There has to be a simple method for un-encoding output from Server.URLEncode or Server.HTMLEncode using server-side VBScript but I just can't find it. I'd appreciate it very much if some sharp individual here would shove me in the right direction.
View RepliesWe are running ASP classic on IIS 5 on W2k SP4. We recently added <%
Response.charset="utf-8"%to the top of all our pages (as suggested by
validator.w3.org). A problem arose on a page which applies
Server.HTMLEncode to a field that was inputted from the user. The
problem is that when the user enters a phrase such as:
My Fiancé
The Server.URLEncode returns the value:
My Fiancé
which doesn't appear correct. When I take out the <%
Response.charset="utf-8"%line, it returns
My Fiancé
which displays correctly. Am i ok to just leave out the <%
Response.charset="utf-8"%line, or should I use a different charset?
or is there some other fix?
I've encountered an issue and I'm not sure what's going on. I've encoded the values in a querystring. When you hover over the link, it doesn't appear to be encoded properly. But if you viewed the source of the page, it's encoded correctly?
wrong:
cp=ASF-4204=4PDT
right:
cp=ASF%2D4204%3D4PDT
The problem is with the "=" in the first example. Can anyone explain what's going on and how I can fix this?
If I redirect a user to a page and encode the url, do I need to decode it on
the page they are redirected to.
For Eample..
Response.Redirect (Server.URLEncode(http://mysite/test.asp?id=1))
In this case do I need to decode the URL before I can do a
Request.QueryString("id")?
When using Server.URLEncode, is there a way to undo what was encoded? I suppose I could use REPLACE if I knew exactly what the original string was. But what if I didn't know?

I have users who upload files using my application using ASPUPLOAD component. My code uploads the file to a network location and once the upload is finish I display the hyperlink using the following code
<a href=myserverattachments<%=server.urlencode(rs("FileName"))%>
target="_blank" ><%=rs("Filename")%>
Sometimes the hyperlinks works but sometimes it doesn't.Should I be using server.urlencode or not. The problem is my users upload files with all sorts of filename slike

I'm trying to pass a URL parameter from one ASP page to a recordset on another (workng with SQL Server). The strings all have three '-', and some additionally have '&'.
I used URLEncode, because the strings with '&' don't pass properly, although the others do. However, even with URLEncode, the recordset on the second page still comes up empty - the strings still don't seem to encode. This is
ASP Code:
<a href="javascript:popUp('locInfo.asp?locCode=<%=Server.URLEncode(rsHighRating.Fields.Item("locCode").Value)%>')"><%=(rsHighRating.Fields.Item("locCode").Value)%></a>
The recordset on the locInfo.asp page filters by the locCode, it is set up as Request.QueryString, and does indeed work for all the codes without '&'.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong?
<A href= "GenericUploader.asp?SavePath=<%=server.URLEncode("D:my new
web siteU") %>">folder name</A>
the link above does not seem to produce the appropriate query string value upon being clicked on. That is, when an internet user clicks on that link, the Internet Explorer opens the GenericUploader.asp web page, and the code in that asp web page responsible for picking up the value corresponding to the argument 'SavePath' (i.e, request.querystring("SavePath")) returns solely the first word of the value rather than the entire CORERECT value, which is 'D:my'rather than 'D:my new web siteU'.what needs to be done?
I'm having a strange problem with URLEncode. When I use the following code, it works:
m1 = server.URLEncode(m1)
Now if I add another line for another variable I get a type mismatch error:
m1 = server.URLEncode(m1)
m2 = server.URLEncode(m2)
The error is: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'Server.URLEncode'
It doesn't matter which one I do buy itself, if I do , it works. If I have more than one use of URLEncode, I get the error. Both variables are dimensioned like (dim m1).
Can someone shed light on this: -
When I search for 'ô', the url encode shows a "%F4", whereas should I show a "%C3%B4"

