Code Pages, Cookies & Character Sets

I'm a little perplexed. <%@Codepage="65001" %> changes how IIS/ASP will handle interpreting query string variables - i.e. it will read the querystring as being utf-8 encoded.

However, I'm finding that it *doesn't* change how Response.Cookies or
Request.Cookies get read/written.

I've been testing with a little jscript asp page with the lines

if (String (Request.QueryString ("abc")) != "undefined")
Response.Cookies("abc") = Request.QueryString ("abc");
Response.Write (Request.QueryString ("abc"));

to take a value from the query string and pass it back out as a cookie. The test value I was using was r%c3%a9sume (resume with an accented e). When the code page is set to utf-8, it will properly interpret the urlencoded query as a utf-8 string. It will output the right bytes with Response.Write.

But watching the headers produced by the request, it comes out encoded in latin-1.
Set-Cookie: abc=r%E9sume; path=/

I checked the cookie rfc on w3c.org, and oddly it doesn't say much about how to encode/interpret cookie NAME=VALUEs. The only comment on character set in the spec is that a cookie *comment* has to be utf-8 encoded.

I couldn't find anything on the MSDN documentation that addressed cookie character sets either.

Displaying French Canadian Character Sets

I have an ASP page that displays data from a SQL database. It includes some Canadian names/address which contain the special accent characters...my ASP page doesn't display them properly. I have included the tag

<META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

but they don't show up correctly...what else do I need?

Update: Turns out the source of our data gave us the old IBM codes, not the newer codes...for example, they gave us 144 instead of 201, and using the charset of 8859-1 won't allow 144 to be displayed. When replaced with 201, the character displays just fine.

Comparing Record Sets To Cookies

What would be the most efficient way to check to see if a cookie matches a record in a DB table?

If the user's cookie matches a record in a table of executives, then I want to display a breadcrumb menu item just for that executive.
This does not have to be super-secure or anything, I just want to keep honest people honest.

If the information they submit in a cookie is also present in a table of executives, then I want them to see a comprehensive menu set. If they are not in the table, then I want them to see a reduced menu set.

How to go about comparing a cookie with multiple values or keys with a record in a table?

Creating Cookies In Global.asa Session_OnStart But Cannot Read Cookies On Subsequent Pages.

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:

dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)

When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,

Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.

I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.

Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

Pages Display Source Code In Browser

I'm just trying to set up a testing server via Dreamweaver that is my local box. HTML works fine and ASP works fine IF there is no js code input. I can save a few images in a table as an ASP page and it works great, but if I try to pull a table from a database, the browser suddenly displays the code, rather than the page.

I've heard some people referring to articles that might address this, but so far I'm not seeing them.

I have .asp files being handled by asp.dll from the internet information services section.

What the heck am I missing? What else should I provide y'all so we can brainstorm this?

Joining 2 Result Sets

i want to left join result sets together coming from two different databases based on a common field storenumber. They are separate databases as per management design.

Basically it should match rows based on the store number, those who don't have matches should display only the storenumber and no other info like: Code:

Store Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
1 x x x x
2 x x x x
3 <--No data in 3, just display storenumber
4 x x x x

Record Sets - Selecting All Results

im a passing 3 fields from a form to use a search criteria against an access database table, i have set the fields a numeric values, what should i use to allow all records to be shown for a invidual value rather than a selected value.

Ie the form would pass

Location_id as 22

so the result page would see Request.form("Location_id")

sql would then see

where location_id = var1

var = 22

but i want to get the sql to say

where location_id >=0

Passing Multiple Sets Of Variables Into SQL

Before I created this thread, I've searched Google and used the search feature of this forum numerous times on how to do this, but couldn't find much.

Basically, I'm trying to pass multiple sets of values from the search form to the ASP into an SQL statement (Access Database).

I can only make it display different prices of a certain music type, eg all prices of rock. But it doesn't output all types of music for certain prices, eg viewing Classic and Rock records with prices of 8.99 and 10.99 only.

I've used the REPLACE command I've found and got around that problem of syntax with numeric/alpha data. Code:

Drop Down Selection On Intranet Sets Default Value In Database

I'm working on a project, trying to create an HR hiring intranet page. Basically, here is problem. I have a table in a database called "Title Access" that lists titles, and has software, email, and user rights associated with each title. For example, Network Administrator will get Office, Dreamweaver, be part of the IT and Admin groups.

Now, here is the issue: Whenever the user types in the name, pay rate, hire date, and title on the intranet page then clicks "submit", I want the database to create a new user in the "employee" table with that name, and populate the access rights in that table with the rights associated with the title. Thus, the "employee" table will now include "John Doe", and will have Office, Dreamweaver, IT, Admin checked off. Is there any way to do this????????????

Use Value In Query String To Produce Multiple Record Sets

I have taken over a website that was done in Frontpage and I am trying to move away from it. I am having problems with page 1 where I have a link that passes a single value to page 2 in the query string.

On page 2 I want to use that value in the query string to produce mulitple record sets. This actually works when using the fpblib.inc. Is there a way of doing this without having to use Frontpage coding.

Asp Pages Randomly Showing As Blank White Pages

Using IIS 5.0 and sometime some asp pages (absolutely
randomly) showing as blank white pages. So far only one
way of fixing it - restart whole server. Restarting IIS,
or specific web server not helping, only whole server.

I enable server side and client side debugging, but no
errors showing up...

In view source pages always look like this:
-----------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1251"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
-----------------------

Any idea why it can happened and how to fix?

ESCAPE CHARACTER

I'm having a problem finding/using an escape character with this ASP/JScript application I'm creating. Basically I have text sometimes that has apostrophes or double quotations in them, but they won't be INSERTED unless I manually take them out.

Ex: INSERT INTO tbl1 (vendor,reason) VALUES (81,"This is only a test, but there is an apostrophe and it's only going to make things worse.")

That apostrophe in "it's" is kiling everything. I've used the replace method to change it to " ' ", but that STILL doesn't work. I can't find MS SQL's ESCAPE CHARACTER. I've tried several directions of the backslash, but no luck.

end if %>


BUT... this is the error I get:

Expected ')'

/sta/topnav_test.asp, line 9 response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-") How do I use quotes in a "response" and have the app server ignore them??
