What would prevent Code:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
from opening the page in excel assuming that excel IS on the clients machine?
The page has a couple included pages that contain ASP and JS, the page itself dynamically writes the table cells in html like so...Code:
strTable = RS.GetString(,,"</td><td>","</td></tr><tr><td>"," ")
I have a page called createWordDoc.asp, that starts with the line <% Response.ContentType = "application/msword" %>.
What it does, is receicves information from a form on the previous page, formats everything using html, and saves it as a word document.
Everything is working ok, except when I open the word document, there should be a picture in amongst the text, but it isn't there.
Does anyone know about creating word docs from asp, or has anyone had simliar problems?
<%Response.ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf" %>
<% dim songs
set songs = server.CreateObject("scripting.dictionary") set songs = session("cart") %>
This code works fine in IE but in mozilla/netscape, session object is lost and returns error. However, if i resmove the first line for contenttype, the code works fine in mozilla but i ned the first line as this code is part of playing a window media playlist
I had a asp file that generated asx files using
Response.ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf"
It was working fine up until a day or so ago. Now all of a sudden it does not work. If I take out the Response.ContentType line and copy the source code to a asx file it works fine. if I copy the URLs out of the code and put them into the browser it plays. So it is generating the file correctly, it is opening Windows media player, but it then errors saying it cant fine the file. Yet copying the URL from the generated asx works fine.
I am trying to generate an RSS feed with ASP, however, IE will not
display the feed as an XML document, instead returning it as text.
I have <% Response.Buffer = true %> and <% Response.ContentType =
"text/xml" %> at the top of the page, but it does not make a
difference. Netscape/Mozilla recognizes the contenttype and displays
it as XML, and the feed is valid.
You know how you can use "Response.ContentType" to tell the browser to display the content as Excel or Word and it will automatically convert your html page into an .xls or .doc file. My question is can I convert it to PDF? If so how?
View Replies View RelatedI have a problem in that i have a page that works fine and shows all records/Output until i add Response.ContentType=msword
And then i only show every other record.
I probably should have coded the page differently. But for context - it's a school report system and i have setup a Subroutine which queries a database and builds a summary report for a girl. I wanted to print out a class list of these. I.e one for each girl in a class and so i loop around the results of one recordset and within each loop make a new query and create the report. This is probably not the best way to do it.
Anyhow, in the browser it woorks fine. As soon as i add the code to output it to word (or excel ) i lose evry other report.
I have created an Excel spreadsheet for the web. When it opens in IE
6.0 I get the message that the format is not supported. This is because
it is in tab delimited format. Ane when I save the file, It saves it as
txt. How can this file be created so that Excel sees it as an .xls
format. I created the data in VB 6.0 with a vbtab to seperate the
columns.
I'm using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" to display contents in excel file.
I have one problem my SQL Query is working fine,because I checked it 1000 times and the most important thing is because if I don't use Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" and just printing the contents as a table it works!!! But when I write Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" I don't see the contents!?
One more thing ,when I use the same file with other SQL Query that is a little different I can see the Excel perfect.
I am using Response.ContentType = "application/msword" to open the page as a word file (obviously). As an asp page, the page opens great and looks great.
But, when it's opened as application/msword, i get unwanted line breaks after every table as well as table borders and inaccurate table widths that weren't there when the response.contenttype line was commented out.
I'd make it one table but the page is a report that consists of rows and columns... some rows not lining up, hence new table. (it has to be exact).
response.write "<td style='background-color:#FFFFFF;'><% if objRs('ThumbImageURL') <> '' then %>"

I am trying to create a report in xls format using ASP. I need to do some formatting to the report. To do this, I'm using xml. But, somehow, I cannot get the columns to autofit causing the report not to print in one page. What am I missing?

It involves using ASP/VbScript and ADODB.Stream to read binary data from a *.DOC or *.RTF
file and then send it to the user with Response.ContentType and BinaryWrite.
Everything works fine until I try to Replace() certain strings in the *.RTF
file with my own data. I'm assuming Replace() is choking on the binary characters, or
incorrectly thinking 0x00 values are marking end of string. Code:
I have a password-protected area on my site. I'm not using any server
authentication methods: Instead I prompt the user for a username and
password using an HTML form and check these against a database of
registered users.
I was thinking that this page should be returning a HTTP status code of
"401 Unauthorized" instead of its current "200 OK". My reasoning being
that this would let search engines know what's going on when they
request a protected page and get redirected to the "Access Denied"
page.
I experimented with adding response.status = "401 Unauthorized" to the
"denied" page, but now it displays a (Windows/IE) username & password
prompt instead. The HTTP sniffer shows that the www-authenticate field
is set to "Basic".
My question: How can I indicate to the search engines that the page it
is requesting requires authentication, yet have it not display the
login/password dialog box?

I'm sure you've seen them before where the image is barely readable by a human and the user has to enter the code correctly to submit the form.

Is there any point in having response.end after response.redirect?
View Replies View RelatedThe following code checks to see if user is an Admin...if not then the user get redirected to another page.

