?
View Replies View RelatedI am passing a value to a form through the URL as follows:
<A href="http://www.xxxxxx.com/orderone.asp?text="radius">http://www.xxxxxx.com/orderone.asp?text="radius"
On the orderone.asp page, I am reading the value into a text box as follows:
<input name="Template" type="text" id="Template" size="25" maxlength="255" class="body" value=<% = request.querystring("Text") %>
so far it works fine. It shows the value in the text box on the page. I am trying to post this page with all the form fields to a new page that emails all the variables that are on this page. The form tag looks like
<form action="Orderform3.asp" method="post" name="order">
In orderform3.asp, i am requesting the values for all the form fields as follows before emailing all the fields to myself:
strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Account_Name") 'strbody is the variable that adds all the form fields to the body of the email
strBody = strBody & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Contact_Name")
strBody = strBody & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Template")
Here is the problem...I am getting the email with the values filled in except for "Template" and I cannot figure out why. Is there something that I am doing wrong? i have to mention that there is no DB behind this site...it is just a static web site with an email script in it.
If i wanna insert the length more than 10,000 char , How ?

i'm trying to printout normal text from IE using Generic Text Driver
like so:
B10,10,0,1,1,1,100,N,"13123123"
problem is in the printout itself (if i use the print to file to debug)
IE keeps appending char 20 charachter to each line which screws up my
printing (trying to printout to a barcode printer)
is escape char in asp script and how we can encode the url in asp script?

The problem is when I try to fill in the form with greek characters. They appear in the email as ????? or very confused characters with no recovery.
Is there a way to 'force' a submit on a form with out actually allowing the
user to press a button ? For example...
step1: A from is filled out by a user, then they click the submit button.
step2: The form is 'post'ed to an ASP page which writes the values to a
database. So far No problems. But..
step3: Now I want to 'post' these values again to another page without any
user interaction.
My ideas were:
1) I know you can get the form values from Request.Form("myVar"), so I
thought of making a 'dummy' form and setting the 'values' of the form
variables to these Request.Form("myVar") valiables, but I don't know how to
'submit' them to another page again.
2) Is there some type of 'submit' command in ASP?
Ok, given a string up to any length, lets say 1,000 characters. I want to only display no more than 450 characters, but I want to end the string where a "." is found. In other words, have it go the 450 character, then from that point backwards, find the first "." That will be the end of what is displayed. I don't want hanging sentences in other words...
View Replies View RelatedI have an asp page that uploads a text file, with SQL Statements inside.
After I upload the file, I want to execute the statements and then delete the file from the server.
The problem is: when I read the first Sql statement, it gives an error when I try to execute it I get a "Identifier that starts with 'INTO blah blah' is to long. Maximum length is 128.
But when I response.write the variable it shows the whole string, all +-600 chars of it.
So is this a DB Problem? (I'm using SQL Server 2000)
And how would I change it, if it was?
I believe that it's possiblte to set the length of time that a visitor to a site can be inactive before their session time's out, but I don't know what the coding is or where it's placed. have never had to bother with this, but I've just started with a host, whose server seems to time-out my session after like 4 or 5 minutes

whats the maximum lenght of a url ?
View Replies View RelatedI think an url variable could be limited, maybe someone know the maximum length I can use ? (I try to send an html code with the get method, maybe some symbols could not be accepted in url).Is this length limited for a variable or for the url string ?
View Replies View RelatedI have a webpage with a form and i am saving the webpage using name value pairs. So i can give the users a link which they can click on and the form will open up prepopulated.
The problem i am having is that these forms can get exteremely long (hence the prepopulation facility) e.g test.asp?name=value?name1=value1?name2=value2
is there any way to increase the url in a browser or if you know of any other way i can accomplish this id appreciate ure feedback more detail regarding the above: I am allowing useers to save their forms with the data, also save multiple versions of the form (same form with diff data).
I have a question about the Max Referer length. By default this is 256. I am not fully sure I understand this property. It this a header that is sent back to the Server by a client and is it part of the URL.
While testing our Secure IIS I ahd the error come up I increased the value to 1080 and the error did not repeat!. But through my search the Max Referer lenght is always 256. SO I am trying to get feel for what the Referer really is, is it part of the HTTP 1.1 protocol?

We have web site on IIS 5.0 for sending purchase-orders to database on MS
SQL through ASP and ADO. The purchase-order is being sending to .asp script
as web request, but the script recieves only the first 2088 characters of
request. Is it possible to increase this parameter somehow, or to set it
unlimited? Does the IE limit the request length, or IIS?
I want to load an asp page with a very great variable part (something like save.asp?myvariable=aa...zzzzz
