I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...
This is probably simple and I'll kick myself when I see the answer, but I am trying to write a simple if statement that will check to see if a string value is contained within a list of string values. In SQL this is a simple matter with syntax like WHERE status IN ('PT', 'PD', 'PDC', 'DIP', 'TIP') I basically want to do the same thing in my ASP page.
I know I can use code like the following and am doing so now. I'm just looking for a more simple method. Code:
i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith but it only displays John Code:
SELECT * FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT * FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order. My tryout: SELECT * FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID & " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?
I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.
The problems seems to do with formatting the text in the variable with <span>s using stylesheets, or if there are " and ' markes in the post proper (which I can't seemt to remove with Replace). Here's my code:
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing it like so:
temp1=rs("Company") temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a string with an empty string?
I am using ASP to connect to a simple database to retreive information and also to imput information.What I need is a simple dns connection string syntax to connect and query data.
How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace() functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)
I am storing some strings via asp.net in my dbase. The string looks like this:
Well, that`s just a simple level 100 quiz aiming to imprint ""standard random number generators are not really random"" program to those who still lack it. What will produce the following C# snippet? ‘ ....
Now I am reading these values via ASP and need to print them out.
Unfortunaly it does not UnCode the string back so that I can show it to the user. I know I could use the replace function but I wont replace all chars, there are many from this type. What can I do?
I'm trying to see if a certain string matches a predefined string so I've tried:
-------------- If txtCondition3 = "NO THEFT COVER unless client claim free and occupied prems for 3 yrs" Then response.write "1st condition" Else response.write "2nd condition" End If --------------
I have a form with multiple text fields, when i submit the form i want it to edit a table in my database using UPDATE. I know i have the syntax correct. The problem I have is 2 fields are Currency and 2 are Date. The request.form command always returns a string and i keep getting the 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression' error. How do i convert the strings to dates, and strings to Currencies.
I am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?
i have 2 strings: a value in an array and a variable from some xml. I need to numeriaclly add them together, as they are both strings, using + doesn't work. I have tried cStr but it errors what do I do?
I've got a couple of strings I use to validate emails.
I have no idea what either of them do or what they mean! I found them, they work, so I use them!
Could somebody let me know what these mean? My guess is that the longer string is better, simply because it tests more thoroughly, but I could be mistaken.
I have problem with what is seen in address bar. I need a code to encode my queryStrings and again decode it in the destination.So ther will be just unkown charecters for users in the address bar
What I have is an ASP page that starts off with multiple ways to access a project list and other pages via mysql queries. One of those is a button with the following
From this button I'm wanting to pass a variable to acknowledge that it is ONLY wanting ACTIVE projects and also what was originally already there which is the MySort for sorting by different columns. The next page has the following I cut out some irrelevant stuff. Code:
I have a bit of a problem with UK Post code strings, as you guys in the UK will know, our postcodes are alpha numeric.
LL12 4RS, C4 4GF, DG1 7HD etc etc...
What I need to do is grab the first letter(s) of the post code, ignoring the rest of it. Now, 'cos it can be either 1 or 2 (and in some weird cases 3) letters, I can't do a simple left() on it.I'm guessing something like a regexp will be the way to go? (but I'm a bit hazy on the reg exp thing)
I want to save a list of values in a cookie. I already use 1 key of the cookie to save the username. What I want to do is save a list of values as one string by using some kind of separator character.
There may be any number of these values including none. What is a good character to use to separate values? What commands do i use to split a string on the separator character into several strings?
I am using this connection string (DSNless) for the database driven website. "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:inetpubwwwrootdatabaseInventory.mdb"
where Dreamweaver could connect driver to testing server
in javascript attempting to get a string from somewhere sometimes will give you a string reading "undefined" or "object" now i know that this sort of thing happens in vbscript too, if i'm writing a universal "convert anything to a string" function what do i need to check for so that anything like "undefined" or "null" (or NULL) get's converted into ""?
