I've just been caught out by a host that doesn't support #includes in my
ASPs. What's the best strategy for replacing these calls to files that
include everything from subs and functions, global constants, other
#includes, script directives, etc.??
The book I am referring to learn ASP states the following about server- side includes:
==============================================
The code in a server-side include file is inserted into the pages that use it BEFORE the page's ASP code is evaluated. This means that you can put ASP code inside the include file, and it will be executed like it was part of the page that includes it. On the other hand, it means that you cannot use ASP to determine which page to include.
==============================================
But as opposed to the last line in the above para, the following code makes use of ASP to determine which page to include: Code:
I am troubleshooting a web site (not written by me) and may of the pages use server side includes. This one page includes a page that return includes the page the included it.
Page 1 (_connection.asp):
<!--#include file="MGroups/MRdisplayfun.asp"-->
Page 2 (MRdisplayfun.asp):
<!--include file="../_connection.asp"-->
The site is quite slow and when I first found this I thought that this was the primary cause of it. Then I thought this page shouldn't work at all because it would create an infinite loop and should just recursively call the pages and eventually consumme all server resources and database connections.
However it doesn't appear to act that way and the page does display and there is no endless calls to the SQL statements in the two pages. Is there something that prevents recursive calling when using SSIs?
I have an xml document with a corresponding xsl file. I have the option of serving the xml directly for client side transformation or using a basic .asp file to transform the xml into xhtml.
All things being equal, I'd prefer to have the server do the transformation to avoid browser problems. Both options are basically working and the data in my xml files are being displayed properly through each method. Code:
What I would like to do is randomize which file gets used with as a server
side include. Here is what I have so far: Code:
I am using SSI navigation on my new ASP web site. On the original HTML version, if you clicked a link on the main navigation and entered a section, for example, SKILLS, the skills link on the navigation would be highlighted in a different colour, so the user would know which setion the were in.
To achieve this, in every single HTML page, I changed the CSS tag of the selected section. For example, Code:
I've been using SSIs for a while now. I'm now using them in a menu system. I'm trying to use multiple SSIs, that is SSIs within SSIs, but I'm just wondering if this will slow the pages down, and put too much strain on the server. I'll try to illustrate what I'm doing.
This is a dropdown menu system. Rolling over Link1 will reveal Link1-a, Link1-b and Link1-c, and likewise with Link2 and Link3: Code:
I am building up a library of Class'es that represent various columns of
table layouts. One often used column is "name" and each occurrence is
treated identically. (What a concept, eh?)
Part of that library of Class'es includes representations of various tables.
(Just let me know if you see a trend going on here.) These Class'es use the
column Class'es.
What I would like to do, but I have yet to find a way around duplicated
names, is to place all the necessary supporting column Class #include's in
the table's Class so that I need only place the table's Class in the module
utilizing them.
I understand entirely why the "duplicate name" error occurs.
What I am looking for is a way around the conundrum that does not require
duplication of code. Any ideas?

View Replies View Relatedis it possible to open an excel file (used as a template) from server using server-side vbscript; then modify it or add values from client using client-side vbscript?
View Replies View RelatedFollowing is a vbscript code extract triggered by a combobox OnChange event. arrVendorA and arrdefpack are server side arrays and i need the intCounter parameter to be the array index. Code:

dim selVendor
selvendor= colSelect("cboVendor", intCounter).value
if selvendor= "<%=arrvendorA(intCounter)%>" then

colTD("txtStdPack" & intcounter+1 ).innertext = cstr("<%=arrVAStdPAckL2(intCounter)%>")

How do I go about calling a server-side vbscript within a client-side
javascript function? What I have is a page heavy on the javascript that has
a number of functions, one of which is to begin a visual countdown with an
onclick and also open an asp page containing the server-side vbscript, which
initiates a wake-on-lan call. I had no idea how to call the vbscript within
the javascript function, so this is why I opted for the vbscript asp page
"pop-up" via window.open. Code:

I am starting to build quite a few pages that will have
tables of data from an SQL database.
I have been building the table rows on the server side
in VBScript, but I have been thinking about having the
VBScript code just build array variables in the <head>
section (or as local variables), and then have JavaScript
functions on the client side actually populate the tables
when the page loads.
I do plan to do other things like being able to sort the
tables in JavaScript code on the client, limit the tables
height and be able to scroll the rows, and click on a row
in the table, and have the values populate a form. I will
also need to be able to export/download/? some tables into
Excel.

View Replies View RelatedI have inherited a set of asp pages that I now need to augment. In order to minimize changes to production code, I would like to make a "call" to an asp page from a new asp page. Existing code is using many Request.Form variables, and I would very much prefer not to change this code.
The new page will retrieve data that I would like to fill into Request.Form variables that are used in the old code. So, is it possible for me to set Request.Form variables from within an asp page and then fire off a second page that uses those variables as
well as any Request.Form variables that were passed to the original page. Additionaly, it should all occur on the server, and the client would only get a response after all on the server is complete.

I would like to print to a printer connected to my IIS server.
I mean "I DONT WANT TO PRINT ON EVERY PRINTER IN THE WORLD". (many
answers are thinking javascript printing to the user side)
I just want to print on the server side only for me (in ASP of course)
Another thing to consider is that i use a local printer that generate
PDF (Acrobat Distiller driver + ghostscript + redmon port redirector ).
My server side printer name is "PDFPrinter" and its port is "RPT1:"

work.I saw many examples with:

I want to do some time based house cleaning chores on a server based on server time/date. I know how to do it based on a call from the client using asp, but is it
possible to have a program residing on the server that comes alive based on server time (not a client call) and does it's tasks such as delete an inactive page, or more importantly, send out a cdonts e-mail to a client list? I should also mention that this is a shared Windows 2003 Server (Interland Blue Halo).