My question is:
Do I need Response.End?
Can a user (not an admin) stop the browser from redirecting and execute the code after the if statement?
after looking at someone elses code here I noticed that he
always does a Response.End after a Response.Redirect. I was under the
impression that code execution would stop on the current page as soon as the
Response.Redirect statement appeared, but the guy reckons that the code will
continue running on the current page before starting the new one. Can
someone give me the definitive answer on this?
I must admit I always forget to use "response.end"
and I also forget to "set objects = nothing"
how important are these things.
I know my application run fine without them probably because I usually have
plenty of processing power and ram.
My understanding is that a small peace of ram will be tied up for a set
period of time, and then it will be returned for use.
What is wrong with this line?

I have placed an include to "security.asp" at the top of each .asp page in the Members Area of my client's web site.
When the following code in "security.asp" is executed, the user is redirected to the "join.asp" page but the url in the browser address bar still shows the last page's url.
My first question was, can I hide a form field and make it visible upon
selecting a particular value on a dropdown select field? Hoping for your
immediate response.
I have a page which runs a script. When it gets to the end of the page I want it to do 2 things:
1) take some variables from the page and create an Outlook email with the subject, body and To fields populated with those variables.
2) send the page to another page.
This is roughly the theory:
Response.Redirect("mailto:me@here.com")
Response.Redirect("mypage.asp")
1) I like to know when a problem is solved. When the original person posts a "thank you that solved my problem" message and I see it I know that what they did worked. The macromedia site allows people who opened the thread to close it as "solved" Then you can search for a topic and request only "solved" threads.
2) When I am stuck on something for a long time and someone finally gives me the info. I've been stressing out over. I would feel guilty if I did not thank the helpful person. My parents' good upbringing must have burned into me the idea that you need to say "please" and "thank you".
Just my two cents. Also the Macromedia forum is not a better forum, unless it is a specific question about one of their products. Even then
In my html page to update a table I am forwarding request to a ASP apge bys using form.action="test.asp", and form.submit(). In asp I am doing database update. Response of this I want to show alert box to user whether operation is succesful.
I donot want ot redirect to some other page and I do not want to disturn existing view. I mean I want get only response such as true or false and based on respose I will display alert in front end. I want some thing like this,
form.action="test.asp";
var result=form.submit()
if( result="successfull")
alert("Succesful")
else
alert("failed")
This is my current URL after the process takes place. I want to add in the URL after intCatID & . This additonal paramater [AL = "intAL"], then the error but I forgot how to do this.

I have a Popup window where a user inputs soem data.
On successfully entering this data I redirect the user to
a page in the same popup indicating that the form has

I want to resize the page that I redirect the user to.
Is this possible in ASP?
I've come across some weird bug with Response.Cookies. Or maybe it will be
called "by design" but for the life of me I can't figure out what purpose it
would serve. If you're setting a cookie (say Response.Cookies ("TEST")) and
you have a query string variable &test=x or &Test=x and you get
Request.QueryString to parse the query string, the cookie that gets dropped
matches the case of the query string, not what your code says. In other
words even though the code says Response.Cookies ("TEST"), it drops
Response.Cookies ("test") instead.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? There's an example below. Try
it with http://127.0.0.1/cookieTest.asp?test=x and without the query string
variable.
<%@Language=Jscript Enablesessionstate=false%>
<%var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime(exp.getTime() + (2 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000))
var expDate = (exp.getUTCMonth()+1) + "/" + exp.getUTCDate() + "/" +
exp.getUTCFullYear()
var x = Request.QueryString ("dummy");
Response.Cookies("TEST") = "This is a test";
Response.Cookies("TEST").Expires = expDate;
%>
Having just migrated to w2k from NT4, I've stumbled across an oddity with
cookie handling - at least, that's what it appears to be.
I (was) using response.buffer with .addheader to write two cookies into a
the http header for a particular page . Worked fine for three years.
After the upgrade, I'm finding that two copies of the same cookie appear,
one with blanks for values, the other with values filled in; this has the
effect of logging the user into the page if the first copy isn't blank....
So, I changed the code to use response.cookie, which is fine, but the
names/values get encoded, and unfortunately the software vendor uses dashes
in the name part.
Is there any way to force .cookie to not encode the '-'?
or do I need to look at javascript to write the cookie?
I am trying to add some basic security to my asp web pages. I have a logon screen which, when the logon and password are checked for validity, passes the user on to a registration screen using the code
response.Redirect "user_reg.asp?User=" & Request.Form("UserName")
I then inserted the following line before the redirect
response.Cookies("ValidUser") = "ValidUser"
I have the following check at the start of the user_reg.asp page
<%
if request.Cookies("ValidUser") <> "VaildUser" then
response.redirect "user_login.asp"
End if
%>
All that happens now is that when I log in validly user_login.asp is
redisplayed rather than the user_reg.asp.
Perhaps this is not sufficient to set the cookie? I have looked for it but
can't see it amoungst other cookies dated today.
I want to know whether a certain function on the database such as add or delete record is successful or not to be indicated after the transaction.
E.g. if a record was not found, or not deleted, the next page should indicate the event. If deleted it should indicate as well.
