I am using option explicit ASP and in one of my pages if I dim any variable (or so it seems), it cries "name redefined". If I take out the variable, it cries "variable undefined". I had about 10 variables defined and it told me each one was being redefined until I took them all out, and then it told me that it didn't know what my variables were! Sheesh! They are not reserved words (they were CommandArray, linksx, etc). Anyone have any idea what's going on?
If you put <%option explicit%> at the top of your pages (direktly after the language declaration) you should get an error for each undeclared variable. This does not happen, but undeclare variables lead to some odd results.
I have a website with many pages where some pages use option explicit in the pages and some do not. I am trying to add a footer include file to be added to the end of every page... and the include footer is going to have some ASP code that checks a table in our database based on whether or not it finds a value in a page variable in the page that called the include footer file.
in some cases... there will be no varible on the calling page... in those cases the footer has code that will goto the database and update somthing there. In other cases the varibles will be hard coded defined with values.
My problem is that the include file (the footer file) needs to check for those varibles... and I have to make sure I DIM the varible before checking it... but if it was previsously dimed in the main page i will get a redim error... and on the pages where there is an option explicit call... I can dim the varible name in the include. Code:
I had an asp page with lots of functions and procedures plus the actual transitional code for the page itself. This worked perfectly but now that I've finished the page and put all the functions and sub routines in an include file I have a problem. Code:
I'm trying to set up a Windows 2003 server using ASP, and I am find ASP pages just STOP as if I had called Response.End whenever an undeclared variable is found. If I turn off Option Explicit, it doesn't happen. Clearly I can Dim the variable to solve the problem (I mention this in case some smartaleck decided to propose it as the solution), but it is making finding undeclared variables very hard! Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong in my configuration?
Where variable comes from a textbox where the user should enter an integer. How can I avoid string or type errors when the user doesn't enter anything or something other than an integer?
I am trying to retrieve a record identity from a SQL Server auto-incremented field on insert statement.
Here is the error I am getting can anyone please help me
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'cwm_Report_Request_Form' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Is there a way I can iterate an option value using ASP so I can pass in multiple values on submit to the Federated item? Here's an example of pseudocode of what I'm trying to do:
Below is an extract from a form that i am writing. I need the user to be able to have a drop down menu of languages. How do I use the 'option value' command in ASP like you can do in HTML.If someone could amend my code to give me a couple of language options so I can get an idea of how it is down.
i have a dynamically created drop down menu where the values are pulled from our database. i've been trying with no success to pass those values to the page but it never works.
how do you pass the values from the <option value="<%=...%></option>? i thought you recalled it in the sql statement like: Code:
" WHERE Something = '" & Request.Form("optionvalue") & "' "
when inserting on the database,the value of the dropdown option is the same as the value of the textbox which is wrong.they must not have the same values example when Pan is selected,then the value inserted to the database must be "pam" not Arnold.
I have a dropdown list on my page. It is populated with values from database ;some values are unsually long that the DDL extends to the right of the screen where i need to scroll to find the arrow.
if i dont i wudn be able to read the values fully[i.e only half the length can be read]. Hence i wud like to provide a toottip for each <option> in the DDL whch will help me read the values onmouseover event. Hope I am clear abt it.Thus me scrolling to the right can be avioded.
I created one ASP page for Online Test. i get all the questions from database. In home page if user select the topic and no. of questions then its displayed in second page.
My trouble in Second Page, becs I show the questions like:
untill the users selection of question numbers. all this are created dynamically. if user submit the answers next page shows the result. How can i get the User answer(Option button) in Text Box or other ways.
In the database, I have two fields which need to be filled in. The Category field and the Cat_ID field. How do I assign two values to the one field to pass this along?
I want to know if you can write a print this page option to a page. I want to write this function in asp or vbscript. I know you can do this in javascript but I don't want tot use this. I also know there is a print fuinction in the browser this is also not what I'm looking for.
I want a piece of tekst which say something like "print this page" When you click on it a asp or vbscript will print the page to your own printer.
I need to know if this is possible and what the code is.
i have a list of provinces in an option select right, so when i click one province i want it to chance the header of my page according to the provinces, and i have no idea on how to do that.
I have loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.
Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.
I have a select list that gets populated from the DB. When the user makes a selection I am able to retrieve this value via Request.Form(...) However, I am wondering if you can retrieve the text value using ASP? I know this can be done in JavaScript using the options text attribute, but it is possible in ASP?
Are there any articles / resources out there about the point of setting the domain when you set cookies? I have been able to find nothing and fail to see the point in setting a domain. As cookies can only be accessed by the domain that set them, what is the point in setting a domain? if the domain is set for say .example.com, can all subdomains read it?
i just want to ask on how will i load the other version of file written in another language (e.g Japanese)upon selecting that particular language from the option box. Like for instance the options are English, Arabic, Japanese and so on...then upon choosing the Arabic language, the page that contains an Arabic language (layout and data)will be displayed.
Is it possible that I can create a check box that corresponds with a group of radio buttons which become visible and invisible as the check box is checked and unchecked ?
I have seen a code to populate a list box from a data base table. Earlier I gave my own values using HTML coding like :
<Option Value="P-159">P-159</Select>. It was working fine but not after using code to build a list box, it is not coming in form value as input and next redirecting page retutns with error:
two codes pages are attached : profile page and search page. Profile page sends input to search page and search pages returns the output.
Based on the layout selected by the user in the search page, im displaying the search result!! Now, i have to give him a option for "print"!! What code should i put in, so that he will have an Printer Friendly option and that prints the search output in the diplayed format!
I am trying to force the last option selected in a drop down!, I basically have a page with a drop down box in which sends to itselfs when selected, the idea is the selected value updates a postage amount depending on the country selected from the dropdown.
However when it returns to the page it defaults back to 'select country' and I would really like it to be able to display the option selected as this is part of the address form.
the relevant country is correct, and i am putting that into a request.querystring so this variable (destination) is available to test/compare against and maybe force select this way, but i just don;t know how to write the asp/html to make the select value go to either this variable or the last one selected. Code:
ok i need to get the text from an option box? i know you can do it with java script but it would make my life a lot easier if you can get it using asp. don't know if there is a method out there or what. any ideas?
