I am including copyright information on one of my asp pages. The page is hosted on IIS on an XP Pro machine. I want it to look like this:
Copyright © 2004
the © does not display when the asp page is called, Instead a ? appears. I know its a simple character thing. How do i get the © to display properly?
The website that I am developing is having a search option. The search is according to the type of Industries, like IT-Software, IT-Hardware etc. I am using procedure to search through the database. Now whenever I Select an Industry name like IT - Software, FMCG/Foods/Beverages(i.e with special characters) etc. i get an error message Code:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '/'.
here is the code where I am getting the error
Code:
strSQL = "sp_getsearchvacancy " & sind & "," & sexper & "," & currentPage & "," & iRecordsPerPage
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn
this is same for every keyword having special characters like / , - and even space
But when I use keywords without any special character its works fine.
i have a problem in retirving special character like ¥ . the process is to save such special characters. through ASP page from client side. it gets saved in XML which is at Server Side. while typing the character on ASP page
there is no issue. but when i save it in XML it is saved as some different values. right now. i am dealing with it by replacing the values manually. but can anybody please help me to get some function or property. to convert and reconvert these characters, as its not possible to handle each speacial character manually.
How will you remove special characters from a text? What if my user just copies the text from a web page and then pastes it on a text area? Will special characters/invisible html tags get copied also? If so, how do you remove these special characters/invisible html tags?
View Replies View RelatedI have created an online form using ASP VBscript, however the form breaks when someone inputs quotation marks in the field. I have attempted to write a function that removes the quotation marks without any success.
Function CleanString(passedvalue)
Dim tmpvar
If passedvalue > "" then
tmpVar = Trim(Replace(passedvalue, "'", ""))
Return tmpvar
Else
Return ""
End if
End Function
I am having problems with special characters with database calls (if I'm
referring to this in the right way). the problem is with apostrophes of all
things. If an end user puts an apostrophe in something ASP will interprete
it as a delimiter. This is aggravating because I'm trying to make this as
simple for the end user as possible and if they can't place something in a
simple text field like "Joe's Bar" (which comes out as "Joe") then I have a
problem because I don't have a solution for this. It appears that this "
´ " is not quite the same as " ' " and I don't see a special
character for apostrophes either.
I was curious as to what kind needs to be done in order for special characters to be inputted into the database. I think using these characters in an input box don't work well when transferring with SQL. So when people are writing use something like ' an error comes up.

Through javascript i am forming a dynamic sql based on some selection criteria entered by the user. If i am trying to have an alias with '&', then on executing this through an ADODB object , the statement fails and i get an error as "from keyword not found"
For ex: If i have a SQL as
select emp_name as "Emp&Mgr" from emp;
on executing this i get the above mentioned error.
But SQL's with other special characters do work.
For ex: select emp_name as "Emp,Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp/Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp*Mgr" from emp;
How do i solve this problem.

View Replies View RelatedI have a form that is being sent using CDONTS. The problem is the form I'm sending has a lot of special characters (it's in Spanish) and while I know how to get the chars to display correctly on the page, they're not showing up correctly in the email.
They either show up like this:

or if I encode them, like this:
Country : Canadá
How can I get the email to display the correct character
Country : Canadá
I'm fairly new to ASP (I'm a PHP programmer) and have no clue how to do it.
I've noticed that the email is not set to encode in any special way like the equivalent for PHP......

Values found in our PdAmount field are either positive or negative.
Positive numbers are entered like $690.34

I will use something like:

Do until rs.eof
If rs(PdAmount) <> "" Then
'need function to check for positive
'if positive...remove "$" and add to total
'if negative...remove "(", "$", ")" and subtract from total

I'm trying to validate several fields using regular expressions and not sure how to allow spaces and special characters within the expression.
One field is for an address:
^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$
how can I allow spaces and special characters like a comma, number sign and periods. So, if some entered an address with a suite number or p.o. box where commas, periods and number signs can be used it would validate correctly. Right now, the expression is only checking for alfanumeric characters.
Another example is for validating a city field
^[a-zA-Z]+$
I need to allow spaces...i.e. San Diego, New York
