I'm using MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0 to create an XML document on-the-fly.
Everything is going great except that at some point I need to create an empty XML element with a start and an end tag, not only an end tag. Eg. I need to create <Signature></Signature> instead of <Signature />
However, MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0 refuses to create the empty element with a start and an end tag.
It insists on creating only the closing end tag, even if I try to set text value for the element to "". Code:
I have a bunch of arrays in one of my ASP scripts, and I need to construct the reference to the variable through some string contatenations. Example:
one of my variables is 'strQ1a(13)' and earlier in the script I assign a value to it. I construct the name of this variable through code like
response.write="str" & myQuestionNumber & "(" & myrs.fields("value") & ")" - VBScript just evaluates this as a string and rather than displaying the VALUE of variable strQ1a(13), it justs displays "strQ1a(13)"
How can I get it to look at this as a variable and get the value?
I've Googling the web for the past two hours trying to find some code that will explain the following:
I have a Form with 250+ fields. I need to loop through all form fields and store the values into a VBScript 2-dimensional array (name of field, value of field). Once I have this 2-d array, I need to loop through it to create my SQL insert string, which will hook up to my MS Access 2000 .mdb file.
I totally understand the process, but I'm having a hard time with the syntax. Currently, I only have 60 fields, and I'm doing this type of thing manually. The thing is the form now needs to accomodate 250+ fields and there's no way I'm continuing to do this manually. Heck no!
Can someone please help wither with syntax or links to possible examples? I've been to devguru.com, asp101.com, aspfree.com, you name it, and I simply can't find an appropriate example.
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but it is close... IN MSAccess I can create a select statment that filters on a calculated field:
SELECT xxx, len(yyy) as zzz FROM TblAAA having (len(yyy) = 5);
I am trying to create the same type of statment in an ASP that uses VBSCRIPT to access a SQL Server table.
I can not seem to figure out what the VBScript version of the Access statmen... or even if it is possible?
How to export a table from Access DB using ASP VBScript. I have tried scripts but I need the export in the form of comma delimited or tab delimited format.
I'm trying to deal with a few records in a db that are missing data in one or more fields, which breaks my page, causing a BOF or EOF error, since the recordset is empty. I can check for an initial EOF, before any traversing of the records, but don't know how exactly to bypass execution of the record accessing from there.
I am working with an array that I am populating off my database. However, in some instances the array will be empty. Is there any way to determine an empty array besides ubound = 0 (which might mean 1 record in included)?
users are entering data, but when they submit the form, once in a while request.forms returns an empty string instead of the string its supposed to get. Anyone seen this behavior before? Is there a solution
i want to count all the records in my database where a certain field is empty.
heres my statement: "SELECT Count(*) As Total FROM table WHERE field1='value' AND field2=' ' "
gives an error. If it not possible. can the next be done: 1 count all the records. 2 count the records where field2='Yes' 3 subtract the two to get where field 2 is empty?
i know it's just something small, but i can't seem to figure it out. i also tried field2 != 'Yes'
It works fine, but sometimes the Subject Name field is empty, so instead of a blank space, I'd like to put something like "Empty Recordset" there. Is there anyway to do this with my current code?
How the heck do you work out what is actually in a db field that appears to be empty? I have fields that appear to be empty but do not seem to evaluate to empty or null, so test using IsEmpty or IsNull are useless, I 'm guessing it contains spaces or non-printing characters of some sort but how do I test for these?
This one's probably been asked before but I'm tired of trying to find a solution (if there is one!). I have an asp update page and I'd like to convert all empty fields to NULL prior to updating the Access db rather than permitting zero length fields in the db.
Is this possible? Is there any way to globally declare this for all text fields on the asp page rather than having to do a whole whack of "if then" formats? Is there something I can set in the field's properties in Access that will deny zero length yet won't cause the asp update to choke and return an error?
I have a Recordset that pulls data if 'Promotion' field in data base contains 'promo' and subsequently displays data from a field called 'TourTitle' on my ASP page..
However if the 'Promotion' field is empty in the database, I get an error on my page.. I have tried to use the following, but it is not working..
I have a login page where I have three different ways to authenticate a user.
1. Use integrated authentication and read the server variable AUTH_USER and then verify if this is a valid user from a database. If OK I write some session cookies and then re-direct to another page placed in the same folder (which will read the cookie and verify that it is valid). This works OK.
2. Use anonymous login where the user is typing in a username/password which is checked against a database and if OK I write session cookies and then re-direct to other page which reads this cookie. This also work OK.
3. Now we read another server variable that is set by a third party oracle product (don't know much about this product but when I print the value of the servervariable it is OK). I write some cookies and then redirect to another page. When I read the cookie now it is empty. If I read the cookie just before I do my re-direct it is OK but after the re-direct it is empty.
Do you have any sugestion why the cookie becomes emtpy after the re-direct in the third case but not in the other two? It is the same code doing the actual reading/writing of the cookies in all three options above.
I have a table in MS Access that's used for users to post announcements on. There's only one problem- if it's empty (meaning there are no announcements), the page returns an error stating that either BOF or EOF is true. Basically, it doesn't like the null status of the table. Is there a way to state something like 'There is nothing currently here.'? I've been playing with this code but it hasn't worked yet:
If an.EOF=an.BOF Then Response.Write("There are currently no system announcements.") Else do while not an.eof 'This starts a loop that lists them all End If
I have a form with three fields.The data from each field is sent to seperate tables in the database. If the user only enters info in one field then I only want that data to be sent. Instead empty fields are being sent to the database.I've tried
I always run into issues when a record set is returned empty because the WHERE clause in my SQL weeds everything out. What do you think is the most elegant way to test if there are any records to loop through?
I am working on a system where a program will send a user to a page e.g. www.mysite.com/customer.asp?id=xxxx (where xxx is the userid). If id=xxxx doesn't exist I want the system to redirect the user to a registration page where he or she can add their info, including the id=xxxx to a an access db. The next time the user uses this software, it will send them to the same (now existing) page. is this possible?
how do you check if a recordset is empty? i am trying to write a code that checks in the database if a field is empty and if it is, it should equal to "No." . here's what i have so far:
If rs("contact")="" then rs("contact")="No" Else rs("contact")=rs("contact") End If
I am getting this error:
ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0CB3) Current Recordset does not support updating. This may be a limitation of the provider, or of the selected locktype.
i have a form with 2 textbox and 2 buttons if i push the 2nd button it summits the form to a process page and add both textbox info into a database( with the check if they are empty), this because the form action is set to go to that page.
but i want the 1st button to do a test if the 1st textfield is empty and if is not i want it to post just the value of the first textbox to another page(process2). i've got the 2nd button working allright but i dont know how to so set up the code to the first button.
i want to test if a recordset is empty then print a sentence Else display the records. i tried if recordset.recordcount = 0 then ..... else and it aint working. i want to use it for a delete.asp page cuz when the table is empty it throws an error.
