I am trying to make a guestbook, wich should be accessable through a executable exe. I think, the easyest way to do this, is through your browser. I am looking how to add text to a database without entering text in a form, but only text in the address bar of your browser.

I am using web tandards so have several style sheets already so was wondering if i would have to go about it this way or would i use some sort of scripting language like Javascript. Not sure which way i am meant to use as this is the first time i have ever needed to creat such a feature.
Right now I think I've got the idea on how to work on ASP pages after such a hectic start, then I 've got a small problem . i have contructed my form but i can't seem to add to the dbase, i can fill the info but i see nothing on my dbase.
View Replies View RelatedI was looking for thoughts on having a piece of a web page updated when a button or drop down is selected. The update would have to be via the results of a database lookup/query. Any ideas on this? I am thinking of having to do it through javascript/asp mixture but unsure.
As an example, say you have a drop down of, say, 100 names to choose. When the person chooses a name, a query is fired and the person's address is populated in a box. I'd rather not have this happen via a full-page update if possible.
I entered the data in the database table but, when I print this data on html page thro' asp script. I don't see my new lines. I tried by storing <br>(html new line tag) in the database. Then I am getting only 1st word of each line.

the script firstly checks that the user has filled out all the fields in the form from the previous page then the script is supposed to check the database for the username and email then adds the user if it is all ok however if the fields have all been filled out it simply adds the users anyway. here is one of the check scripts i am using VBscript and an access database .....
I am trying to add entries in a database together and place the summed value into a text box. Like a total ordered type function for an ecommerce site. I have a field called ArmChairs in my database and based on how many people buy them, I want to know how many I need to have shipped.

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a basic holiday booking system for the company I work for, it is quite simple in that the user selects the dates they want off work, and they can view if it has been approved or not. It has an admin screen so that the manager can go in and approve the holiday request.
To do this I would like the admin screen to display all the dates in the database that the user has selected off and to have a checkbox next to each that the manager can select to approve it. However I don't know how I would do this, at present all it does is read the info in the database. Code:

Can anyone tell me how I can just create a simple html form with input fields of FirstName, LastName, Email and Phone amd when the user hits submit it is recorded in an access database?
I can do the HTML part fine. And I believe I've set up access ok although Ive never used it before.
Also, if the server that the database will go on is a Microsoft one i suspect that is ok? Im not sure if all i have to do is upload the database and it will work? or do i need to talk to my hosting company to set up some kind of odbc thing that ive heard about?
My database will just be called clients.mdb and the table is called Customers.
Basically i have a form on a HTML page which someone fills out with a few IDs, then i have a .asp file which is meant to add the info to a database.

View Replies View RelatedI want to add a row to library table. Table has total 7 fields. But I

in MS Access

actually, I have a problem while i want to add, delete, or edit a record to a database through a asp page, I can read well but when i want to submit changes using rds object , the data does not change on the source database,
I tried hard to get a solution but i think that the actual problem is only on one figure which is the server value of the data control when i use my own iis server, I do not know this value and microsoft is saying use an empty value but it does not work either.
Let's say I have a dynamic list/menu, which gets its values from a
database table, for example a list of contact people where the value is
an ID number and the label is the name. However, if the value the user
wants is not in the list I would like to place a hyperlink which
will...
(1) open a small window, with an ASP form to allow the user to add a
new entry
(2) save the entry to the database
(3) add that value to the list/menu in the parent window and make it
the selected option
(4) close the small window and return to the original window.
I can handle the code for 1,2 and 4, but 3 is what I'm not sure about.
I don't like the idea of forcing the user to leave the current screen,
go to some other form, add the entry they need to the lookup table,
then come back; this seems like a logical approach, but just wondering
how to make it work.
This seems like a common enough situation; anyone have any code samples
or suggestions about how to do this?

Is it possible to store html tags in a database field so that when data is retrieved from this field the formating is retained? For example I have an address field in my database, which I return using:
<p><%=(rsType.Fields.Item("DAT_Address").Value)%>
However they are times where I may want to have my city, state etc on seperate lines by using <br>, but right now if I store a <br> in my database it does not affect the formating of my displayed address.
I have a text field i am pulling from a database that uses vbcrlf to create line breaks.
I used the following code to replace them:
response.write Replace(rs_classes.Fields.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value, VbCrLf, "<br />")

Question about the performance of using an include file or reading from a text file compared to hitting the database.
I set up a client's web site so they can post a weekly message and also post a "of special interest" message on their home page. Originally these messages were stored in and retrieved from an Access 2000 database. I decided to try writing the messages to a text file then retrieving it through include file and also tried the text streaming object.
I used netmechanic.com to gauge the download times for all three methods on a 56K modem. According to the results, using the database was around 4 seconds quicker. Does this sound right? The site is on a shared hosting package using Win2000.
I'm trying to write a page that will accept form POST method variables from another page and save them to an Access database via a DSN connection. I'm using code like this:

SQL = SQL & " VALUES ('" & request.form("postVar1") & "','" & request.form("postVar2") & "','" & request.form("postVar3") & "')"
dsnConn.execute(mySQL)
%>
I'd like to make sure that I clean up the text that the user inputs before trying to send it to the database. Can someone please give me an example of what ASP code I need use to get rid of quotes, slashes, and anything else a user could enter that might mess up the SQL insert?
I'm trying to put some text into the database using ADODB.Command object. Seems like a reasonable thing to do and I can do it. But in this instance my text is an HTML code which contains many quotes. But i have to save it as is into the database field.

INSERT INTO (f1, f2) VALUES (v1, v2) comand. But since my v2 contains some quotes in it, (many quotes), I get an error. (it works otherwise). Is there any way ?
As i write this post i have a variety of options to format my post such as bold, changing font, font colour, font size, putting text into paragraphs etc.
