in say, a dictionary of terms with definitions, (in a database) how can i hyperlink (automatically) words within the definitions for which a definition also exists.
url structure is like this Code:
www.site.com/glossary?word=someword
Then - in the definition of "someword" there is a word that also has a definition in the database. I'd like to auto hyperlink it to that definition. any ideas? Code:
I am just trying to do simple client side thing but There is a list of filenames with hyperlink which are generated dynamically on my ASP page.
Now I want to get the path on the hyperlink that shows on the status bar when you actually mouseover the hyperlink using VBSCRIPT. Which I would then pass to a VBSCRIPT function and do the further processing.
I used document.location.href but that gives the pages path.

I have a database field that is a memo type. I would like to be able to only display the first 50 words from the database. I would like for it to show ..... after about 50 words.
I am using <%=Content %>. How do I trim this field to show only 50 words and then ....?
I tried the following code:
Function LengthTrim(input, length)
If Len(input) > length Then
Return Left(input, length) + "..."
Else
Return input
End If
End Function
then <%= LengthTrim(Content, 50) %>
But it would not work. I got the following error message:

i am having trouble getting my REPLACE fn. to replace whole words only. basically, i'm running a 'spelling checker' fn. that uses the REPLACE fn. to find incorrect spellings and replace them. problem is, the fn. seems to replace all instances of a string, and not a whole word only as I intend it to be:
Code as follows:
StrInput = Request.Form("BKM_Search")
StrInput = LCase(StrInput) 'convert all to lowercase
StrInput = Trim(StrInput)'trim all empty space b4 & after string
StrCorrect = Replace(a_StrWrong, a_StrRight,1,1,1)
Let's say I want to replace the word "sea" with "ZZZ" only:
Example input: "Sean has some neat sea shells"
Example output: "ZZZn has some neat ZZZ shells"
I have to develop a spell checker from scratch using asp language. as i'm a newbie with asp, there are still a lot of things that i don't understand. How can I add new words to my list of dictionary sorted alpabetically?
Do i need to use the database for this function? Can anyone show me? or if anyone knows of any websites that i can refer to.
Let's say I have the following var:

other string ['amet' for example] and have it output this:
Code:

View Replies View Relatedis it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
How would I do it? O, here's the way it is now:
<%= Decode(ChkBadWrds("Comment")))%>
How would I do something similar using regexp?

View Replies View RelatedI'm really at wits end on this as I'm not having much success with locating a function or other options I have. I'm working on a message board for a website and I'm needing to check the length of the words that users put in.
For example, when someone puts in "yesssssssssssss!", I put together a small function that omits all of the s's as this is wreaking havoc on the layout of tables within the site. But I don't have a solution if someone types in "ssss sasdfjskldjfaskld;jfaskdf" as random ambiguous letters.
I know I can check the length of the entire string but don't know to check the words
within it.

Just wondering. I am developing a blog. I would like to display the message post on the blog to be limited to, say, 100 words rather than the whole message itself as this will increase the page length.
I would like to know if there is a method to count the words from the record in database and display only 100 hundred words from the actual message..
I have a search results page that lists a series of records with clickable links to view the records. When you click on the link to the record, the record id, the search terms used, and the search type (exactphrase or anywords) is sent through the query string.
On the record page I have been trying to find a regular expression that would find and replace the search terms with < strong >< /strong > to highlight them. I am struggling.
Does any use a similar regular expression. One that, if flagged, will replace an exact string (phrase) or loop through an array replacing any of the words in the string?

View Replies View RelatedI've noticed several posts where people were having trouble accessing an Access Database. In the vast majority of these cases, the problem was the use of a Reserved Word as a database field name. The following are links to KB Articles listing Reserved Words for Access 97 and Access 2002:
Access 97: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q109312/
Access 2002: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q286335/
If you are having trouble with a SQL Statement, and you are fairly certain there is nothing wrong with your statement, check your field names against this list. Using Reserved Words as field names, while not prohibited, is never a good idea.
For example, if you have a field where you want to put someone's name, "Name" is a Reserved Word. A better choice would be something like "UserName" or "PatientsName"; something that identifies the field but doesn't use a Reserved Word.
