I know that using Session.Contents is frowned upon by some.
But I feel I am in situation where I cannot avoid it. I think it is better
than using a QueryString.
Is there a length on the Session.Contents variable length
i.e., Session.Contents("myVariable") = "............"
what is the max length that can be set for myVariable
I currently have a program that crashes if the sessionid is longer
than 9 digits. Is there a way to trim the length of the string that
IIS kicks out and limit it to 9 digits, or if that can't be done, is
there a function I can use to trim the 10 digit string down to 9
digits?
I have the following code:
for each SesVar in Session.Contents
if( Session.Contents(SesVar) <> "" ) then
The problem is that most of the time this works okay, but sometimes the code
crashes on the compare.
for each item in Session.Contents
if NOT( Instr( item, "customer_" ) = 1 OR Instr( item, "user_" ) = 1 ) Then
Session.Contents( item ) = ""
Session.Contents.Remove( item )
end if
next 'item
response.redirect( "menu.asp" )
the code essentially - is supposed to - go through the session variables and remove every one that doesn't being with "user_" or "customer_". So when i try this out, it goes through and removes some, but not all of the session variables in question.
run the script 3 more times and then they are all gone. So i inserted a bunch of response.write statements and found that not ALL of the session variables were even being tested. Can anyone offer explanations as to why?
I have NT4 and I installed recently PWS. Otherwise it works okay, but when I try to use Session.contents.RemoveAll on an ASP-page the following message appears on my screen: Object does not support,I get the message in Finnish,what the problem.

This thread is not so much a big problem, but more to receive comments on my approach. You may have some other tips or advices of where to go or where absolutely not to go with my attempts. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have an asp page that uploads a text file, with SQL Statements inside.
After I upload the file, I want to execute the statements and then delete the file from the server.
The problem is: when I read the first Sql statement, it gives an error when I try to execute it I get a "Identifier that starts with 'INTO blah blah' is to long. Maximum length is 128.
But when I response.write the variable it shows the whole string, all +-600 chars of it.
So is this a DB Problem? (I'm using SQL Server 2000)
And how would I change it, if it was?
I believe that it's possiblte to set the length of time that a visitor to a site can be inactive before their session time's out, but I don't know what the coding is or where it's placed. have never had to bother with this, but I've just started with a host, whose server seems to time-out my session after like 4 or 5 minutes

whats the maximum lenght of a url ?
View Replies View RelatedI think an url variable could be limited, maybe someone know the maximum length I can use ? (I try to send an html code with the get method, maybe some symbols could not be accepted in url).Is this length limited for a variable or for the url string ?
View Replies View RelatedI have a webpage with a form and i am saving the webpage using name value pairs. So i can give the users a link which they can click on and the form will open up prepopulated.
The problem i am having is that these forms can get exteremely long (hence the prepopulation facility) e.g test.asp?name=value?name1=value1?name2=value2
is there any way to increase the url in a browser or if you know of any other way i can accomplish this id appreciate ure feedback more detail regarding the above: I am allowing useers to save their forms with the data, also save multiple versions of the form (same form with diff data).
I have a question about the Max Referer length. By default this is 256. I am not fully sure I understand this property. It this a header that is sent back to the Server by a client and is it part of the URL.
While testing our Secure IIS I ahd the error come up I increased the value to 1080 and the error did not repeat!. But through my search the Max Referer lenght is always 256. SO I am trying to get feel for what the Referer really is, is it part of the HTTP 1.1 protocol?

I previously had a post on a problem with the Microsoft SQL server, when I was trying to compare a record in the database with an inputed record, if the record in the database was not exactly the same length as the inputed record, it would not match. i.e. user codes = OAK,BRANT,QUYOU etc.
Unfortunately these records have already been made and they vary in length from 2-5 characters. Im programming in VBscript, does anyone know any functions which will rectify this problem?
i've tried the trim function but this has no effect, I could just change the length of the column so that they are all a similar length and thus will all be comparable, however this is certainly not ideal as an id code only two characters long is not unique, some of the records will clash.
I would like to avoid changing all the records as there are 25 different codes for about 10,000 records. im sure there is some code which could accomplish this but ideally I would like to solve the problem at source.
We have web site on IIS 5.0 for sending purchase-orders to database on MS
SQL through ASP and ADO. The purchase-order is being sending to .asp script
as web request, but the script recieves only the first 2088 characters of
request. Is it possible to increase this parameter somehow, or to set it
unlimited? Does the IE limit the request length, or IIS?

I need asp code for validations that needs to check if the value of the querystring variable received was alphanumeric and length of 7 characters.

View Replies View RelatedCategories are beïng used out of a database to make a menu, example given:
menuitem 1 | menuitem 2 | menuitem 3 | menuitem 4 | ...
This all works, but the table width can only be 770 pixels.
If the menu structure is going to be wider than 770 pixels it has got to be devided into 2 or more lines.Is it possible to determine the pixels word by word?Or is there another possibility?On Google I read it would be possible in java, php,Only I didn't find anything that refers to ASP.
I'm really at wits end on this as I'm not having much success with locating a function or other options I have. I'm working on a message board for a website and I'm needing to check the length of the words that users put in.
For example, when someone puts in "yesssssssssssss!", I put together a small function that omits all of the s's as this is wreaking havoc on the layout of tables within the site. But I don't have a solution if someone types in "ssss sasdfjskldjfaskld;jfaskdf" as random ambiguous letters.
I know I can check the length of the entire string but don't know to check the words
within it.

Scenario: I have an ASP form that serves to the browser, anything from 1 to 20 rows of textboxes. How I've implemented this is that the user specifies in th previous page how many rows he intends to add, and then the form uses that value in a FOR...NEXT loop to serve the HTML that creates those textboxes. Each textbox is given a unique name based on the current iteration of the FOR loop.
Now, where i've had a prob is that on the submission of this "variable-row" form, I'd like for ASP to be able to tell me how many rows the user entered. I tried using request.form.length already, but no luck there (ASP says it's not supported).

View Replies View RelatedJust a thought, the code below checks to see that an email address submitted from a form check to see if that there is an @ sign and if the length of the email address is greater than 0.
If InStr(request.form("email"), "@") > 0 then
sSender = request.form("email")
Else
...
I can assume then that the code about makes the LEN function redundant?
If len(InStr(request.form("email"), "@") > 0) then
sSender = request.form("email")
Else