View Replies View RelatedI'm using ASP to load an XML file. German Umlaute work fine all the
time (I use <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> so they
should). Except this time where I add a text to a child which I then
fill with text which contains an "ä". The ASP-error is:
"An Invalid character was found in text content."
(Or I believe that's the English translation, I get a German one, as
I'm on a German system.)
I read something about this error however even some suggested fixed

I'm trying to use a popup window initiated from javascript to display pictures. Some of the directories and pictures contain &'s in the name or path. I've read the posts about Encoding but I cannot seem to get the get this working. Encoding the path to replace the & with %26 just gives me a page not found.
<script language="javascript">
function NewWindow(url, w, h)
{
url = "http://intranet/Marketing_Photos/" + url;
window.open(url,"_blank","width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",left=0,top=0,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
}

url is the subdir and picture name, i.e. subdir/pic.jpg
Mareting_Photos is an IIS Virtual Directory pointing to a different server.
Everything works, the pictues display, except when I pass a url with an & in the path then I get the page not found error.
I can type in http//intranet/Marketing_Photos/SomeDir/Some%26PicName.jpg (replacing the & with %26) in the browser address bar but I get a page not found.

View Replies View RelatedI've finished my whole application and now I don't like the whole
session variables that I am using. I have a form, user fills in info
clicks submit and using CDOSYSMail an email link gets created with an
encoded query string. i.e
http://www.yahoo.ca?#$@%@&#%#$@&^@%# which translates into
http://www.yahoo.ca?userID=54&LocationID=Denver.
Now when the user get's this email and clicks on the link I have a
decode function(again using BASE64) that takes that url and decodes it
to http://www.yahoo.ca?userID=54&LocationID=Denver. My app then
connects to the database and pulls info associated with that
querystring. I am doing the passing from page to page using session
variables. I do not want to do this? Any ideas How I can take what
is encoded in the url link and decode it on the next page? Let me
know if there is a simple solution to this. I love the encode/decoding
function.

View Replies View RelatedI have created ASP with database application over a PHP based software. My problem is I get data from Excel files with an encoding as SJIS (Shift-JIS) and save it to the database.

Does anyone know of a good way to encode/encrypt ASP files so the code is
hidden, but still able to be read by IIS when requested? I have done some
searches and have found that using vbscript.encode would work, but that it
is very weak and tools are readily available to decode them. I have also
seen two products that claim to do this, but they either just used
vbscript.encode, or didn't work even on extremely simple asp files.
I used "Request.Params["sName"]" on the Page_Load event.
I could not read the French like "é" If the sName has French, ie. if I pass the url like "webFom1?sName='abé'", then the Request.Params["sName"]"will equal to "ab", the "é" get choped.,
What should I do?
I used System.text; and set Request.contentEncoding =encoding.default or

if I read an XML document using ASP without any encoding, ican read it fine, but if an XML document contains an encoding parameter, like the following, ...

Can I ignore the encoding, if so how?

I have an asp page that shows the contents of HTML files in a textarea using the Server.HTMLEncode method.
It works perfectly with HTML files having english contents.
When trying to show HTML with Hebrew I see all the text correct, except the hebrew part, appearing as jibberish.
I use the hebrew encoding "windows-1255" in all the files with codepage=1255 in the beginng of the asp page.
Using a special text editor I detected the encoding of the jibberish text - it's windows-1252.The problem started when i uploaded the page to a remote server. in my local server it runs ok.I should say that all the html pages are readable when entering their url in the browser and i can also make changes in hebrew to a database using asp (from that remote server).I think the problem has something to do with the way the remote server opens the file.
im sending a mail with CDONTS now if im combining 2 languages in the same mail, i have a problem (languages are hebrew and english) if im using dir=rtl the words in english appear backwards (the letters order is reversed) if im using dir=lrt the hebrew is reversed . how can i fix this thing.

When we insert data into the database, it's fine, everything in the database is stored properly in greek. However, when we retrieve from the database, everything is return as "????S???"

What we've tried so far are adding CODEPAGE="1253" on top of the script, but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried response.Charset="UTF8", but no luck.
Anyone know what else can I try to have the data being retrieved with proper encoding?
