im tryin to do this:
response.write("<body topmargin='0' leftmargin='0' onLoad='window.resize('" & width & "', '" & height & "')'>")
i need to run it like this though:
response.write("<body topmargin='0' leftmargin='0' onLoad="window.resize('" & width & "', '" & height & "')">")
in php i can replace it like onLoad = "window.resize
is there something like that in asp?
When chucking data in cookie you cannot use certain characters in this example ‘ : ‘ . To get around this you use escape and unescape. Trying to use the escape as such:
Response.Cookies("Lines")("URL4") = escape("http://www.ASP101.com")
Gives the following result:
URL4=http%3A//www.ASP101.com
Which I don't think does anything to help. So using it like this:
Response.Cookies("Lines")("URL4") = "escape(http://www.ASP101.com)"
Gives the following result:
URL4=escape(http://www.ASP101.com)
Which is the correct result apart from the ‘escape' actually appearing.
I working on a ASP project (usually I'm a PHP guy) and I wanted to encode a string to make it safe for a SQL insert. Is there a function built into ASP for that or do I just need to replace single quotes?

How can i do it in asp script.
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.
I am trying to only have a link show if there is a certin value in the DB. This is what I am trying:
<% if (rsWelcome.Fields.Item("access_level").Value) = "admin" then
response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-")
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??
I've a problem reading querystring parameters that are 'uri encoded'. Anyone
has a solution for this?
To reproduce the problem, create a classic ASP containing the following code:
-----------------------
<p>Value sent via querystring: <%=
Server.HTMLEncode(Request.QueryString("value")) %></p>
<input id="input" />
<button id="submit" onclick="window.location.assign('Test.asp?value=' +
encodeURIComponent(input.value));">submit</button>
-----------------------
Now, enter the value "Dré" and submit. The page will show the value "Dré",
but I except Request.QueryString("value") to return the original value, i.e.
"Dré".
I'm still having trouble getting some of my data being returned properly when people use quotes. (ex ProjectName contents being - the "primary" project - The double quotes are the main issue. I am using a function for the single quote and it seems to have resolved the issue.
Code:
Term = trim (Term)
if Term <> "" then
Term = Replace (Term, chr (39), chr (39) & chr (39))
end if
If Term <> "" then
I use this just when passing strings from a form. I tried altering it and using chr (34) for a double quote but it didn't work.
Is it possible to escape asp tags so i can add em to another variable like this:

View Replies View RelatedI've been looking for it for a while. I found it a week back by accident, but didn't need to use it then. It's a function that escapes SQL strings so that if there is a ' in the string it will escape it for you. I can remeber the name of it.

DB: Oracle(9i), where I generate query strings programatically and send them to the DB server.
I have rtfm'd and googled this extensively, but I have not found how to properly esacape the ampersand character in an oracle query (I'm NOT using the SQL+ command line interface).
Oracle uses the & character to denote a variable substitution, and unfortunately one of the fields I must query has data that contains the & character. I need to know how to escape the & character in my query strings so that Oracle will treat it as a string literal. Code:
I have a 'memo' form field being entered into an access database.If people put in characters other then text (Quotes, operators, etc) then I get an insert error:

Is there a way to get this into the database? In php, I would simply use the function 'addslashes()' (escaping the string) - is there a similar function in ASP or am I doing something else wrong?
I am inserting records into an Access table using the OleDbCommand class. The insert values come from a basic web form with text boxes. If the values contain ' or " it creates a problem. What is the proper way to escape these characters? Surely there's a built-in function for it somewhere.
View Replies View Relatedi need to convert the escape values which are by mistake updated in DB.
example:
this is a sample text string

like wise there are many entries for :,'
is there way that i can update all this in a update statement?

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters.

The problem is that it is inserting unwanted characters with the values.
I have used the following to try and remove the unwanted characters but to no avail:

rsUsers.Fields("RootCause") = trim(varRootCause)
The above gives me this: Quality of service,

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made?
I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
