For some of my pages I currently have part of the URL as being 'ourservices.asp?ID=1' (its got nothing to do with sessions) and I am currently changing part of it so its more SE-friendly - i.e. 'ourservices.asp?services=website-marketing'. However following Googles guidlines regarding dynamic URL's,. it says that some search engines don't crawl pages which have a '?' in them for fear of them being a session URL (which mine isn't).
My question is- is there any alternative that I can use to replace the '?' with another character for my dynamic URL. Or, is this the only way I can have this dynamic URL?
I have an asp application that generate reports. The reports are a list of tables that contain information about users. each user has his own table. how do I get the tables to be printer friendly using either css or a script.And how do I page break the tables.
has any one tried SE Friendly URLs with ASP & IIS? There's nothing like mod_rewrite for IIS. Ofcourse there are some 3rd party COM available but how many of us can use them on shared webservers?
So, is there a way to do it?
For those people who don't know what I'm talking about,
Normal URLs with querystrings look like http://www.example.com/myPage.asp?id=1
while SE Friendly URL will look like http://www.example.com/mPage/1/
The operative words being look like. You will see the 2nd URL in the browser's address bar but the server will take it as the 1st URL.
I am trying to SEO a website which gets content from a CMS, and is coded using ASP, running under shared IIS hosting.
There are urls like http://www.example.com/search.asp?it...6&third_id=Red
To get some keywords in there, I was thinking how to get a URL like this http://www.example.com/Widgets/Special/Red/search.asp OR http://www.example.com/special-red-widgets.html convert automatically into the one above with ? and ids..
If this can work, I can have keyword rich URLs, which when clicked can turn into old ID urls, and fetch relevant content from the CMS.
I've heard about IIS redirect but am not sure how it works. Considering that the site is on a shared hosting, I wanted to know your opinion and best ways to achieve this.
I have developed a client based form using vbscript for a web page to run on IE and would like to make this form printer friendly. Anyone have some ideas?
This message is being brought to you by a few of your friendly neighborhood ASP programming solution providers:
Please attempt to solve your own problems before posting to Sitepoint. I know I (and other persons who will remain anonymous) find it a little irritating when one (or more) of the following happens:
1) We can type your question into Google and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
1.1) We can type your question into Sitepoint's search and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
2) Your question is answered two posts below your question.
3) The answer requires merely looking up the appropriate object/function in the ASP/VBScript references. *
4) Two or three minutes after posting your question, you post "Oh, nevermind, I got it." without even referencing the solution so other people with the same question will know how you did it.
* Note that we will be VERY happy to provide you with links to these kinds of references (and indeed already have in the Important ASP Resources thread - which happens to be marked important twice) upon your request (I know of at least one individual who links these references in his signature also).
Now, please don't think that I'm ranting and raving. I'm just trying to inform those persons who do the above on a regular basis. It grows tiresome when I login for the day and all 5 new posts are questions that are easily answered with a simple link that could have been found if the one who posted the question would have spent 30 seconds researching his/her problem.

If the opinions of this post are contrary to that of Sitepoint, please let us know. I would suspect that you would like us to spend our time on questions that are not easily answered instead of just repeating information which is already easily accessible.
Just want to ask if anyone here has experience with doing printer friendly page. I have done a printer friendly page but the problem is if the line overflow, the printer friendly page will 'run' because my code count line by line, but by charactar or pixel.
My application runs on ASP and the business logic is embedded in Dlls written in VB. The application hosts a list of articles for the user to view and these are accessible through some complex urls like "http://mysite/articles/category1?articleid=34512". I would like to denote a friendly url to these articles such as "http://mysite/articles/kb_TaxPlanning.asp". I am thinking of using an ISAPI filter to do the work for me. My friend was trying on using a httphandler, but it did not work. Please share with us the resources for creating an isapi filter for the same. Also how to use the same for the expected result?
Is there a way to get a printer friendly page using ASP. And when I say this I do not mean removing banner, picture etc and print the page.
