I'm working on making a form that when submitted checks to see if the user has typed in a link, if so it converts it to a hyperlink.
This is for a news submission form on one of my sites. I don't really care if it is a popup like SPF has, or not. Just wanted to see if anyone here has done something similiar, and which route they took.
How would you go about creating a link on a desktop through an asp page.
You know the old trick click here to bookmark this page?. I need to take that a step further, i need a link that when clicked it creates a link on the desktop to that page.
I have uploaded files to a SQL Server DB using Pure ASP Upload, and that was a snap, but what I would like to do is create a link in my recordset from the file name in the database to the actual file that resides in a folder in the database so that when a user clicks on the link, the file will open.
I've done this successfully using another program but it used an ACCESS DB and I want to use it with SQL Server. Plus the ACCESS DB used a field with a data type of Binary.
What I am wanting to do is list the last 10 submissions to a knowledge base and create a link to each one with the question text serving as the visual representation of the link.
I have searched the forums for info on how to do this in ASP and have come up empty. I will detail what I have so far.
I have a database table called kbase and want to have html table with links to the last 10 things entered. I just can't figure out how to get a dynamic link to point back to the database entry.
I may be missing something very simple here but as this is work related my time frame for learning is small at best. Code:
I have 1 asp page.I throw x amount of items into a folder.The asp page automatically creates a link to each item in the folder.

View Replies View RelatedHaving a problem getting my asp url to work. Im trying to pass a var and some of them have the & in them. This is breaking my url since it looks for another var with the &. If i put the %26 instead of the & manually it works fine. How do I get that to encode that on the link ?
I know the problem is the data that is in the heading field has & in them. I can not fix that part. Is there a way to force the & in the url to go to %26 ? Code:
I would like to build a dynamic link based upon a value returned from a db
There is data in the db because objRS("Description") returns a value.
something like
Code:
if objRS.EOF then
%>
<a href="/somepage.asp?id="<% objRS("Id") %> "><%response.write(objRS("Description"))%></a>

To secure files on a site with authentication we have put the
attachments in a folder outside the IIS web site like this:
D:Documents<ItemID>filename.doc
where ItemID is a number which we use to check permissions inside our
application.
In order to download the file from the site we have made a binary
reader component (we could probably use SAFileUp or something instead,
but this works) to send the file through an ASP-file:
http://mysite/Docs/ShowDoc.asp?ID=<ItemID>
This works well.
So to my problem:
If I right click the link to save the file on my local computer (Save
target as), it will save the file properly, but the filename in the
Save As-dialog is ShowDoc.asp. I want it to be filename.doc instead.
Is it possible?
I've heard that on a Apache web server you can write the link like
this:
http://mysite/something/filename.doc?ID=<ItemID>
but then the server knows that it's
http://mysite/Docs/ShowDoc.asp?ID=<ItemID> it should load. If this is
possible in IIS, the Save As-problem will be solved.
I am using this code
<table border="1">
<%
Do While Not rstSimple.EOF
%>
<tr>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("username").Value %></td>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("password").Value %></td>
<td><%= rstSimple.Fields("email").Value %></td>
</tr>
<%
rstSimple.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</table>

I have the following link:
<A HREF=""Schedule.asp?JobNumber=" & RS("JobNumber") & "&PONumber=" &

follows:
<script>
function popup() {

,"top=40,left=40,width=200,height=100" ) ;

I have a database of literature and I've created a search page that pulls up the records matching the search criteria. However, I'd like to create a link to the article in pdf format, if it exists. I have a field in the database that contains the file name (and path), but not all records have a corresponding pdf file.
Code:
<td><a href="<%=(rs.Fields.Item("Article").Value)%>"><%=(rs.Fields.Item("Title").Value)%></a></td>
How do I check whether there is a corresponding pdf file before displaying the title with a link?
I would like to have a link that when clicked, sends info to an ASP page to process, but does not submit the entire page. This way, the user will
click on a link and will not be taken to another page, but precessing will occur.
This is mainly for a 'Rating' Application.
Amazon.com does this and I want to know how they do it. Here is the link to the amazon page (you may need to be logged in)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...5480771-6490552.
(1)I posted this in general but didnt get anywhere. Then I recalled seeing something recently on the web on an ASP site but cannot recall where.
(2)I have a list of pdf files avaiable for the user to view. When they click the pdf link, the pdf file opens. How can I make the link be a 'save' link? ie, when they click the link, windows treats it as a file to 'save as' etc...
What I vaguely recall on the ASP site was: 'How to hide the path of a download file by using an ASP redirect page'. I was wondering if anyone knows this method, and if they do, would it solve my problem in (2)

If you have a webpage with frames, say a footer frame that contains links,
how can you get out of the frame if you click on a link in the footer. The
it works now, is if I click on a link, the page loads inside the small

clickon the link. Any clue?

I got a problem on how to link my page.
Example,
Firstly go to http://www.koolgift.com/index.asp,
Select Products button...
Choose "Apparels & Towels, Caps & Hats"...
then choose "5 & 7panel caps & winter caps"...
when you scroll down, you will see the Back link button..
when u click on it..it actually link you back to the previous page...
however i will like to link it back to the page where the
list of products under "Apparels & Towels, Caps & Hats" is...
this is my current coding for the Back link
<td width="766" valign="middle" align="right">
<a href="#" onClick=javascript:history.back(1)>
<p align="right"><font color="#FFFFFF">Back</font></a>
I want to make a button just like here (when posting new thread) to insert hyperlink into text.
For example when user is typing text into textarea I would like to have also a button that can enable users to post different links to other intenet pages.
And I would also like to have button that makes the text bold
(Actually those are buttons that appear on most forums when posting a new thread)
when you click on it to go to the off site the user name and password will be automaticly inserted to where the offsite is asking for the name and password.

Could anyone tell me what big corporations do for link management? For my site, whenever I want to change a URL, I don't want to because I know there are 10 pages with that link...
But, right now I'm doing a redesign and will be editing every page, so I thought I'd better find out if there's an efficient way to manage my links...
My first thought was to create a page which I include in every page, and this page has all the links for diff pages, like so:
[vbs]
' For Default.asp
lnkTitle = "view.asp?articleid=" & rsArt("articleid") & ""
' Then using like:
<a href="<%= lnkTitle %>">
[/vbs]
But, I'd like to know maybe of an easier or more efficient way... If anything is database related, I use mySQL on a Win 2000 machine.
What I want to do is place a link on my page, and when someone clicks the link a popup appears, and the page they are currently on goes to the next page. e.g
page1.asp contains the link. When a user clicks the link, they are taken to page2.asp. But a popup also appears when the user clicked the link.
What I'm looking for needs to run on Win NT, I prefer an ASP file since I am a bit familiar with that.
I want to have a sidebar links list at the end of the list I want a link that says "add link". When clicked it would bring up a pop up window where you would enter the url and title of the site you want to add.
You would enter the information and it would add the link to the bottom of the sidebar. I've found the script in perl but I wasn't able to get it flying on my site.
If you look at the following url, look on the left where all the links are, at the bottom I want to be able to have "add-a-link" at the bottom. The visitor would be able to put there own links at the bottom and a cookie would remember what they added and put it there when they returned... Code:
Anyone have a clue how can I protect files I'm offering to download? I mean that they will be able to be downloaded only from within my site and not if someone is puting the link to my files in another site/forum .... I can make password protected folders if it helps....anyone got a clue?
oh...and please dont tell me to use htaccess ... it's a windows server and anyway I can't do it...
