I have an ASP page which has a form for user to input some information and it gets stored in an Access database. The problem i am having is when a person enters a name with a special character, like Macy's, it gives a Jet database error.
What i am looking for is for a way to remove special characters from the form field in question, like apostrophes, when they tab to the next field. So if they input Macy's, when they go to the next field the previous field gets updated to Macys instead.
Could some help m figure out to strip an unknown range of characters in a path between the first "/" and "/" found in a folder path somewhere on my site. Code:
I'm using XMLHTTP to perform a simple screen scraping job. When I try to have it "scrape" lines with embeded CSS declarations, it renders them incorrectly, stripping the leading period. Consequently, my CSS doesn't work.Here's how I'm calling it, but I don't think my implementation is the problem.
Dim srvXmlHttp Set srvXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") srvXmlHttp.open "GET", TearURL, false srvXmlHttp.send() If srvXmlHttp.status <> 200 Then Response.Write "No Server Response" Response.End End If Dim strRetval5 strRetval5 = srvXmlHttp.responseText
We have an unusual situation at the USC School of Medicine; we have to covert every Web page to a template. The template is too wide to print and a lot of our students print lectures, notes, etc. We thought we could keep to the template and draw in the content from other files by using includes. BUT these files are HTML files and therefore, have Body commands in them. If this could work, we could put a printable link back to the other page and it would print. Seems like a great solution except for the extra body commands. We are using ASP for our scripting.
1. How much of a boondoggle will it be if the files have two body commands in them. How many browsers would it break?
2. Is there a scripting way around this without creating some objects?
3. Is there something out there -- shareware or commercial -- that would fix this problem.
4. Could something be done about this using pearl, for example?
We'd really like to do it this way because we can have the users create the content, use the same file names all the time, thus overwriting the old file, and the user would never get a chance to screw up the template.
The following pattern is used to strip HTML tags from a string. I need to remove the tags only if they contain a colon. Is it possible? How can I modify this regexp pattern to match only if a colon exists between the "<" and ">" ? Code:
I think a regular expression maybe the solution to the problem I have. My problem is I am pulling a list from a database which I want to list alphabetically. The problem is, the records are stored with a number before them:
eg."762348 - RecordA" --> So I want just the "RecordA" bit so I can list alphabetically. What I want to do is strip off everything at the beginning up to the first Alphabetic character. Is a regular expression the way to go?
The included file is html-rich, and if included in default.asp, it displays as such. However, as I am attempting to make my website accessible, I wish to be able to strip out the html tags on the included page dynamically.

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?
What I am trying to do could be simple but I have no idea how to it. I am trying to display only a part of the record retrieved from database. I have retrieve data from database and I show it in normal way <% = oRs(0)%>, the problem is that I want to show only 100 first characters and then make some thing like this … after 100 first character. In this way all the data retrieved would look the same in the page.
One of our offices in AD is called "Albert St", the OU is called "Albert St", but when I retrieve the value out of the list box it becomes "Albert" and throws errors as it cant find the "Albert" OU. Not surprising, really. I am going to try type casting, but beyond that

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made? I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
