A few weeks ago I was told in this forum that ASP would be a great solution to a large web site. I purchased a book about ASP.Net but have also seen info on ASP. Can you please tell me what is the difference between the two?
I don't know computer programming at all. Dreamweaver MX is the program I use. Can ASP be done with a WYSIWYG program? I have set up databases in Access & built web sites with DW MX I am not sure how to tie the two together.
How can I make such a bold statement? Two words: Buffer Overflow.
In the very first class I took in programming (those many years ago), we were berated class after class about proper bounds checking to prevent buffer overflows. What this means in simple terms is that every time my program asked the user for input, it had better check to make sure the input fit in the place I reserved for it. If I asked for a ''Y/N'' and I got a ''yes'' or a ''no'', those extra characters had to go somewhere and I had better be prepared for them.
It sounds like you are looking at the properties of the WebSites main branch, when you need to look to the first element under this branch (opening it) to the next "step down", and check the properties of the child element (mine is called "default web site", but yours perhaps has been changed from that).
It also contains an "advanced" button on the Web Site tab (right next to the "IP Address" field) which allows "multiple" identities, which is the part which I couldn't to work with 100% consistency.
i have a browse button on a web form that the user can upload images via ftp. the user clicks on the browse button to browse a file on his computer and the text field displays the path - "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg".
i need to get the name of the image and insert the name into my database. so i need to be able to search the string ("mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg") and insert all the characters after the last "" which will give me the image name. ive tried just writing out the string in asp (jscript), but it gives me "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg" without all the backslashes.
how do i get those backslashes back into the string? my second question is how do i search for the characters after the last backslash? i know i can use a substring on this, but how can i use it for the last backslash?
I've done several sites with ASP that use an Access database, and it has worked fine so far. I will be developing a much larger site and I need to know if Access just isn't going to cut it anymore.
Is MSSQL what I should use instead? How much is too much for an Access database? What are the differences in coding for something besides Access? (is it just in the connection string, or what?)
I have a form and if none of the radiobuttons are selecte or any of the txt fields are empty i want it to display an error, also if the entry in a txt field is not numeric i want it to display an error, if there are no errors then i wanted to display a message
My web site HTML comes from a database via querystring e.g. page.asp?pid=55. I have a separate asp search page, search.asp. Its output is retrieved by an ajax call from page.asp and its HTML is then neatly wrapped and styled by page.asp.
I want search.asp to recognise if it is not being called via ajax frompage.asp, but directly e.g. via the address bar (and if so, redirect to page.asp). Do I need to put something into the posted string, or (better) is there an asp method that can do this?
The ajax call is function GetSearchPage(st) { var poststr = "searchterm=" + encodeURI(st); makePOSTRequest('/search/search.asp', poststr,'divFullSearchDisplay'); }
Is there a way to detect when this function has finished execution as i want to page a page loader on the page until all the HTML is build and ready for rendering? I have the page loader in a div so when the above function finishes i would like to disable or hide it via Javascript. That bit is fine it's just the how to send a call to the Javascript so the DIV can be hidden is the problem.
I have a logout button for my admin system. I really need on logout, to go back to the login page. This is fine but I also need the session set to false. I could do this via using a secondry page called logout.asp, and place inside that something like session.abandon and a response.redirect. But I do not wish to have a secondry page.
my web application has user name and password, whenever user logged in i set his status in database as 1 so that only one user can logged at one time with same login and i write a code to set status to 0 on logout menu, but if session expired then status will remain 1.
i have written code to set staus to 0 in onSession_End sub but it not work all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. So i m looking for an alternative way of doing it
When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is still set, and I can get it on other pages.
I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart event even when I have "block all cookies" set?
I have tried and tried to "include" this in the blogger template, so that I can update the menu dynamically, without fiddling with a cumbersome blogger template all of the time.
The question is, does anyone know how I can "call" this file in to the template successfully?
When some of the SQL Server stored procedures I have written are called via my Classic ASP page I have written I get the following error in the cell that is supposed to be retrieving a single result:
"ADODB.Recordset error '800a0cc1'
Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
/Default.asp, line 130"
I have no idea why this could be occuring. Some of the other stored procedures work just fine. Any one have any ideas?
I don't know if this is a truly esoteric question, or not, but I'm wondering how (or even if) you handle a timeout on a transaction within a stored procedure executed in a Stored Procedure?
A theoretical example of the stored procedure (sadly, I'm not allowed to post the actual code):
Create proc sp_testproc @myval int, @outval int OUTPUT as
begin tran
select top 1 @outval= myname from mytable where recid = @myval
update mytable set myname='xxxx' where recid = @myval ...
This is a mix of technologies so I hope I've put this in the right place.
I have a system where people can sign up to a data feed. They place a single line of Javascript on their web page and a formatted banner of products is displayed based on the options they have chosen in their affiliate account.
The original system was built by our developer 3 or 4 years ago, and worked fine. However, he built the system using two ASP files - feed.asp which looks like this:
i get "system cannot find the file specified" error. iam sure that the path of file iam looking for is true. i guess this is a friendly message thrown. when i turned off the freind messages in IE (client side) i still get the same error. is there any way that i can see the exact error so that i can debug.
I want to hide a submit button until all parts of the form are completed, the form contains 7 rows of radio boxes which are in groups(5 in each grp) when all are selected i want the button to appear but the page not needing to be refreshed, any ideas?
I migrated a mysql DB into a MSSQL DB. In this DB all chars like "blank" or @ are encoded in...whats it called in english? :) you know, when a blank is "+" or @ is "%40"... :) How do I resolve those "%20"s back into a readable character or a blank with asp? Plus: How do I convert blanks into + again to write them back into the DB.
I have an Invoice.asp page which displays the number of products ordered by size. I would like to make the 0 values invisisble on the page. Can any1 help? Below is some code that applys what i would like to do this using text fields.
<% If O("S4") = 0 Then txtValue4 = "" Else txtValue4 = O("S4") End If %>
"O("S4")" is the recordset name and "txtValue4" is the initial value of the textfield.
Does anyone know how to alter this piece of code so that it applys to only the recordset "O("S4")" and not the textfield, alowing me to get rid of the textfields?
What's the best method to hide, or not show a certain record when doing a pull from a database, as in I am pulling a list with a dozen category's and I don't what to show one of them.
I need to hide a drop down box. For a car search page, if the user selects "NEW" the mileage drop-down dissappears, but if the user selects "USED" than the mileage drop down appears. I need this on the server side, so I would be needing to use VBScript.
How can i make sure my ASP code is hidden on my web server when soebody accesses the ASP page? I want to do all I can to protect against this. The other day I was at a web page and instead of seeing the results of the page, the entire page was displayed to me as text and you couldd see all the asp code.
Is this posible? You wrap a javascript function around all of your ASP code, link it externaly, and simply call your function later. I wonder if this could be done?if yes, how about the performance. Does it stay the same?
