Two ASP Related Questions - SSI And Links
I am designing a Web site with about 500 - 600 pages of festivals on it and would like opinions on two ASP subjects. I have designed about 20 pages or so as of now. These are the contact us, FAQ, about us pages and such. I also have a template to go by for each festival's page. But I have two problems I need fixed before I start to replicate.
(1) SSI and styles - There are four sections to each page. I use SSI (ASP virtual version) for the top, bottom and a small section of featured festivals (which is above the bottom) on each page. Between the top and featured festivals is the actual page. This way I can change a link on the top or bottom and it is fixed on all pages.
But, I have an enormous amount of styles listed (all styles on four pages) in the code from each page's fonts. Each page's styles are called something different. For example, the festival page itself has the styles as normal, ".style1." But the styles on the top the links, which once again is an ASP include, would be called ".style1top." I used that approach because .style1 on the festival page and top links could be different.
It works, but I have dirty code and I want the site to be as Google friendly as possible. I have thought about adding all the styles to a page and using it as an ASP include on all pages, but that would have way too many styles each page and be even dirtier. What is the best practice for this? Code:

Q1. How do I send 2 dates to a stored query in access. What I have in the
query so far is
Select * from tblOrders where Date_Archived between #3/01/04# and #3/31/04#
What I want is to send to variables to this query that the user inputs.
Q2. I know that this is probably not the right group but I am trying to
trim a string (first name to 1 letter) in an SQL statement.
Does any one know how to do this? I do not want to use ASP as I will be
build a complete CSV file on the file (column names and data)

I never used any ASP or ASP.NET and i want to know if this is something worth learning.
I am about to start learning PHP (i know PHP a litle bit already) but will it be better to learn ASP.NET instead?
How does ASP.NET compares to PHP? I know that PHP is free, what about ASP.NET? Which is easier to learn/implement? Which is faster? Which is more powerful? What are the strong/weak points of each?

i hope no one is getting sick of my server.execute/transfer questions..
does server.execute return a value? im wondering what happens if an error
occurs in the .asp file that i'm calling with the server.execute command??
is there a value/flag i can set in the case of an error that can be seen
once i return to the calling page? if not i was thinking that i would have
to use a session variable for my error handling.
i want to stay true to the model, view, control architecture so i don't want
to simply redirect in the case of an error - i want to send a value back to
my control page which will decide where to go.

I was reading up on sessions, and on websites they don't mention "passing" session varables. But the guys on this form are asking questions about passing session variables. So what is it? Can you or can you not pass variables? I don't think you can pass session variables, since they are just cookies.
Second, does the session expire when the brower closes? I know it expires with Session.Abandon or it times out.
For my project I need to the user to login and do his/her stuff. The session should expire by timeout, or logout link (Session.Abandon) and when they close the browser. My guess is that when the browser window closes the session expires. I just need to make sure about those two things.

I am trying to create a hashtable in ASP. I need this to be on the application level,
i.e. each page from different users calls the same table. I figured the best way to
do this is through a recordset.
I need it super fast so I want it loaded into memory (RAM) and be altered in memory. What is the best way to do this? I found all these different connection types, but nothing seems to fit this purpose.

A week or so ago, I needed to find the HTTP_REFERER environment
variable to check and see if a user is coming from a certain website:
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")_
= "http://localhost/mydir/page1.aspx" then
response.write "Click on a menu choice"
else
response.write "check back later
end if
I have a page nested in an IFRAME (for example framepage1.aspx or
..asp), and I need to check to see if a user is coming to (not coming
from ) a certain page where the framepage1.aspx is (the
framepage1.aspx could appear in not only page1.aspx, but page2.aspx ,
or page3). I'm not sure how to accomplish this given that the
HTTP_REFERER checks on address only incoming.

I have seen sites that have asp searches and have a textbox and a search button and when the search button is clicked a search results field is displayed on the same page. Im having problems grasping how this works.
I am assuming that it states that if search is clicked then display the search results field. But how does it do this? Does the entire page reload? Is it a table that have attributes set to invisible then are change to visible? Anyone with an example or that can point me in the right direction please let me know.

i have a table with sno, userid, name, age, level
where level means the type of grade a person has like A,B it may even be Numbers on a scale of 1 to 5
the sno is declared as a rowid datatype
if i want to update any record i have to give the existing userid ( primary key ) and even update the primary key if there are no duplicates (obviously)
so when the userid is entered i am selecting the rowid where userid = request("")
and storing that rowid value in a variable to perform update operation in the next few steps
i am getting a type mismatch when i am doing the assignment
is there somethin wrong in the code ( that i need to check again ) or that sort of assignment cant be done
( i am still tryin to get it right as i write this thread )
i have one more ques: does the rowid value remain constant that is when i do a delete operation on one row and then subsequently a update operation on another row in the same table will the rowid's get mixed up and mess up my data.

I keep reading that Session variables are evil things to be avoided. Is it
really that awful to use them? If you shouldn't use them, then what is the
preferred alternate method for accessing data across an entire solution?
Would it really be so bad to set something as simple as Session("login") =
true Session(user)=username when a user logs in and just read those
variables on an include for every page to display the user name?
Is it true that a user has to allow cookies in order for a session variable
to be used? I thought the point of session variables was to set things on
the server side so that you didn't have to worry about cookies being allowed
by the user?
What is the generally preferred method of storing a shopping cart?
Database, cookies or server variables? All I need to save is the product #
and quantity. Would it be evil to store that in a dictionary object or a
collection? My profs at the college said cookies were the way to go. My
co-workers say use a database. My mentor says use a dictionary object.

