We have a customer who uses utf-8 encoded websites and wants mailto-link on some websites with integrated subject/content.
Website is written in ASP (.NET is not available at customer site).
So according to RFC (as far as I could interpret it), we created a mailto-link like this: ....
I am using
<a href="mailto:....@....."> it opens the Outlook express but I want it to open the Microsoft Outlook how can I do this
I am in the process of overhauling a website that has some static buttons I would like to convert to rollovers. The links are ASP encoded -- is there any reason that this would not work? The first time I tried I had a typo and it locked up the whole site -- before I try again I wanted to make sure that there is not something inherently wrong with this code. I am obviously not an ASP programmer :-) Following is the original static link:
<a href="indexGateway.asp?cat=07&category=422&CatName=<%= Server.URLEncode("Footwear") %>" target="thebody"><img src="Images/navBottom/cat_07.gif" width=85 height=19 border=0></a>
And here is the rollover modified link: ....
ok I have a page that displays all of the 3000+ records of people, phone numbers, and email addresses. on this page I have added a link that combines all of the e-mail addresses into one mailto: link so that we can mass notify these people of upcoming projects. the problem is that i think the link is too big for the browser to handle. the view source shows that everything is there but i cannot click the link. i have tried both IE and FireFox to no avail. The code is below just in case i have a typo or something...
sql = "Select * from people WHERE (IsNull(m_idstatus) OR m_idstatus <> 'id2') AND (m_email Like '%@%')"
...
y = 0
do while not rs.eof
If (rs("m_email") = "" OR IsNull(rs("m_email"))) Then
e_email = e_email
Else
e_email = e_email & rs("m_first_name") & " " & rs("m_last_name") & "(" & rs("m_email") & "); "
y = y + 1
End If
rs.movenext
loop
...
<a href="mailto:?bcc=<%= e_email %>">E-MAIL ALL</a> |
I have also tried changing the format of the link by adding test@test.com before the ?bcc= but get the same results on both browsers. Like I said in the beginning I assume that the link is just too big for the browser; does anyone have any ideas besides making a mail form in the page? I would prefer to stick with a mailto link so that we can keep internal Outlook features.
I am developing a simple little application for a client that allows them to do an employee lookup. This small Access database contains only a few fields such as name, job, email address etc.
However, when the data is pulled from the database, I would like my ASP pages to create the email as a mailto command when pressed. I'm not sure how to go about this.
I tried creating a mailto: link on the dynamic text but that hasn't worked.
Can anyone assist?
I'm currently working on an events application and thought it would be nice feature to have a link next to the event which would add the event to Outlook calendar?
I've looked around but can't seem to find anything, except sits using this feature, no tutorials etc.
I am having a hard time figuring out how to sum records in an access table, and display them correctly with asp on a web page.
Here's an example of my table:
Organizations
orgID, orgName, noPeopleInvolved, noHoursWorked.
This table just keeps track of the number of volunteers an organization had at a particular event, and the number of hours the organization as a whole, put in.
Now, I can get it to where I display every single organizationName once, in a table (an html table on a web page), with columns OrgName, Tot People Involved, and Tot # of hours worked,
by using this asp code and getting each orgName from a basic select statement earlier in the code:
I hope someone here would know this question. Given an area of a city whose 7 digit phone numbers are prefixed with 584, how many different combinations of phone numbers could result from that? So, it would look something like this:
584 - _ _ _ _ with the digits being between 0 - 9
I came up with 5,040 possible combinations
by doing 10! / (10 - 4)!
Is this correct?
I have an ASP page where I am building a query to get the data from the
table. I am using Microsoft Access and ASP
The table has three columns Id, StartDate, EndDate.
For each record the users only enter either the startdate or enddate and not
both.
When i am writing my querystring I want to sort my results by date but the
date should be a combination of StartDate, EndDate
I tried something like this
SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY NZ(StartDate,EndDate)
This works in the database directly but on the ASP page it does not allow
the NZ expression.
How do I decode INC files? I have a decoder program that is working on my asp pages, but wont work on the .inc files.

I am currently writing a little gadget where users can create, delete, alter... tables in a database. Some kind of MyAspAdmin... Everything works fine as long as I specify the MSSQL-Login-Infos database, user and password.
But if I want to make it possible to switch from one database to another, here comes the problem: The user has to choose a database that he wants to work in, and type in user and password.
I need the (probably very easy) solution, how i can check if this user/password/chosen_database combination is correct. Code:
I'm trying to do an automatic submission of an external form without user intervention.
response.write( server.htmlencode(xmlHttp.getAllResponseHeaders()) )
The answer is:
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:59:14 GMT MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub Content-type: text/html
Code:
xmlhttp.Open "POST", "http://website.com/Access.exe?DATABASES=db1;LABEL=data"
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html"
xmlhttp.send ("user=qwerty&password=12345") ....
I have an application that let's the user enter text into a textbox and this
data is collected on the server and stored in a database.
The page is multilingual and sets Response.Charset to the appropiate for the
language, for example gb2312 for chinese etc. This made all texts on the page
show up alright.
However, I did not change the codepage of the page so ASP encoded the post
data sent to the server and I have got really ugly texts for certain
languages.
I have had applications before doing the same thing where the page has been
able to decode the posted characters again when redisplaying them, but in
this case I haven't been able to get anything meaningful from them.
It seems to me that the encoded text depends on the charset used when
entering the text, entering chinese characters when using iso-8859-1 gives me
character codes like Ӓ which probably would be alright to convert but chinese
text that has been entered in the gb2312 charset look like this Code:
I want the special characters to be converted in html encoded format. i am using asp.
but i m getting the same string that i have passed as output.
input:
<% Response.Write("the html characters =" & Server.HtmlEncode("<p>")) %>
output:
the html characters =<p>
is there anything more required to do this.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of using this form submission approach as opposed to eg: Cdo, aspEmail - it appears to harness the MS standard mailto capability?:
<FORM ENCTYPE="text/plain" NAME="test" METHOD='POST'
ACTION='mailto:info@examle.com?subject=Resume' onSubmit="return
submitForm()">
I have to use mailto so the pages opens up the users default client. I need
to format the body of the email in HTML format so I can show some the text
in bold, italics and underlined? Is this possible to do? if so how?
I'm just learning ASP. I have a mailto and I have a lot of text that I want to display in the body. Is there a way to store that text in a variable & then add it to the mailto tag?

I would like to add a link on an ASP page that I created that adds an appointment to Microsoft Outlook.

So I'm writing an ASP 3.0 script on an intranet which users have access to from IE 6, or within Outlook. Due to the pop-ups it uses, it doesn't work so well in Outlook, so I want to know whether the user is running the website from within Outlook or IE.
How can I do this if Outlook is returning "IE" as its browser information?
This script:
Dim objBrowsType
Set objBrowsType = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType")
response.write("Browser Name: " & objBrowsType.Browser)
returns "Browser Name: IE" in both IE and Outlook.

Put simply, all im trying to do is a Phone-book style app that pulls data from two different sources. The first source (Active Directory) I can do, its the second source (Exchange mailbox) that im having trouble with. I can pull data from Active Directory / Exchange GAL for display on the pages just cant find a way to get stuff from the mailstore. If it can't be done without an Active X component, then fair enough, just thought i'd ask out here.
I've just discussed this with my IT manager and he reckons you need to activate Outlook Web Services for this to be any use to you and he says that ain't gonna happen. What I want to know is:
