I would like to format URLS that are being retreived from a database. Here is an example:
bodytext="this is some text http://www.sitepoint.com/ this is some more text" response.write(bodytext)
how could I change the URL (http://www.sitepoint.com/) to a link? So instead of http://www.sitepoint.com/, it would be <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/">http://www.sitepoint.com/</a>. There are going to be an infinate amount of URL's (the user can type in any one) and it is just not the URL by itself.

I am importing a time into a sql datetime field from a text datafile using vbscript in an asp file. The time coming in will look like 8:00 or 3:30 or some other similar thing.
Because it is doesn't have am or pm associated with it, I have to force the issue or sql will assume am all of the time, and I am sure that no judge in our county is going to hear a case in the middle of the night!
So I have to add 12 hours to anthing that could be an afternoon time before I add it to the database to keep it from looking stupid in the display screens.

I've been given an ASP app written with server side javascript. This app needs to get the username of the person currently logged in to windows (Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") in vbscript). I found a way to get this variable in javascript, but then it wouldn't let me split it (server kept saying method not supported). So I've gave up on getting the username with javascript, and have set variables in VBscript at the top of my page. How do I access those variables within the javascript portion?

if c.fields("id")=request.cookies("id") then response.write "This is you" else response.write "This is " & c.fields("name") end if
c.movenext loop
the request.cookies("id") does not work! no variable will work in its position, either. the 'if...then' statement above will only work with c.fields("id")="something", not a variable, like i want. how can i get around this?
