I have a page with a drop down box and a text field. The drop down box selects a column from a table in my database. txtField is the drop down box and txtSearch is the text field.
The form method is post and the results are passed to the next page which has the query for the database as shown below. Anyone any ideas why I get no results from the query? It works in queryanalyzer so I assume its my asp thats wrong? Code:
I was wondering if someone could help me with finding out how to populate a drop-down box with values queried from a database.
Also, I was also wondering if someone could help me with figuring out a way to place field-values retrieved from a table into a text field. This would be for the purpose of editing a record that has previously been entered.
Placing the information in a texbox field so that the user can easily type over it seems like the best thing to do.
I'm getting an error when I'm retreaving from a "text field" in the database and it has no data in it. I'm using MYSQL version 3.23.58-nt. I have the same script running a different system and I don't get this error. It justs output nothing and continues with the loop.
This has to be an ASP problem when retrieving data from the database. I've change the Field for Message to "varchar(252)" vice "text" in the database and stoped giving me error. But I still need to use the type "text" in the database since my "Message" will be longer then 252 caracter. Code:
can someone give me an example code for how to retrieve the selected value from a drop down menu in ASP. i have been trying something like this:
<%response.write(request.form("selected"))%>
but it doesn't display anything.
Anyone know how to create a drop down menu where the user can enter text
also?
If they do not want to choose an answer from the drop down menu, the
users can just enter their own answers in the drop down box. Anyone
know if this is possible?
I want to write a asp script, basically, that has drop down box in the form, if user select Yes, on the same page, a hidden textarea will show up, if user select No,
then nothing happen.
so far, my code is unsuccessful, in addition, I also got syntax error on the response.write line anyone has idea. Code:
I am working on a small application for senior users, so I want to limit the option for incorrect input whatsoever. I have a drop down box that is populated from a query and I want to make it so that when an option is selected, the pertinent text fields are populated based on the selection.
All the info I need is already being extracted from the query so its just a matter of displaying the right info based on the selection. I have been looking for examples of code but they all seem to use javascript. I am not too strong in javascript so I kinda avoided those. if there is a pure asp example, that would be fine!
I am relatively new to ASP but am fairly familiar with PHP and ASP.NET and JavaScript.
My problem is this:
I have a drop down box which is populated from the database (Access), it sets the value to the ID of a hospital ward, and the text to the name of the ward.
I then use the ID to look up an email address for the manager of the ward from another table in the database. My un-optimised code is as follows: Code:
I have an Access database with 58 fields in one table. I wrote many
of the field names so that they were descriptive so that others could
figure it out in the future. As an example, one field name is called
MissingPart14990aDescribe.
Should I be worried about the length of the field name? I'm expecting
about 20,000 records a year to be entered into the database. So, five
years from now, which would be about 100,000 records, will the
query.asp for a list of records be slow due to field name size? BTW,
the query.asp would just show a list of the last 3 months worth of
records and only a snapshot of about 6 of the 58 fields.
I'm trying to retrieve data on all users currently within our active directory system, and although i have had some success there is one field that i still can't extract the values from - postalAddress. I'm using the following code:

i am using ASP with recordset I am using nvarchar field and TEXT field in ms sql server
i update it as follows
rs("thenvarcharfield") = request.form("somedata")
rs("thetextfield") = request.form("someotherdata")
rs.Update
at one page it works fine and when i use the same kind of code to update another TEXT field it doesn't update and the I.E. loading bar increases very slowly and the next page never loads someone suggested to use .appendchunk i used rs.appendchunk and i got the error "object doesn't support this property or method" he also said that .appendchunk cannot be used to update nvarchar.
i removed the code to update TEXT field and the page loaded as expected (normally)!
Why one text field worked fine while the other didn't?

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to write some code that inserts or updates a text field in my SQL Server 2000 database. The SQL statement is created using a submit from a form, and the text is coming from a <textarea>, and therefore being placed into the SQL statement via a Request("field"). However, due to limitations in SQL Server 2000 and text fields, I can not use a simple Update or Insert command with text over 8000 bytes.
Does anybody have any sample statements that will help me update that field with larger amounts of data? I have tried using the WRITETEXT function and UPDATETEXT function with little or no success.

View Replies View RelatedI been searching google but I can't find how to shorten a text field and if it has been shortened to place a space and triple dot (...) after it. So if the text field was 75 characters long it would shorten it to 50 and add " ...". Is it also possible to shorten it to 50 to the nearest word? This is what I got so far: Code:

View Replies View RelatedI want to search text field and highlight the text. This is the code,
Code:
strText = cstr(Request.form("strText"))
strText = uCase(strText)
strTextWhere = ""
strTextWhere = " and (Specialisation

I have a lot of data in different cases. I can do the search, let say i want to search by keyword project, it will display all the "project", "Project" and "PROJECT". But now i can only hightlight the "PROJECT" only. I think this is because of ucase(strText). Is there any way for me to highlight all (either lower, upper and mixed cases)?
