how to dispaly text from a text area on a page as page copy (using the replace function)
How do I display this text inside another textarea, holding formatting? All variations of 'what I thought would work' do not.
I am using the following function:
Function DisplayMemo(theText)
DisplayMemo = ""
on error resume next
DisplayMemo = CStr(theText)
if (len(DisplayMemo) > 0) Then
DisplayMemo = Replace(DisplayMemo, vbCrLf, "<br>", 1, -1, 1)
end if
End Function
calling it like:
<textarea cols=119 name=ownSubmitted rows=7>" & DisplayMemo(getInfo(0)) & "</textarea>
NOTE: getInfo(0) is a variable holding my value. Yes the value is there. It is showing the text I want, however the <br>'s are rendered inside the text area?

I am writing a small database utility to catalog all of my favorite ASM/JS/VBS functions and scripts on an asp page. Everything is going smoothly except for one thing that I can't quite seem to think my way around.
I am using a <textarea> to display the code but some of my scripts have <textarea> tags in them and when the </textarea> tag is entered, it closes my <textarea> and the rest of the code ends up outside of the textarea.
Example: (the code after the middle </textarea> show up outside of the textarea box)
<textarea>
code...code...code...
code...<textarea></textarea>code...
code...code...code...
</textarea>

I have a website that would set two cookies when a user logs in
successfully.
<%
response.cookies("login_status")="OK"
response.cookies("login_id")="12345"'This value is from database.
response.cookies("login_id").domain="mysitexyz.com"
%>
and I have a question in "removing/deleting/cleaning the cookie when
the user logs out.
From my understanding there are two methods -
#1 (I am currently using)
response.cookies("login_status")=""
response.cookies("login_id")=""
#2
response.cookies("login_status").expires=now
response.cookies("login_id").expires=now
My questions is, what's the difference, advantage and disadvantage of
these two methods?
I am asking this because I have noticed that there are some problems
in #1. In my computer (I use IE7) if I login as one user, logout, and
then login as another user, the cookie value will get mixed up.
Somehow the response.cookies("login_status") can display correctly but
response.cookies("login_id") cannot. But if I clean my browser cache,
close my IE and reopen it, both cookies work fine.

I have a form submission page that I am using some session variables that are created on the page in order to keep track of the information that they have already inputted - so when they click submit if there are any errors the fields that are correct remain populated.However, I am wondering is there a way that if they navigate away from this one page all the session variables that are created are removed so if they come back to the page they need to re-enter the information?
Something like "on page exit - remove session("name")..." ?

I am worried of accumulated old cart product selections from expired browser windows or other unforseen events. I am holding selected productID's & quantities & userID & sessionID in a sql table from a shopping cart.
I allow user to clear their cart from a button and also automatically clear their cart on user logon. Also on checkout I clear their cart. I am storing selections with sessionID & UserID so they will be unique,. But does anyone reccomend any other cart selection maintenance procedure i could use,.

I have an image gallery in a database and I display one item at random with each refresh. I also have 2 buttons "next" and "previous" to show next or previous items in my recordset. Everything works well except for the fact that once the user has used either "next" or "previous" it leaves my query string in the url bar:
index.asp?action=previous
therefore, if I click "refresh" it continues to display either the next or previous entries instead of dislaying at random like it should.
How can I clear the query string from the url if the commend comes from the refresh button?

I've written several scenarios where the end user needs to enter data into a textarea (descriptions, messges etc) which becomes part of a form. End users often put apostrophe's and carrige returns in the textarea... however, when the code i write is submitted to the database, it generates an sql command from the page that sent the action.
Client Side:
<form action="somepage.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress">
<textarea cols="20" rows="5" name="comments"></textarea>
</form>
On code submission...
sql="insert into tableName (email,comments) values ('" & request.form("emailaddress") & "','" & request.form("comments") & "');"
db.execute(sql)
Now, when strange people put carrige returns, it stuffs up the string and therefore produces an error, and to make matters worse if it did recognise a carrige return, it wouldn't be displayed on HTML output. Apostrophes are even worse - they signify the end of a variable in the SQL sentance Can anyone help me and figure out a new way of writing to the DB?

I've got a page on a website I'm developing that contains a textarea.
The textarea will allow users of the site to enter a description of an
item.
When they submit the form that contains the textarea, the textarea and
other form elements data are stored in a database. So far so good.
My problem concerns carriage returns, new lines, line feeds or whatever
else you want to call them :-)
I want them preserved, so when the user wants to edit the description of
the item, the format of the description is displayed exaclty as it was
entered.
The problem is that HTML renders the carriage returns as white space, so
when the database is read and the textarea populated with the
description field, the carriage returns are lost.
I have tried the ASP REPLACE function to replace carriage returns with
<br>, but the code below actually displays all the <br>'s.
<%=Replace(myRecordset.Fields.Item("myField").Value,Chr(13),"<br>")%>
I played around with different combinations of chr(13) and vbcrlf and I
managed to get the textarea to display the description as it was entered
with carriage returns, but upon further testing and editing of the
description, because of the REPLACE function, the number of carriage
returns was doubling each time!

i have 2 tables one table stores the information for the prof and second table stores information for the subject he teaches so first table deptprof has the id,name,email for the professor
so i get his last name and email which is working second table design is name is deptlist
fields are
deptautoid
deptid
subjectname
desc
so one professor might be teaching 3 subjects
so the records in table are
1001
3
maths
maths subject is boring
1002
3
science
science is good
1003
3
sports
make some time for it
so now this page lets the professor update the subject and its desc
so what i do is fill up the subjects and desc he is currently assigned to and then he can change the subjects
and desc
subjects have a checkbox and desc has a textarea
what happens is for example a professor has 3 subjects he is teaching now
so 3 checkboxes are selected and all the desc for them are displayed in the textarea
but now the professor decides he wants to teach 4 subjects
so he selects the 4th subject checkbox and doesnt enter the desc i want to fire the alert
but it doesnt fire the alert
second way prof is teaching 3 subjects
3 checkboxes are selected and 3 textarea are filled
professor decides to delete desc in one of them and hits submit i want to fire an alert
saying he forget desc but it doesnt fire so whenver desc is deleted from the textarea and checkbox for it is selected
i want to fire an alert
can someone tell me whats wrong with the code
thanks,
todd
