Report Formatting
I have users typing in information into a text box. Sometimes this information can be lengthy and contain simple formatting such as spacess between lines and line numbering. For example:
1. List item number one
2. List item number two
I then have a report page that prints out this information. Unfortunately, the line spacing doesn't show up in the report. It's just all jumbled together. I'm just using <%= Notes %> to show the db field. Is there a way that I can show the formatting that was originally entered or do I need to use some kind of word processor like I am using to type this post?

I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?

I'm new to ASP & wish to use it to create SQL report based on the following query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Users.LastName, Users.FirstName, Users.JobTitle, Courses.CourseName, Status.Status, Status.Date FROM Users INNER JOIN (Courses INNER JOIN Status ON Courses.CourseID = Status.CourseID) ON Users.LoginName = Status.LoginName WHERE (((Status.Option)="Required")) ORDER BY Users.LastName;
Do I need to break up the SQL query per row and write out the report? I was thinking I could create this query, retrieve the information & create an SQL report.
However, my SQL is very rusty so I don't remember how to make the command (the only nice thing about GUI interfaces, the client thinks I know how to make the report as I can print it from the db.).

I have made some reports with asp codes. the reports are working correctly. but I want to set the margins, header & footer dynamically using asp codes. is there anyway to do it?
when I print the report, I don't want the header & footer to be printed out. I know that we can set this by going to the printer settings...but then this application will be installed in our server and we can't expect every staff to change them when they want to print.

This returns the following:
NETWORKJ.Bloggs
Instead I would like it to return J.Bloggs on it's own with out the "NETWORK" bit so basically I am saying how do I cut out the first 8 characters of a variable.

I would like to know how to format phone numbers and ssn numbers in textbox. That is when I enter the phone number, it is going to the database as 000,000,0000. I want to have it as either 0000000000 or 000-000-0000. Likewise, for ssn also. I am really fed up with javascript, somehow, it doesn't work well for me. Always, get page errors and it is not that easy to find out the errors in javascript.....

I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the
data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as
a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the
movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a
Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like
"12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as
HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells
me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem
to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display
it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing
a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I
know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm
lost ...
Any ideas?

When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the
presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically,
I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay
online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only
as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite
vexing to some of my clients.
It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.
On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate
as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options
anywhere.

I'm currently doing some work with ASP and XML DOM.
Is there any way when saving XML to get ASP to save it in a formatted way? Similar to PHP's formatOutput setting? At the moment my xml is being appended on line e.g
<test>1</test><test>2</test>
Is there a setting to get ASP to save XML like:
<test>1</test>
<test>2</test>
The XML document I'm working on is fairly large and its proving very difficult to read through the xml at the moment.

I am needing to response.write a variable within a snippet of Javascript.
My Javascript code that I need to response.write with the variable is below:-Code:
response.write ("imageArray[ImageNum++] = new imageItem(image_dir + ""variable here"");")
I can response.write the static Javascript string fine. The problem arises when I try and state a variable into where it says, 'variable here'
The variable I need to include is
Code:
rs.Fields("ImgURL")
Would someone please be able to show me the correct formatting for this Javascript string which includes the variable.

Is it possible to have line feeds/breaks automatically entered when the text wraps to a new line? I am using a <textarea> input on a form and using the <pre> tag when displaying the text to a html page (embedded in a .asp page). The text is being saved to a sql database. Returns seem to be displayed. But the wrapped text just displays as one long line.

I have a SQL 2000 table with data I display in three columns. The code
I am using sorts the data horizontally but I need it sorted vertically.
Here's the code I am using. Perhaps somebody can help me find a way to
modify it.CODE
response.write "<table width='100%' cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0>"
if not oMain.eof then
count = 0
do while not oMain.eof
if count mod 3 = 0 then
'there are 3 in the current row, so end the row and start a new
one...

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a
format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL
Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only,
not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database
because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in
ASP/VBScript by using the datevalue function. This results in values such as
3/31/2006, 4/3/2006, and 4/14/2006. The problem is, the ones with the
single digit date (4/3/2006 in the sample data I just listed) messes up
Excel's sorting capabilities. How can I force the dates to display in a
2-digit date format? It would probably be good to do the same for the month.

I'm having a problem with the following:
I'm passing a query string from one script to the other via a hidden input.
Right now I'm just response.writing the query string out to make sure the
query is getting there.
The query string will display no problem if the query has no single quotes
( ' ) i.e. returns:
SELECT * from table WHERE int_field = 123 ORDER BY id
But when the query contains quotation marks to handle text it chokes, i.e.
returns:
SELECT * from table WHERE text_field =
when this should be:
SELECT * from table WHERE text_field = 'textvalue' ORDER BY id
I've tried various arguments with the REPLACE function, but can't get it to
work...
Running SQL2000.

I made a simple update page for people post quick messages. However, I'm having problems on formatting. Before I insert into the MySql database, I replace all the ' with ', but how do I keep it looking the way they typed it?I need to know how to enter
where they pressed enter, etc. Once it gets inserted, it mashes the whole string together.

i have an access database which i am displaying on a .asp page-the field i am using is a memo filed full of formatted text.
The code i have been used to using to keep the memo text formatting is: -
[<%=Replace(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Description").Value,chr(13),"<br>")%>]
But the site was created by someone else and the way they place this content is: -
[<%=productdescription%>]
Which obviously does not keep the memo text formatting

I'm looking for some basic end user textarea formatting, similar to the formatting available when messages are created in this forum, bt even more basic.
I really would like let the user add hyperlinks and to add bolded text without knowing the html tags for these. Any suggestions on where to look for this. Ideally something that would work with all browsers (i.e. including Opera).

I have been having problems with an ASP page that extracts a newsletter from an Access DB. The record in the database has the proper format, meaning that after a paragraph, you can see that the enter key was pressed twice.
Problem is that when the newsletter is shown on the internet, all of the paragraphs have been run together. I don't know why this is happening.
