I am programming a page that displays scientific data retrieved from a
data source to an asp-web page and i would like to force all number to
be formatted/displayed in scientific notation no matter what the value
is. (i.e. x = 123 would be displayed as x = 1.23e+02). The standard
function "formatnumeric(x[,n])" does not seem to be able to do this for
me or at least I don't know how to use it that way.
I'm as the topic notes, having some problems with recieveing decimal values from my database(MySQL). I'm pretty sure its a simple misstake, but since im pretty new to asp-syntaxes, I dont get it.
What I have is a table with a float(30,30) (yes, 30 decimals, its an experiment so I wanto "be safe"). I can take a variable, fill it with a jibberish numeric value say 1.111111111111 and write it in, works like a charm if I check the database manualy, however, I cant get it out!
Whenever I read from that database and into a value, I only get the first 5 decimals and the rest is left out, even if I display the database-value directly I cant get it to work!
If I do response.write MyResult("value") it still displays 1.11111 even if the actual value in the database is 1.1111111111->etc.
What could be wrong here?
If I do a little .....

My main page shows a table to which a user can add data to by clicking on a button, this in turn loads up a pop up window where the data to be entered is typed. Once the data is submitted the popup window is closed via Close button, but the table on the main IE page only shows the updated information if the refresh button is clicked.
All i want to know is, is there a way of forcing refresh of the main page when the close button in the popup window is clicked. Code used for the close button:
<TD><a href="javascript:self.close()" title="Close"><IMG align="center" src="http://localhost/***/close.gif" alt="Close Window"></a></TD>

this I am just searching for the wrong thing?

Is there a way to force a file to be saved instead of using the "default action". In my situation, I've got a series of MP3 files that are being used by my chorus as a learning tool for learning the current music quickly. I have instructions on the site telling them to save the files to their hard drives and to play them from there.
However, people are just clicking on the links and their default MP3 players are trying to play the files. Now, I have compressed the files pretty hard because some were griping about the filesizes, so if they are played right off the link, the quality is a bit choppy. If they save it to their hard drive and play it there, it sounds fine.

Just curious: is there a bit of ASP code you can place in the top of a document that will force all root relative image and file paths in the HTML of this doc to expand to include the full URL?
I doubt it, but before I did it manually, I thought I'd ask. We use a template of sorts, but need one document to use the full URL, and it would better to just have it that way in the one document and not the entire template.

I need to make it so that I can download a .WMV video file. because giving users the direct link doesn't work and I think its alot better than asking them to right click and save item as..
The below code forces a prompt to the user to open or save the .pdf file file to their local machine. It seems to work great except I have one user who can not open any .pdfs using this prompting method. He gets an error that says "File could not be found". However, if we choose the 'save' option instead, we can save the file to his local machine. He can open .pdf files from normal links to .pdf files. It's just this prompting method that is causing a problem. So, I'm perplexed.
I did some digging and found that there is also an FSO (File System Object) method (which may or may not solve my problem), but I'm not sure how to impliment the FSO or if that will even help me with this.

View Replies View RelatedI have a page that does a postback using ASP.NET and VB.NET. Basically, there is a form item that changes the settings on the page and it is near the bottom of the page. If you change it, the page has to refresh to display the changes to the page, but when it does, the refresh causes the page to be displayed at the TOP of the page.
Is there a way to force the page to either A: scroll to the bottom or B: (even better) scroll to a certain focus point on the page by giving the name of a control or something?
