I need to set a default option
for a combo box that is not the first item in that combo box. Below
is an example. I can put the code below into a simple HTML file and
it works fine. It does NOT work in a ASP 3.0 app. I have tried two
seperate ASP apps as an example and NEITHER work. Code:
How do I display 'Please Select' as the default value my code is below.Code:

<option value="<%=Trim(rsDistMags("magcode"))%>"<%If Request("magcode") = Trim(rsDistMags("magcode")) Then Response.Write " Selected" End If%>><%=Trim(rsDistMags("magcode"))%></option>
<%rsDistMags.MoveNext
Loop%>

All I want to do is set a session variable in my default page which points to a directory on my server where all media for my site is contained. Now, I used a session variable to do this, and fell into a trap. Say I set it up like this:
Session("mediadir")="D:dev<sitename>media". Now, when anyone looks at my site, the mediadir variable is trying to point to their d:dev.... What should I do. I know it is crazy, but I have mental blank.
I have several asp pages which contains maps and I would like to provide an
easy way for users to print this maps and they do not have to go through
printer setup before they hit print on browser. I need to pre set the printer
to landscape and 11x17 from my asp page. Is it possible? How can I do this?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

Below is an extract from a form that i am writing. I need the user to be able to have a drop down menu of languages. How do I use the 'option value' command in ASP like you can do in HTML.If someone could amend my code to give me a couple of language options so I can get an idea of how it is down.
<tr id="r_Lang">
<td class="ewTableHeader"><span>Language<span class='ewmsg'> *</span></span></td>
<td class="ewTableAltRow"><span id="cb_x_Lang">
<input type="text" name="x_Lang" id="x_Lang" size="30" maxlength="25" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_Lang&"") %>">

i have a dynamically created drop down menu where the values are pulled from our database. i've been trying with no success to pass those values to the page but it never works.
how do you pass the values from the <option value="<%=...%></option>? i thought you recalled it in the sql statement like:
Code:
" WHERE Something = '" & Request.Form("optionvalue") & "' "
if for list box, check box or radio button. in asp. how can i write to make it a default value??
View Replies View RelatedI'm using a binary stream to send down a file from the web server. I've been having trouble with IE and getting it to recognize my file. I've added the filename as a paramater(?filename=file.jpgw) to handle IE's mime type mangling, but I'm still having trouble with IE's default Save As Type being HTML. When we send down a jpgw (geo-jpeg) file IE wants to save it as an HTML file. I've got the correct filename showing in the Filename box, and if I choose the All Files option from the Save As Type drop down then the file is saved with the correct extension. I'd like to have the All Files option choosen by default. I know it's just a couple of clicks but we have some noivce users that can't seem to get that
View Replies View RelatedI wrote an application that generates reports.It then presents a page where
I click a button [javascript:print()] to open the print page. However, I
have a fixed printer and would like to know how to print to the default
printer without me clicking anything. So the page will just load up and
print. Or when I click a button. I just don't want the select printer screen
to pop up. Much similar to clicking the print button on top of the address
bar in Internet Explorer.
my new site uses default.asp, instead of using index.asp. this is how my old site was done. now i get error 500. is this because it is trying to find index.asp or because my database isn;t workjing properly? i'm tired and being stupid i think. it's reall probably the database, but i just want to make sure in my sleep deprived state.

View Replies View RelatedI have a form named: 'formhandheld' and a select with the name: 'pricing_option'.
I'm trying to make the select <option> thats based on 'axDD3current' selected.

the above doesn't work
Here is my page:

</select>
<input type=text name=forename disabled>

when inserting on the database,the value of the dropdown option is the same as the value of the textbox which is wrong.they must not have the same values example
when Pan is selected,then the value inserted to the database must be "pam" not Arnold.

I want to know if you can write a print this page option to a page. I want to write this function in asp or vbscript. I know you can do this in javascript but I don't want tot use this. I also know there is a print fuinction in the browser this is also not what I'm looking for.
I want a piece of tekst which say something like "print this page" When you click on it a asp or vbscript will print the page to your own printer.
I need to know if this is possible and what the code is.

View Replies View RelatedI have loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.
Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.
I have a select list that gets populated from the DB. When the user makes a selection I am able to retrieve this value via Request.Form(...) However, I am wondering if you can retrieve the text value using ASP? I know this can be done in JavaScript using the options text attribute, but it is possible in ASP?
