View Replies View RelatedI have coded a file upload process in ASP and the current way I allow files to be downloaded, which have been uploaded is by using the <a href> tag. This works but it normally opens the files for the user in a new browser window. What I would like to do is present the user with a download link which opens the Windows File Download dialog box.
I thought there might be an easy way to do this kind of like HTML provides for uploading a file… which is the input type=file (presents the user with the browse button). Is there an easy way to present the user with a Windows File Download dialog box?
Can somebody loan me a lobe and give me a snippet of code that will:
a) Accept a file name (.xls extension)
b) Invoke the "Save as" dialog rather than displaying the Excel file in the browser.
i am using the following code to force a file download dialog in asp
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" &" &
StrFileName
Now the it works fine in ie5.5 sp2 but no ie5.5 sp1 it prompts the
user twice the open dialog box.
i found on microsoft site that it bug in ie 5.5 sp1 and it says to
upgrade to sp2.
but my users are not willing to ugrade there ie. can you please help me out how can work this in ie5.5 sp1 or anyu other way to force a file download...
What is the appropriate control or code to pop a "save as" dialog window to
allow the user of a web page to save a document after they click on a link?
All of the CommonDialog controls obviously are to be used on WinForms, so not
sure how to accomplish this from an aspx page.
I have a form with some textfields & checkboxes.One of the text field allows the user to select a file.When the user submits a form , I am inserting all textbox and checkbox values in a database.But, while performing insert I also want to upload the selected file on web server.Does any one know how to do that?

View Replies View RelatedI have a problem. I tried my best but could not solve is. I have a
page where user selects the folder name from a drop down list. It takes
user to show.asp page, where it how all the files in the folder and
also user can click on them and download them. If I select name of the
folder from the list, on show.asp it shows all the files and their
link.
When I click on the link then most of the file which has long
name and have space in their names wont be hyper linked. For example if
files name is Virus Control.vsd or file name is INCIDENT-ACCIDENT
INVESTIGATION REPORT.htm. If I click on them it will say "The page
cannot be found". Code:
I have setup a site that allows users to login with a username and a password that are stored in a mysql database,
now what i need to do is set it up so the users can only download specific file(s) related to their username.
With my current set up using all asp and iis 5.0 all the users can download the same file from a certain directory.
I was thinking of somehow using the session variable of the username as a variable in the download path of the file, but i don't
know if this is a correct method of doing this or the correct syntax.
This does not seam to work for me in IE, but does in Netscape? What I am trying to accomplish is this.
On the footer of everypage we have a link that opens a comment page, example [<a href="#" onclick="javascript:view_win(/comment/comments2.asp');" class="notes">Send Comments</a>]. I am trying to write asp code to that takes the referering page and then gives the the filepath of that page which searches a database of web authors, and then returns the authors email address. after that I loop to add input sendto's for each one found.

i want to trim the given path and get the file name with its extenstion:
i.e. only get the "XPIcon.jpg" in the following example
URLImage = "D:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopXPIcon.jpg"

I'm needing some help on this. I need to know how to parse a file path for the file name in a browse box. Lets say I have a browse box in a form with the input of
C:/somedirectory/somefile.asp
I need a piece of code that could convert the input into just somefile.asp?
In my ASP file, located at the "/test" directory of the website, I include another ASP file as below.
<!--#include file="../templates/_header.asp"-->
Inside the _header.asp file, how can I get the current file (_header.asp) directory? I need to get the web relative/absolute directory of _header.asp, but instead even if I can get the physical directory location of that file should be fine.
I tried Request.ServerVariables("") with almost all the variables, but none gave me what I wanted. This is necessory, becase the location of _header.asp and the file which includes that can vary.
I am attempting to upload files to a folder on a remote server. However the folder is different for each user based on login. Is there anyway to do this using the code below. If not can someone tel me of a way to do it.
Dim DestinationPath
DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("UploadFolder")
what I'm doing is executing a query based on login for a varible called "uploadFolder", so I want my destination path to be something like
<% DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("rsRecord(uploadFolder)")%>
Of course my code doesn't work,
I am not able to save the file path into database remaining everything is working good i can upload the image to the folder and save the data to the database. I am using MySQL database .....
View Replies View Relateddoes any one here know of a good way to to determine whether or not a
given path is a directory (e.g., "c:mydir") or a file (e.g., "c:mydir
myfile.txt")?
i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check
whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a
directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if
so, it was a file path. Code:
The file uploader code I've been using won't let me use Request.Form and BinaryRead on the same page so I've resorted to having the file upload code on another, seperate page that is spawned from the first. Trouble is, the path to store the file at is determined on the first page and I don't know how to pass it along to the second.
View Replies View RelatedI usually use SQL Server, but have occasionally had to use Access. This is
such an occasion. My research, mainly at aspfaq.com, has been that you need
to put the file path in your connection string, like this (watch out for the
wrap):
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:mydirectorynamedbname.mdb;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxxxx;"
Well, the host of this new site I am working on is asking me if a relative
path will work. I don't think it will, but thought I should ask.

View Replies View RelatedI have a simple asp form which writes to a csv.
The code it's based on (from "ASP for Dummies") is:

View Replies View RelatedIs there a way to determine the filepath of an ASP script being executed, like so? First file contains:
<%
For Each x In arrNuggets
Server.Execute "/nuggets/" & x & "/default.asp"

The executed file, default.asp, needs to be able to figure out what it's parent folder name is.
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") only returns the name of the first initial page loaded, and nothing about the page currently being executed.
I am trying to create a log of certain events on the website by writing them
to a text file. The logging code is in an "included" file that is inserted
into the pages that need to be monitored. Currently, the target text file is
just specified in the FSO MapPath as "thelog.txt", so it writes the log to a
text file within the same folder as the web page.
The problem is that I don't want to grant browsers Write access to my pages
folder, so I need to have a separate directory to hold the log text file
that browsers can have Write access to. The web site is hosted on a shared
server that I do not have direct access to. In the past, occasionally an
error has popped up that states the exact location, but I can not get that
to repeat. I know it is something like "D:customersmyuseridwww"
How can I find out the actual location on the server so I can use an
absolute path to write all the logs to one file in one location?
I have an upload script but i would like to show the person who uploaded the file the path to the file he uploaded. Ex: http://site.com/images/uploadedfile.jpg.

- Is it possible to have multiple replace on the same variable ?
- am I doing it the right way ? or is it possible to concatenate those replace in one go ?
Is there a limit on how many Replace one can use for one variable ?
The problem I have is that it takes the first two Replace in consideration but not the third one. If I remove or comment the second one then the First and the third one works fine. For some reason, it doesn't like to have the three in the same time.
