While working on some multilingual code I found a rather strange thing
happening with Server.HTMLEncode.
While loading different languages I change the Codepage and Charset in
ASP to reflect the language. This all works fine. However when I tried
to use Charset UTF-8 with Codepage 65001 everywhere I found that
HTMLEncode always translates all UTF-8 characters to &#xxxx. Code:
Is it useful to ALWAYS use Server.HTMLEncode when writing data read from a db? Ex. Response.Write (Server.HTMLEncode(var)) instead of Response.Write var
Normally when I do serverside processing and if the string may contain < or > characters in the userdata I would do:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode(userdata)%>
However if I'm doing client side processing is there any equivalent VB function that I can call to do just that, or do I have to write my own routine to convert < to < and > to >, etc?
I have a website where people can enter comments into a textarea - some of these may have a bit of html - like links - or <blockquote>
the comments are stored in a Access2000 mdb file - A friend told me that i have to use htmlencode on the textarea string before storing it in the database. but it seems to work fine without doing this - is there any reason as to why i should put it thru htmlencode? when the comments are displayed they are written straight into a <div>
If I want to encode all inputs from user, can I apply this encoding for all "Input" fields on my site in a single action. Something like Input.HtmlEncodeAll() or HtmlEncodeAllInputs() etc.
I am creating an application for work and have run into a problem.
I have a form that has a comments field in it. When I create a new entry in the DB (Oracle BTW), I just use this:
Server.HTMLEncode("pmcomments")
This works great for any special characters that people may use.
The problem is when I go to edit this entry and try to update the comments field. Using HTMLEncode does not seem to work when I'm doing an "UPDATE" to the DB instead of an "INSERT". I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle (0x80040E14) ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended /COMM_CENTER/mmf/mmf_save_1.asp, line 71
Which obviously means it's not converting the string that I'm attempting to edit in the DB....

I need to read a SQL Server table into a Web Page and within the Web Page to permit my users to make changes to the records, delete or add new records and then save the entire contents back to the SQL Server table back.
The functionality I am looking is almost the same as In the SQL Enterprise Manager whereby I can choose a table open the table and then return all rows and I can maintain the same and save it back to the SQL Server table. I want almost a similar web interface to such a functionality.
Even if not a generic functionality as the SQL Enterprise Manager table maintenance appreciate if somebody can share the code with a sample how I can do it in ASP pages + T-SQL if need be.
I have created a form that sends email thru my local server. What I want to do is send the email thru our corporate Exchange server. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this task? Please advise. Thanks.
I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form.
Most of the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents.
The documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?
I have an application that needs to pull files from an internal server. This is the setup. The web server is external facing, meaning exposed to the internet. I then have a file server that sits inside our domain. I created a COM object that can impersonate a user to retrieve files from that server. However, I cannot get the application to pull files from the internal server.
I first tried a domain account that could reach both servers. This did not work. I then had the network team create the same account on both machines. This is not working either. I can impersonate the user (I am able to get the user/users authenticated), but the script keeps coming back with and access denied. Code:
I'm stumped by one single thing when using Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0. I'm sending an XML-formatted text string to a foreign server and getting a response back (using Windows 2000 Server and IIS). The problem is, when they send any special characters in the response string, my application chokes. Code:
I'm incharge of updating the stats on a chl hockey teams Web Site. I would like to know if there is a way to be able to save the content of the CHL Statistics WebPage on our Server and using it to update our Microsoft Access 2000 database.
If it possible, then I would take the content of that page. Execute some code that will take this information an place it in our database on our server. By doing this, our Team WebSite would be update automaticaly at a time that I specify on our server.
At this time, I have to open the CHL Statistics WebPage. Then Save the HTML page as a txt file, upload it on our server via FTP, then execute my my code that places it in our database.
I have a server that we installed a Web Application (ASP) and It works with a few clients that we tested, IE 5.5, and it does not work on the server machine itself. So we've tested a few thing.
Created a simple file with the contents of <html> <body> Hello World </body> </html> Made one with .HTM extension and one with .ASP.
I can see the HTM file from all machines. I can only see the .ASP file on the machine running IE 5.5 The server itself cannot see the .ASP page. We places the files in the root of the server web and in the Application folder with the same results.
Any one has Idea, How to use Server.Transfer and Server.Execute, When I tried to use these methods I got an eror:
Server object error 'ASP 0230 : 80004005' Server.Transfer Error /SISWeb/portal_logon.asp, line 40 The call to Server.Transfer failed while loading the page.
anybody is there who can respond to this problem. Do I need to change any setting at IIS?
How do you use server.mappath to update a access database on a completely different computer? One of my websites needs to update a database on a completely different website. Code:
I've recently uploaded a site to a new ISP, which is on a Win2003 platform. I've had a problem in that the existing ASP scripts handling email form submissions all experience the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied
From what I can gather this is due to moving from Win2000 to Win2003, and specifically the problem lies in this line of code: ....
I fire the following code on Index Server (different obj) and it returns a PDFs no problem, but when I change the object to use the MSSearch for Site Server I don't get any PDFs. Anything in the code that would cause this? I can see the PDFs getting crawled in Site Server, but when I try and search I don't get any pdfs .....
Previously I have canvassed a few way to get a registration code from one server to another - checking the results of the search and returning a function in a string tro be executed at the end. Well that worked until one of my beta testers decided that he would fiffle and get around the syste mmm...
i'm using a model, view, control architecture for a group of .asp pages.
i can't decide whether to use Server.Transfer or Server.Execute to pass posted data from my control to my model. are there security implications for using Server.Execute?
just wanting some advice on pros/cons to each of these since this is the first time i'm attempting to use these methods.
I accept a few user inputs and a file from the user, post it to my ASP page. I'm able to receive the data as well as the file properly in Receiver.asp. In my receiver.asp, I need to process the user inputs and subsequently POST this data and the file again to a different server. I would like to use ServerXMLHttp. Now, how do I simulate Form creation in receiver.asp.
I use the following code to post to the second server MyXmlHttp.open "post", myTargetURL,false MyXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "multipart/form-data"
Now here's where I get stuck.
1) How do I construct the form data? How can I put together the data i received (which is text) as well as the received file (which is Binary) in the same Send statement for the Post? -- I assume that if HTML forms do it in some format, I should be able to simulate the same through ASP, but how???
2) The received file will not be stored anywhere in my server. It has to be forwarded in memory.
my prob is i have 2 different computers, one that runs my asp pages and the other my database server (mySQL). im working on my local and trying to connect my remote database with my remote webserver using DSNless connection string as more advisable. Code:
