View RepliesDoes anyone use a funtion to highlight search terms (if they have a search facility on their site). Basically, I would be sending the search terms from a form field into a results page.
If there are results I would like the search terms to be highlighted. One problem that I could think while using "replace" is that capitalisation would not be maintained.
i am developing a search engine(ASP with SQL SERVER) for my project . My objective is to search for a data and it should display the result and highlighting the search text in different color. But when i use the search text with more than one word, the result is highlighting only the last word of the search text.
Example - If i search for "Opal" , the search result highlighting all the words with "opal", But when is search "Opal Service", the search result is highlighting only the "service".
Here the "Opal" and "service" are different identities, i will search these two words with AND condition . Code:
I don't know if I accidentally play around with the script. But now it's showing error:

Code:
strText = mobjRegExp.Replace(strText,strReplace)
I've created a little search engine that works fine, but I want to highlight the keywords in an article.
Using the replace function is OK, but its not very good when covering different cases. Its fine on single word searches but no good with multiple words.
eg. if I search for "dog", I can do a replacement on "dog", "DOG" and "Dog" using the replace function.
If I was to search for "black dog", I need to cover all possible variants. ("Black Dog", "BLACK DOG", "black dog", "Black dog", "black Dog")
Is there any way of getting this to work?
Ive created a web page that queries a db and i have that all working fine. What i dont have though and would like to be able to do is get the page to highlight rows according to one colums value, ie

Row 1 50 Test <-- would like to the be highlihted lite blue for instance
Row 2 90 Test2 <-- would like this to be highlighted red for instance
I have a SQL query that produces a table which displays account numbers and the amount owed on those accounts.
the page that displays that table is written with ASP. Does anyone know how can I highlight the rows in the table where account numbers have more than 7500 dollars in amount owed? Code:
i am working on an application...where i have to search for a string in the database field or text files.when the search finds the string i want it to be highlighted when it showas the result on the asp page.
eg:
iam searching for a skill in the resumes...take JAVA...i want the resulting resume on the asp page with the JAVA string highlighted
point me in the direction of a function that will parse
a "code" output and colorise the context of the script?
eg - vbulletin style [code] output
I have setup a simple site in which users input data to an access database, and then the database results are shown on another page in a table. One of the fields in the databse is Date Added, using the date/time data type.
I would like the table to show new results with a different background colour for a period of time, say one week? Code:
I have a simple script which boiled down to highlighting search terms... Code:
if Trim(Request.QueryString("search"))<>"" then
cont = Replace(cont,Request.QueryString("search"),"<span style=""background-color:#ff0"">"&Request.QueryString("search")&"</span>",1,-1,1)
end if
this worked fine, however if the string I was searching was within an <a> tag, the inevitable would happen and an error would come up. I was wondering if anyone knows a way or if there is a script readily available to tackle this issue?
The very same page has 2 iFrames opening another page called tripledemoduo.asp. So there are 2 tripledemoduo.asp's opening within the 2 iFrames. Within a tripledemoduo.asp page there are the textboxes for inserting the keywords.
See the picture.
is it possible to move out the 6 textboxes from the iFrames and make 1 set of 6 instead of 2 sets of 6? That would make my life easier because I use this to compare two texts side by side by searching keywords. For example I put one keyword in red in both iFrames.
I am looking for Site Search Script, which should include paging of results and highlighting the search text.
Just like search using in this forum. Its sould have paging and highlighting the results under each hyperlink....
I have this problem in controlling a the text in a Text Area. How can I do

goes to the next line. Bcoz im having problem when viewing it in my report,
it continuesly views in a strieght line and im having problem in printing.
When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?
I have a text area which I want to limit the number of words or number of text entered into it. Is this possible?
<textarea name="textarea" cols="35" rows="5"></textarea>
In the text area above, can I say limit the person filling in the text area to say 100 characters?
I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads.
It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the
user.
The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should
read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP"
.. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it
is doing it. Here is the sample code:
With quotes around <%= vdesc%>
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>
And I tried it without.
I have text in a field coming from a database. The text has various
forms such as:
text1
text1 or text2
text1 or text2 or text3
text1; or text2
text1; or text2; or text3
etc...
how can I parse this with a reg ex? I tried this:
(.+);? or
but it only captures 1 submatch (text1) and only if theres an "or"
after it
I'd like to get 1 submatch for each piece of text separated by the
"or", just the text itself if there is no or.
Anyone know how to do it?
I have this problem in controlling a text in a Text Area. How can I do that, for example the field size is 200, when it reaches 50 it automatically goes to the next line. Because im having problem when viewing text in my report, it continuesly views in a straight line. Can you give me ASP code for that.

I have an ASP page to be used as a Softball Roster. The user will enter their roster information and the information will then go into a SQL database. My problem is this...

As an example what I get for my variable PlayerFirstName is Joe, John, Henry, Alex. I only want one name at a time so that I can import them into SQL. How do I parse my line apart so that I can loop through it and pull off only one item at a time and put it into SQL?
how can i write a line to a text file? also, how can i put every line of a text file into an array - and see whether a value mathes any of the lines in the array?
View Replies View RelatedI'm writing an intranet and I need to put something like a non-editable
scrolling text box on the home page where daily announcements can be placed.
I've tried adding a scrolling text box, but I am not sure how to make it
non-editable.
Is there any way I can fill the textbox using something like
textstream? I would imagine one person in the organisation would be in
charge of adding this text somehow. I'm a bit lost in trying to find the
best method.
Do you guys know how to parse an input(text) to verify if it contains special characters. The input should accept numbers or letters only.

View Replies View RelatedI have a form with multiple records.
My intention is to have the user click a checkbox for each product he wants.
Then submit the form placing multiple items in his cart.
If I use a text box like the following and enter a 1 for each product,
submit, no problem.
The user gets the products he wants.
<input name="qty" type="text" value="0">
However, if I use the following checkbox code, and assuming the user checks
4 products half way down the page, he will get the first 4 products in the
recordset. If he clicks 1 checkbox, he will always get the first product,
not the product he chose. <input name="qty" type="checkbox" value="1">
What I have found is when I submit the form to a blank test page using
checkoxes or text boxes, there's a considerable difference. The text boxes
deliver a comma delimination for each occurance. The checkboxes only offer
comma delimination for each checkbox that is selected. At this point, I'm
assuming that's the difference between the two and it cannot be changed
through HTML.