I've made an access script user based for a forum, so, I'm not sure what to store in the cookie. I think to store just the user_id (the one in the users table referred to the logged user) but is this way sure ? is anyway to hack it simple ? I know that nothing is 100% secured, but not too simple to hack.
Have I to store other informations like session id or something other ?
Another question is for the login form... Somebody checks if the session.id of the user is the same between the page containing the login form and the page that checks informations... but is this really useful ? infact is an user stops on the first page (the one where is the login form too) reading something until the session goes to timeout then the check session fails...

I have a voting system that works perfect. It calculates the % of votes and shows the total percentage that people picked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and a total.
However, I want to be able to select the top 3 of those, and highlight the row, using a bgColor variable that I have defined. The problem with this is that I am calculating the %'s as I am writing the rows, and do not know how to check to see if that row is one of the top 3.

Is there a way to perform multiple actions on a SUBMIT with ASP?
Example, I have a submit button that when it is pressed, it performs an action where information is stored in the database using a stored procedure. Can I also write out a flat file of the information saved separately or something parallel without hendering the original submit? I would want to do these two requests at the same time on the submit. Is it possible? Can someone give me some guidance on this?

I would like to know how many rows and columns are created in the following array. Is it 10 rows and 2 columns or is it 10 columns and 2 rows? Dim Array(9,1)
I have searched for some info about it but not found any consensus. Some sources claim that the first number symbolizes the rows and the second number the columns and other sources claim the opposite. I am confused.
What is it really like? How many rows and columns?
Assume that I need an array with 2 columns and 5 rows then how should it be declared (4,1) or (1,4)?
Which is the first dimension and which dimension it the second one? Horizontally (first/second) vs vertically (first/second)?
How are the various elements called, for example how is the element on the first row in the 5th column called. By using (0,4) or (4,0)?
Assume that I want to store first and last names in two separate columns in an array and then expand the array by using Redim/preserve. The dimension I want to expand is the one with the rows because I view the array as a table with two columns.
I know there are certain rules that apply when it comes to using Redim/preserve on multidimensional arrays. Only the last dimension can be changed etc. How could that be done in this case? I am mainly interested in the declaration (1,x) or (x,1), where 1 is the number of columns and x number of rows (that is increased).

I normally work with MS Access databases using ASP pages. I have been
given the opprotunity to work on some available SQL server space, and
wanted to ask a couple of questions. The following is a simple update
query that I use. It is an ASP page that connects to an MS Access Db:
<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
myDSN = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
myDSN = myDSN & "DBQ=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdatabase003.mdb"
mySQL="UPDATE SKUList SET SKUList.Department='Furniture' WHERE
SKU='123456'"
Conn.Open(myDSN)
Conn.Execute(mySQL)
Conn.Close
Set Conn = Nothing
%>
I was wondering if someone could tell me (or better yet show me) how
this code would look in a SQL server enviroment. I have no information
on the server itself as the database will be setup for me, and I will
just need to create ASP pages to connect.

I am developing a system for a certain use and now all the major programming is done. The next step is to include error checking for all the forms (there are 9 pages with forms to add data and 7 for editing, so total 16 forms)
I just started with the most simplest and I was wondering if anyone had a good suggestion on how to validate Dates?
I was also wondering if its possible for example to write a data validation script which I can use for all pages, because like one page has 90% date fields.
If so, how can I accomplish that? Won't I need to pass the name of the text fields in some way too?
Is it possible to do that for other similar fields too, like first name, last name, phone number?
Oh yeah, the way the entering of dates works is that there are three separate text boxes, for Month, Day and Year. So a case date is divided into, case_mm, case_dd and case_yyyy.

This is the code I have so far:
I take the email address and split at the "@" symbol. Then I split at the "." sign to get the firstname and lastname.
Most of the times, the email address is of the format:
FirstName.LastName@company.com
However at times, the email address can be just firstname@company.com
At such instances the code fails, how do I check for the instance of . before I split it again?

Access db, one table, 12 or so fields (id, item_name, category, manufacture, price, description etc.)... (ecomm site).
When displaying the details of a particular item I want to display "related items" below it. All I do now is pull info depending on the item id then display the size, dimensions, description, photo etc.
Lets say the item is a Large Blue Widget, i want to display related items... say "Large Widget Covers" or/and "Large Widget Accessories"... you get the idea... cross selling
So, I am looking for ideas on how to simplify the display of related items.

When adding i am checking if that name already exists in the DB and if so i am poping up the message that name already existing.
It is working perfectly in my win2000prof and i have tested in both in my localhost and ftp servers and in both places it is working as i ahve expected.
But when the same application is opened in winxp i have a strange problem coming. When i add a new list , then it checks for the name and what happens is every time i add a new one and even if there is no matching record or matching name avialable for that record, javascript popups saying "Favourite List Name Already Exists" and the strangest part is the insert part also working. That is both if and else part are working together. I am getting this problem only in XP. Code:

Do you think it's posible to DISABLE a checkbox and the value associated with it, based on the DATE apearing in one of the columns in my database? Example,
I will loop through a list of series of products from my database, and I will put an automatic checkbox infront of any row in my form. I want ASP to automaticly disable the checkbox (can't be clicked on) if the date associated with it is older than 3 years.
