I'm using an ASP script to email a form using CDONTS. I'm trying to format the text in the email and for some reason the bottom line either shows up on the same line with the text or two lines down, instead of the line right below the text. What do I have to do to get it down to the next line? Code:
View RepliesIm developing a site for an organisation im a member of. Im trying to make updating the site a simple as possible for the organistions staff, some of which are not the computer literate. So i have made a kind of template site where the content of all the pages held in a access db. I have then made an admin backend where organisation staff can login and update the contents of pages simply by editing text in a text box and clicking the update button.
However, i've come across a problem. When users leave a line break in the text box the output page doesnt display the gap. I am using a simple response write to display the contents of the attribute on the page. Currently the only way im managing to get line breaks is to enter a '<br>' into the text box on the admin page.
How could i make it so when a line is left blank on the text box the database records this and displays it on the output page?
I'm trying to save to a message field with the field type, memo.
Say I save the message:
"Test 1

losing all the line breaks and such
If I response.write it within <textarea> </textarea> tags it comes back
I created a form mail script. I am receiving an HTML email from the user input. However, If the user enters a line break in the comments field I am receiveing a single block of text in my email.
Is there a way to get the line breaks to show up in the email. I tried Wrap=physical in the input but its still the same.
searched the forum many people posted the same thing many times about text areas displaying line breaks when data is retrived, i know this is the right code
<%=Replace(data, VBCrLf, "<br />")%>
but where abouts do i put this in my asp page.
<%
response.write("Hi" & vbclrf)
response.write("there")
%>
There's no line break, it just displays it as Hithere.
I'm storing information in a database that will later be displayed on the website and I have a questions about line breaks. My users will type in paragraphs into the text area. Then that information will be saved in an Access Database. Later it will be displayed on the website.
The only problem is that the line breaks that the user makes aren't stored in the DB, so when the information is displayed on the website it doesn't have that formatting (line breaks). I don't want to have to tell the user to type in <br> after each paragraph. What can I do to keep that formatting?
I've got the following code which should write the contents of a textarea to a '.txt' file:
Code:
set objFileSystem = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFilePlainText = objFileSystem.CreateTextFile(server.mappath("templates/my-text-file.txt"),true)
objFilePlainText.write(strTemplatePlainText)
If I response.write this data before inserting to the txt file, it preserves the line breaks, but when it writes to the txt file it seems to lose all of the line breaks.
Does anyone know how to get this to preserve the formatting of the text being inserted?

View Replies View RelatedI am building a small CMS for my son's school. Ideally I want to build the system for them and hand it over so that all updates can be done through web-based forms.
So far so good. However I'm having a problem with fields designed to take multi-paragraph stories or articles. I'm using a text area field on the form which saves the data in a memo field in the database. Teachers would typically cut and paste stories from word documents into the text area field.
However when the data is loaded back into the website from the database all the carriage returns have been removed and the story consists of one long paragraph.
Can anyone please let me know how to insert page numbers and page breaks in ASP.
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to modify an existing ASP application that produces forms with several 'blocks' of text that are contained within table cells and which have their own HTML id's.
These blocks must not be split over two pages. Is there a straightforward way of calculating the size of each block/table cell so that the blocks are not split and the form prints on the minimum number of pages? This is an intranet application, so we have a certain amount of control over browser settings, so margin settings etc are not a problem.
We have a page that reads records from a database and displays them. Basically name/address/city/state/zip/county/phone. These records are between 4-6 lines a piece (there are other variables involved).
When printing these records via i.e. we currently have a process where we determine how many records have been written and eventually put a table with .break { page-break-after: always } style applied to it. The problem is, sometimes a page will hold 14 records, sometimes 15, sometimes 16. Is there a better approach to this so that records don't get cut off and it maximizes the number of records that display on each page?
