I want to load a web page from another server via http into an array or variable, parse it, and pull some data using plain ol ASP / VBScript.an example page to pull:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=4245
I search quite a bit for this info but so many results and not enough knowledge in this area of ASP.
I have 3 domains, A, B, and C.
I want to put the same JS tag on sites A and B that call an asp page on domain C.
The tag would look like this:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://secure.C.com/Demo/Intercept.asp"></script>
The ASP page on domain C would write a cookie, in theory the cookie should have permissions for read and writing from site C.
Something like this:
Response.Cookies("Name").Expires = Date() + 365
Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Domain = ".C.com"
Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Path = "/"
In firefox the result is exactly as planned, a cookie is set when a user goes to sites A or B via site C, and using this same approach, I can read the cookie from domains A and B via the JS tag calling the script on site C.
IE does not like this. Sometimes it doesn't even write the cookie, other times the cookie has to be there b/c of resulting actions taken, but when viewing the list of cookies, it's no where to be found. Additionally, I don't seem to be able to read the cookie the same way as firefox is letting me.
I know this can be done, I went to foodnetwork.com (yeah I love to cook), and saw that they were using a metric service that was calling a back end script from the vendors domain, and setting a cookie from that vendors domain, all without the user seeing anything or leaving the foodnetwork.com domain. I've looked at the resulting JS code that is returned from these vendor back end pages, and it has nothing to do with the cookie being set, it's definitely happening server side.
I'm no ASP/VBScript guru, but I need to read a page from another domain, extract some information, and format it inside one of our own pages at the office.Just to make one thing clear: I'm not ripping off someone else's page. The external site handles employment ads, and we're supposed to include our own ads from there.
Frames or iframes are out of the question, since we use HTML 4.01 Strict. The markup on the external page is horrible (layout tables, presentational markup, etc.). I want to read the external page into a string, and then extract the actual ad information and format that on our page. This would be very easy in PHP, using fopen(), and I assume there is something similar for ASP/VBScript.
I have a project in which I need to send info to/get info from a RS-232 port of the server depending on the client clicks on a asp web page.
How can I access a serial port from the ASP code itself. I tried to use MSCOMM... But it is not working. Is there any way to do this?
As an alternative mechanism, we planned to shift all the communication related stuff to Visual C++ application which sits as a service in the Server and do the necesary communication stuff whenever it receives any request from an ASP page. We planned to use socket communication between ASP page and VC++ application if we go with this way. What are the other ways that a VC application and a ASP application can talk to each other...?
I'm using IIS on my localhost and also in some free Brinkster webspace.
The problem I have is that when ever I try to use a script that includes the File System Object (as I want to read/write/copy files etc), the page won't load, the progress bar in the browser just very slowly increases, but never gets anywhere, and nothing ever loads.So I'm thinking it's a set up problem? I've tried the same scripts in my Brinkster webspace, and they don't work there (but I know they do work!) but Brinkster may have some restrictions.
Is an FSO problem like this common? Can I alter some settings on my localhost set up to solve it?
I wanted to know if there is a way to load a asp page in to it self.
View Replies View RelatedI have an asp page that gets data from a form in another page, for this, i am using the GET method to send the data to my asp page, and the page works great.
This asp page, nowadays, is quite big for displaying at once, so i decided to split this page in four new pages. Basically, my old asp page is now the static visible part, and the other four new asp pages, are the ones that will show the dinamic data.
What I tried was to make an <!--#include file... -->, and this works great for me if i have not to pass any values to the pages in the includes, but i have to, so what i want to know is if it possible to do this in any way, or, if i have to make four new diferent pages.
I have a page (with a form on it) and when the form is submitted, if there is an error the page is redirected to an error page (i.e. your attempt was unsuccessful..etc) Once the user is redirected to the error page, after a few seconds the page automatically takes him back to the previous page he/she was on.
This is exactly what I want, HOWEVER, when the user is redirected back to the previous page, I would like for the page to be refreshed so the form can be cleared without the user having to click a reset button or anything like that. Does anyone have any clues to how may be able to go about achieving this?
I'm having some fits with getting this to work but I'm near the end and I'm
hoping this one obstacle is not a huge one to get past.
Here's my scenario:
I have a page where when someone clicks on a dropdown and selects an item,
it will hide 2 other dropdown boxes that are related as the input in those
are applicable. When I save those items, everything gets into the db fine.
The problem is when the page refreshes, those 2 related dropdown boxes that
should be not visible are still visible. Is there a way in VBScript to
hide/show those controls based on the data in dropdown A? Javascript is
handling the actions but I don't think I can call Javascript on page load.
I have a relatively simple ASP page written in javascript, that basically
contains a table, a dropdown list populated by a query, and a button.
The problem is that when first navigating to this page, the progress bar in
IE only shows the page as being 10 or 20% complete, even though the page has
fully loaded.
I originally had a mix of html/jscript/html (in that order), and tried
changing that to html/jscript just to see if the conversion from static to
dynamic to static code was causing a problem, but with no effect.
I have run the output of this page thru two or three different html
validators, none of which show a problem with the final code.
I'm using IIS on W2k server, and IE6 or IE5.5 on client.
I have 2 ASPX files. One is the main, the other a smaller one which is the
center part of the main ASP file.
Now, how do I load the 2nd ASP into the first one?
I have a "Digital Dashboard" that basically has 4 IFrame sections.
The page flows in the following order: Messages, Stocks, Weather, User
Links. Please note that this order needs to stay that way.
Everything but the Stocks section is pulled from our dB. I am using
the server control InetCtls.Inet to obtain the stock data from Yahoo
Finance.
The question I have is can I load the page using the dB driven sources
first and then the external source (e.g., Messages, Weather, Links,
Stocks). In other words, I need to page to render the Stock portion
last. What currently happens is the page loads, then "pauses" while
loading the stock information, and then finally loads the remaining
content. The pause is caused by the "screen scraping." If I can give
the appearance that the page has fully loaded, and then load the
stocks last, that would be perfect. I tried looking at script defer,
but I don't think that is what I want.
In summary, I have 1 asp page that contains 4 IFrames. I need to load
the page out of sequence. Is this possible? Any help would be much
appreciated. We are running IIS 5.0 w/ asp 3.0.

<input style="LEFT: 800px; WIDTH: 95px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 485px; HEIGHT: 24px" type=button value='Delete' name=deleteButton onclick=<%agentDelete();%> size=31>

The input line above is hardcoded into the body of the page. In other forms I have the same syntax, but it gets built from the server and they all work fine. I'm not building this from the server because it's a different form.

View Replies View RelatedI currently have my database set up so that when a user uploads a file, it writes it in binary in the database. I know the benefits of having a separate file server and storing the path, but unfortunately, I can not do it that way.
I know how to include the file in, lets say, a hyperlink so that any user can click on the file to view it. But, I would like to know how to include the file (mainly pictures) directly into the page as an <img src> Any suggestions?
P.S.
Once the information is in the database, these are the commands I use to output the file to a hyperlink. The file that this code is in is "file.asp?Id=" Where the Id is taken from the URL and used to obtain the correct file. I left out all the connection/cmd strings intentionally just show I could show the relevant information:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "filename=" & _
rs("FileName")
Response.ContentType = rs("ContentType")
Response.BinaryWrite RS("FileData")
