View Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do is parse a string, then create variables for each word. Example:
- someone enters "cats and dogs" in the text field
- I need to end up with:
firstWord = "cats"
secondWord ="and"
thirdWord ="dogs"
Then I will use the variables firstWord, secondWord, thirdWord later in my app.
Have an ASP page on internet, where I let the user write his email address. Today I see that this text input field has got a yellow background instead of the normal white as the other input fields. The code is quite normal. Using IE 6.0.2900. It has not appeared before. Then I rebooted the computer,but got the same result.When I try another computer, also with XP pro and the same IE, the text input is white as it should.
View Replies View RelatedI have a form with an text box called keywords. I want to get the text typed in by the user from this box (which will pobably be built up of several words).
I have declared arrsplitkeywords to assign these words to. But first i have split the input from the text box where there is a space. See the line of code below:
arrsplitkeywords = Split(Request.Form("Keywords"),",")
I now need to replace this so that the words are split up to be split like "','" I have the following line of code to do this:
Replace(arrsplitkeywords,",", "','")
This doesn't appear to work, and on the replace line i get the following error:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0401)
Expected end of statement
Any help please as to why this isn't working?

I am trying to build an asp page the displays 100 characters from text inputed into a text area. The page keeps breaking because it counts any HTML code the text might have. I would like to have it count the words instead and when I write out the words it includes any underlying html.
For example, here is a sentence: "The fox jumps over the lazy dog" and I could cut this sentence in half by counting out the first 18 character and only outputing those respectively. Everything would work just fine. But if the sentence is like this "The fox jumps <a href='http://www.microsoft.com' target='_blank'>over</a> the lazy dog." a simple letter count no longer works for me. If I printed out the first 18 characters then it will break my "href" tag and therefore would mess up the formatting of my page. Can someone point me to an article or component that will assist me in correcting this?
I want to create some text input fields which they should all have the same size regardless the browser version or type. Because my text input field looks different in size if I view them from a different computer. Is the following coding should solve the problem?
<input type="text" name="field" value="" size="30" style="width:300px;">
Is the best way to use CSS to control the size of a text input field?
Since my efforts to get my current script working are not working out. Does anyone know of a good ASP form handling script that can work with my HTML form.

have issue with.
My purpose is for user to update their own profile. Their existing profile
information will be display in Edit Form format. The problem is if the field
has space, the second word will not display, when I display in input text
format.

Johnson" as FirstName, when I execute following code and do a input text, it

View Replies View RelatedI have a website with a Guessbook section. Lately I noticed someone copy and pasted a long http address to promote viagra.. I believe he simply copy and paste the whole link into the text input field and submit several times. It created multiple entries in my guessbook.
How can I prevent this? I was thinking if it is possible for me to write some code to disable people using the control-p to paste text in my text input field.. Can I really do that? What other options do I have?

I get an sql syntax error.
Heres my code:

Is there anyway I can go around it?
I am designing a website for a friend that has a backend database that holds information on all the stock they have and this gets displayed onto the page no problems.
The only problem I have is when they add new items to the database, a part of the form is a textarea and in this teaxtarea they copy generated code from paypal (a form that is generated by Paypal as a add to basket button).
The problem I have got is that if you try to add this textarea to the database field what you get is a image of the paypal button and no code.
I have tried the replace function, concatenated it in comments etc but all i get is a blank field or a image of the button.
I have a HTML page with a form on it. I have an ASP page that processes what a user has entered into the form (updates a database etc).
I now need a page that fits between these two pages to pre-process�the users input. I need to do it this way because I am not allowed to change either of the two existing pages.
I know how to read what the user has input into the form and I know how to pass control onto the next page.
What I have not been able to work out is how to change the user input and have those changes passed onto the next page as if nothing has happened (that is, the original ASP page just performs its request.form(�item�) calls as it always has but instead of seeing what the user actually typed in, it should see the changed text as created by the new pre process� page)
I have tried using a regular expression replace but can only successfully make this change a variable and not the original form input. Equally I cannot find a way of swapping the original form input string with the output variable from the replace.
Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