The problem I face is, an ASP output is a big table with say 10-15 columns and it would not print even in landscape mode. So if I print the output from the IE browser the right side of the table gets cut. I want to know if there is an ASP code to over come this problem.
What are the best approaches to create printer friendly pages in ASP web sites.? provide us help or links to useful artciles on this topic. Also can we avoid creating separate printer friendly pages and send the current page output to printer as the PRINT button is clicked?
I have seen this functionality when we print our MCP transcript in MS certificastion site?
I'm having problems finding a guide for search engine friendly URLs for ASP. I found some program for sale that needs to be installed into IIS, but this is no good. My web hosting provider would never allow this.
Can anyone point me to a helpful guide in creating search engine friendly URLs out of dynamic sites for a Windows server with ASP? If someone knows of any good hosting providers who already have the ISAPI_rewrite filter installed for its customers, that would be great also.
i am developing a website and in it, i would like to allow them to print the webpage but without the header, footer, as well as to set the default printing layout to be landscape and not protrait. Does anyone know how i may go about doing it?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
Just when I thought I was done , I try going to the "myfolder.asp" page and I get an error:

This is because the user didn't have a folder created, because they didn't save anything to their folder. On another page I have code that creates a table with the same name as the UserName, only if they decide to save something in their folder. Code:
how to print the content of a multiline textbox without taking the content to some other "printer friendly" page. I just wanna send whatevers in the textbox directly to the printer.
I code that creates a calendar for each month and then it displays events from that month that are stored in a db. I need to loop through my recordset and display all the events, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I am thinking I need to do an array. But I am not really sure.... any ideas. Here is where you can view the calendar. Code:
I thought this is more of an IE issue but i've had no joy on that group perhaps somebody here will have a clue.
If i click a link to a web page embedded in Excel (97 OR 2000) i get the standard error page displayed by IE (you know, the 'cannot find server or dns error' page).
Turning off 'show friendly http error messages' alleviates this. (Unfortunately this is the Windows default setting!)
Ok, I have a Javascript ASP and in it I have a dynamic repeating table with certain attributes to people. If one of these attributes is old or invalid, i want to change the color of the text (and maybe make it flash, blink, change size, something) so that it's easy to read.
I want to create textboxes dynamically but with dynamic names also.
i am retrieveing a load of values from a table in SQL into a DataReader. Then i want to create textboxes from those variables. I want to dim various textboxes with different names depending on what I retrieve from SQL. I tried the following:
dim dtrcondet.item("contact_detail_description") as new textbox()
I am trying to create a site that has dynamic page generated based on if a value is present.
PROBLEM I want to be able to show a certain dynamic page if a certain value equals to true. The page should be able to generate values from a db e.g. <%=aspscript%>
And if the value equals to false, then the page should not appear at all. I tried using SSI (Server side inlcudes) but cant append variable names to it or use them with if then statements
I would like to have some text appear in a different color if it matches a result in a database. I am not sure how the syntax would work, this is what I have come up with so far. Not sure how to insert it.
If <%=(Picks.Fields.Item("Pick1").Value)%> = <%=(Results.Fields.Item("Pick1").Value)%> then class="style1"
Is this possible? and if it is does it have to be entered for each occurance of the dynamic text or can it be added to css?
i want o make the images on my website depending on who is logged in. I have all of the Images names stored into my database, which i have uploaded there using the Pure ASP upload 2.09 add on for dreamweaver, and that all works fine and my image is stored in the correct folder and the name of that image is stored into the database as imagename.gif which is exactly what i want, but i dont know how i need to declare that value from the database into my style sheet. Code:
I need to create a bunch of sites with slightly dynamic CSS. Basically, all the image paths in the CSS need to be dynamic, depending on the values of certain ASP variables. I can think of 3 ways to do this: 1. Write a script to create a semi-dynamic CSS file, which will be run whenever we need to make changes to the ASP variables controlling the image paths. 2. Have an ASP script generate the CSS on the fly:
3. Put all static CSS in a normal CSS file, and have a special dynamic style sheet for only those rules that require variability. We could either use method 2 above to generate a second style sheet, or place dynamic rules directly in the actual asp pages.
