Read An External Page
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 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 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 am working with a developer, on two portions to a site, he is working in PHP and my work is done in ASP.
Is it possible for my pages to request data from a cookie that was written by his pages that are PHP but residing on the same server? Just want to make sure before I spend too much time planning out the development on my end.

I am building a link exchange system - It works but I have to validate each recipricol link individually. I want to modify it so that it can read a web page and determine whether the website has added a recipricol link to my site before I add theirs.

I have an ASP site where the majority of the site style is set in CSS but certain aspects such as font and background colors for sections is set by the user in a web page, with the data being pulled from an Access database.
It should be noted that the site is an open source forum and the user mentioned above is the admin for the site - so this only means limited access to this functionality but allows the admin to customise their forum for their users easily, whilst keeping them from the more crucial aspects of the CSS which afect table layouts etc.
The question has been asked - is it possible to not have to split the CSS like this (some in Db some in CSS sheet) and instead include it all in a style sheet?
I guess what I am asking is - is it possible to read and write to the style sheet from ASP, and if so how would you identify each CSS ID or Class?

here is my code:
set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXMLHTTP.open "GET", "http://www.xxx.com/index22.asp", false
objXMLHTTP.send ""
intStatus = objXMLHTTP.status
response.Write(intStatus)
let say the addres is not exist, but the web server will auto redirect the page to a user customize page, and the object track the page as 200. Is there any way to track the error even the page is redirect to a 404 page ?

What I need to do is use asp to read the contents of a web page (that is generated on another server), put the html in to a sting, and then take action based on the contents of the string. I can probably do all of the sring manipulation myself, but want to know if I can open the page and read the first 200 characters in to a variable that I can then manipulate.

I have a csv file that has 2 columns - Name and Team. I want to display both of these on a page in seperate dropdown boxes..Ideally I would then like to have an option where the user of the page can click a button to change which team an employee is a part off, in effect overwriting that line of data but not deleting everything else in the file
The code below lets me see each column from the csv file on a page in a separate dropdown box but I don't think I have the logic right to do what I need..I've checked Google and w3schools but I must not be searching for the correct thing as I can't find a way to do this... Code:

i have a page that i need to load in an iframe that is on a diff domain (sub domain), i need to get the doc height of the page so that i can adjust the iframes height (so there will be no scroll bars).the problem with that is even though its on the same sever, because it is on a subdomain the browser sees it as different and restricts access to it (makes sense).
so, what we can do is have php read in the page with curl and parse it out in the iframe. that looks like <iframe src="reader.php?page=subdomain.pagename.html">but, we cannot use php on this server so i was wondering if there is an asp solution that can do the same thing (vb script). basically, i just need that asp page to grab the page on the sub domain, read it in and then output it.

I need to read a SQL Server table into a Web Page and within the Web
Page to permit my users to make changes to the records, delete or add
new records and then save the entire contents back to the SQL Server
table back.
The functionality I am looking is almost the same as In the SQL
Enterprise Manager whereby I can choose a table open the table and
then return all rows and I can maintain the same and save it back to
the SQL Server table. I want almost a similar web interface to such a
functionality.
Even if not a generic functionality as the SQL Enterprise Manager
table maintenance appreciate if somebody can share the code with a
sample how I can do it in ASP pages + T-SQL if need be.

I am trying to display a random background image for a webpage. I found this code to do it
<%
'Defines the number of background images you have
Const NUMBER_OF_IMAGES = 2
'Initiates the randomize function
Randomize
'Sets a variable: this will be used to hold the
'random generated value
Dim intImageNumber
'This is where we create the random number
intImageNumber = Int((NUMBER_OF_IMAGES * Rnd) + 1)
%>
Modify the body tag to accept the random number. In this case we are going
to place it within the image so as to facilitate the selection of a random
image. Code:

I have multiple websites on my Intranet. My current search engines can search within their own environment. However, I would like to have one search page, which retreives results from all environments.
My first task is to connect, retreive and display results from a second server (through http). Then I will need to scrub the results to display in a unique template.

My company recently hired a third party to handle phone orders during off hours. The third party wants to be able to update our database through their own interface. We are running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server with ASP.NET 1.1. The number one thing that come to mind is security for credit cards. Perhaps some kind of web service, xml, etc.? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to handle this?
