I have an asp page that reads the contents of a database and creates an xml news feed. I have code that strips out the <BR> and <P></P> tags, but it looks one of the databases I'm trying to read from uses only <P> without the closing tag.
So the make a long story short, I can't figure out what to add to my code to strip out these tags (or if that isn't the problem at all!) Code:
I'm querying a text field with an 8000 character limit. The text also
contains HTML tags like <p> <br> and more. Is there a way to strip all HTML
tags in the resulting recordset, or do I have to replace each tag
individually?
I have a string of HTML (used for a specific purpose) that I'd like to
use somewhere else but as plain text. Rather than introduce a
specifically created plain text version I'd like to strip the tags code
from the HTML version. This in itself is easy, using a function such
as:
Function HTMLDecode(Expression)
Dim sTemp
sTemp = Expression
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, ">", ">", , , 1)
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "<", "<", , , 1)
'Repeat for each defined entity
HTMLDecode = sTemp
End Function
However, the difficulty comes when trying keep each paragraph seperate.
For example, the string "this is<p>my name" shows on screen as:
this is
my name
if I use the above function, it strips out the <p> tag and shows the
result on one line:
this is my name
I thought I could use something like:
str = replace(str, "<p>", chr(10))
but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me replace <br> and <p>
tags with something that's recognised as "plain" text but will keep the
paragraphs and new lines formatted correctly??

Is there a way to extract the paragraphs out of a string?
I've had some excellent help before on this forum and hoping for some more.
This is probably very basicbut I'm kind of muddling along a bit and it's a miracle I got so far.I have a memo text field in a table form and I'm wanting to enter text into it but all a small amount of formatting. Just basic paragraph breaks would be a start. This is kind of following on from a previous post of mine where I was trying to include line breaks. This was the solution.
Code:
<textarea name=whatever WRAP="HARD">

I have a query about ASP with Javascript, I am trying to automate a form whereby when you type in some text in a form and hit the return key on your keyboard the asp/javascript places a <p> html marker in that paragraph space so when you hit the submit button the text is display correctly, i.e. the paragraphs are displayed and the text does not come out in one block. I have created a very simple form and button using ASP/VbScript and it works. For some reason I cannot work out how to do this with ASP/Javascript. This is so when in future all text is sent to a database we do not have to input the <p> markers manually. Obviously there is more to this, like connecting to a database to drag the text off first, but the code I have created is merely for testing purposes first.
here is my ASP/VBScript code below: ...

I 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.
I have a form with a textarea input. The form then stores the text in a database. I want that text to be written to a web page (not a textarea).
Well if I don't put a <p> in between paragraphs, of course the paragraph breaks don't show up on the web page. How can I make it, so when I hit return in the text area, a paragraph break shows up in the asp page?

I have a scrolling text box where people input a list of information, using the <ENTER> key between lines.
The submit button transfers this information into the Access DB into a memo field.

What better way is there to do this so my line breaks are intact?

I'm trying to strip out none alphanumeric characters (and a couple of punctuation marks) from a string before inserting into a database.
I've put in my code below, basically I thought I'd loop through each character in turn and pass it through a regular expression to check its validity. If it passes I'll add it to a global variable ('validString') if it fails I'll remove it.
But I can't get my Mid() function to accept 'i' as a value so it won't loop. Code:
I'm trying to catch some characters in a string before they are entered into a database that are not ASCII and convert them to ASCII characters. The characters in question are the angular double quotes but this could be associated with similar occurences. I want to check for left angular double quotes [“] or right angular double quotes [“] and replace them with straight double quotes ["].
(I'm not actually storing the HTML equivalents - they are simply there to give you an idea of which characters I'm on about.)a way of catching these buggers? I've tried using chr(8220) (the numeric code for one of the illegal characters apparently) but ASP has a problem working with numbers outside the character map.
