View RepliesDoes any one know how many characters possible in a variable name in ASP?
Is it only 15 characters long or could it be more?
i.e. could the variable name be ThisIsTheFirstName
I do not name my variables like this but I would like to know the max length possible.
What I have is an ASP page that starts off with multiple ways to access a project list and other pages via mysql queries. One of those is a button with the following
<form name="ProjectsActive" method="post" action="P_ProjSort.asp?ActiveSort=1&MySort=1">
From this button I'm wanting to pass a variable to acknowledge that it is ONLY wanting ACTIVE projects and also what was originally already there which is the MySort for sorting by different columns. The next page has the following I cut out some irrelevant stuff. Code:
I am new to ASP and I cannot figure out how to pass variable content in ASP. How to pass the variable sClientNo in the following redirect.
Response.Redirect("AccessDenied.asp?ClientNo=sClientNo")
I want to store connect Strings in one global place. Which is the best practice to store such values and other constants.
View Replies View RelatedI'm having a brain fart at the moment. Can someone tell me how to dynamically create variable names based on a loop counter?
for i = 1 to Num_Cart_Items
Item_Name & i = Request.Form("item_name" & i)
Item_Number & i = Request.Form("item_number" & i)
next
Desired result:
Item_Name1 = Test Product
Item_Number1 = 1234
Item_Name2 = Test Product 2
Item_Number2 = 2345
The problem is with the Item_Name & i..I used to know how to do this, but I can't remember or find any code that I did this with.

I've been given an ASP site built, tested and working on IIS 5.1 to be hosted on IIS 6. I've gone through the process of enabling ASP, parent paths, and debugging in the IIS Management console. My first ASP works as expected, however, a link to a second gives me the error:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
This is not a lot to go on, so my question is can i turn on debugging/error messages to give me more of a starter?
I've never been able to get my head round arrays, and despite expensive googling I can't work out how to sort this problem:
I have a simple shopping cart that attaches a stock ID number and a quantity to a session variable. Each item selected is added to the session("cart") as "ID.Quantity" and divided by a comma. Thus the string is "12.7,3.45,8.9" etc.
Can anyone show me how to turn this into a two dimensional array, so I can get the relevant records for each ID from my database and match it to the number requested? Splitting the string by comma and then by full-stop has beaten me.
In a string what is the character I should use to represent an enter?
View Replies View Relatedi am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?
I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.
The problems seems to do with formatting the text in the variable with <span>s using stylesheets, or if there are " and ' markes in the post proper (which I can't seemt to remove with Replace). Here's my code:
if i had a string which looked like this :
,apple, orange, grape, tomatoes
how do i remove the first character[,] from the string using the trim() function?
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:
temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedI have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

if i've two strings like:Code:
dim pic_name=replace(Request.Form("pic_name"),"'","''")
dim pic_path="pro-details/PICs/"
how could i merge the two strings to get the complete pic-path
< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"
value="<%=strPageTitle%>" >
How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

I am storing some strings via asp.net in my dbase. The string looks like this:
Well, that`s just a simple level 100 quiz aiming to imprint ""standard random number generators are not really random"" program to those who still lack it. What will produce the following C# snippet? ‘ ....
Now I am reading these values via ASP and need to print them out.
Unfortunaly it does not UnCode the string back so that I can show it to the user. I know I could use the replace function but I wont replace all chars, there are many from this type. What can I do?

response.write "2nd condition"

View Replies View RelatedI am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?
