I have an application that returns a PDF document to the browser (not as a
download). The document is returned in a new window. This works fine in
most installations, but I have one installation where it doesn't work in IE,
but does work in Netscape. At the installation where it doesn't work IE
returns the file download dialog box instead of just opening the file. When
I click open or save it complains that it can't find the file. I suspect
the problem is with the file name.
IE is generating a very long file and
I'm guessing it is getting confused. My code did not originally set the
file name, so I'm trying to solve the problem by setting the file name.
Here's the code that I'm using, but it doesn't seem to have any affect.
Does anyone see why this doesn't work? objHttpConn is an HTTP control that
is used to retrieve the PDF document.
PS We are hosting the web sites where it does work and were it doesn't work
and I'm testing using my PC. The only difference is the version of the
application that returns the PDF document. All the machines are 2000
servers with IE 6.0 SP1. Code:
I have a slight problem, I'm trying to open a textfile that has been saved as UTF-8. But when I run it it displays strange chars eventhough i've specified that it should read the file as UTF-8 using the OpenTextFile method of the filesystemobject. I need to open the file, then insert data to a database, nothing will get printed out on screen so its not a html-charset
I have a table called "Document" which has 3 columns
Doc_ID Doc_Name Doc (this is a word doc stored as an OLE object in ms access)
Now in my asp if the user selects a document it should open the word file. I have my case statement that looks like as follows which I think might need some modifications to open a word file: Code:
I have a drop down on a page where user selects a value and then a excel file opens up it works good in mozilla but in IE it doesnt open up the excel file i see a new page been open but then suddenly it closes the file i have checked the popus in IE and i dont know what the problem is Here is the code Code: <% Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel" getid=Trim(Request.querystring("id")) Response.write getid %> I see the output written when i use mozilla but it just doesnt work in IE.

I donloaded a web application form the web which includes couple of asp files. So when I open index.html and click on the links to those asp files, instead of running the code inside, my browser tries to donload them.
It opens a save dialog box and asks me where I want to save this already existing asp files. Does anyone know solution to this problem?
I have a configuration.txt file and would like to open that file in a browser for editing onclick of a button or hyperlink!! It is more than enough for me, if i just open the file as it is in a notepad itself, by clicking a link from the ASP code.
I am trying to open a DB connection in an ASP file (with an HTML interface). I have some idea how to do it, but I am not quite sure. It is linking to an Access DB. It is very simple, I am posting some data to the DB. Only one connection is needed to open.
In the following snippet of code, I can not get my openBrWindow command to work. Does anyone see anything that jumps out at them that is obviously wrong? Code:
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 want to open a new window from ASP page, which may not inherit sessions values from its parent.
I'm opening a new window (JS:window.open) from an ASP page, the child window inherits all the session variables from parent (thats what i dont want). and if I write session.abandon in the child ASP file, it also destroys the parent 's session values. how I can open an ASP page in new window which doesn't inherit sessions from parent.
I'm on a project for a government application. For a given domain object, there is a report that is pre-generated, converted to PDF, and stored in the database.
The client wants to have a list of these domain objects, each one with a print icon at the end (which is already done).
The problem is when they click on the print icon, a postback is acceptable, but basically they want to hit the database, download the PDF, stream it to the browser, and print it, all without any pop-ups.
In short, other than the blink of a page for a post-back, they want Win App functionality of clicking print, and a PDF printing without any other interaction (downloading the PDF, file-> print, etc).
Since its a PDF, I know this isn't possible with Javascript. I have no experience with ActiveX whatsoever, so I was hoping for advice on whether this was completely impossible, and the level of effort involved.
I think its impossible, but I want to at least say I've done my homework before I tell the consultant that who thinks it can be done.
I am coding in ASP. When there was an error in my code, it used to come up in IE and tell me the error and the line of the code it was on. Now, it's opening Script Debugger on the server all of a sudden, and I no longer see those errors in IE. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?
I have a Windows 2003 server running IIS 6. On the server I have about 100 websites. I want to place a file on the server and have ALL sites include it on a web page(s). I tried this
<!-- #include file="C: est.inc" --> but it comes back File can't be found.
Done something with php and C/C++ sometimes. Problem:
I'm making intranet to my office and would like to open files from intranet (shared ms-net) directly to excel.
if I use a-tag those files open to IE and are read-only. I asked some ppl and they adviced to use header (theverychap from phpfreaks did this with php and it worked fine) but I can't get IIS to work right. Code:
I just made a simple web site using Frontpage 2003 with a simple MS Accesss database.
IF I try to open the asp page in a browser by typing http://localhost/mysite/db.asp it opens just fine
However if I try to opeb it by typing c:/mysite/db.asp I get the following error message:
The Database Results component on this page is unable to display database content. The page must have a filename ending in '.asp', and the web must be hosted on a server that supports Active Server Pages.
I want to create a asp page where i can give the user an option of downloading a file or opening a file e.g an excel file.
How do i do this?? Ive already created an asp page which has a button- where the user can click on the button. The excel option of either opening the file or downloading it comes up- but i want this option actually on a asp page. How do I go about this?
We have several apps that a user logs in at on the same page. The app is determined by a drop down. User credentials are checked, response.redirect to the application. The user ID is stored in a session variable which determines if the user is logged in. When the session var goes blank, the user is redirected to the login page. A header on each page checks this.
Now, some parts of the app send an email out to a specific row. User clicks on link in the email, a new browser is opened, user logs in, and is forwarded to the app, AND the specific record that was in the URL.
What I would like is when the user clicks on the link in the e-mail, the existing browser window is used. I know this can be done because a colleagues Stock Trading program works in a similar way. He gets 3 emails. If he clicks on the first one, it take him to a login, and then is forwarded to the details of his stock trade.
If he leaves that window open, and clicks on the next link, the details of the stock trade are brought up in the existing window without him logging in. I looked at HTML to see if they're doing any tricks in the HREF, but it's just a link to a an HTML file.
I am creating a redirect on our web site, and am wondering how to open a new window when the person is redirected.For example, the redirect below works correctly:
But what code would I add to make this open a new window. I am kind of self-taught and obviously not that knowledgable in this area. When I experimented and tried to plug in target="new" in a few places, it did not work.
Does anybody know some code that opens a spreadsheet in excel rather than the browser? If possible something that can be used with response.redirect, however this isn't essential. I have a script that creates an excel report, and people then open this report from a link. However I've been asked whether it could be opened in excel.
