Option On A Page


I want to know if you can write a print this page option to a page. I want to write this function in asp or vbscript. I know you can do this in javascript but I don't want tot use this. I also know there is a print fuinction in the browser this is also not what I'm looking for.

I want a piece of tekst which say something like "print this page" When you click on it a asp or vbscript will print the page to your own printer.

I need to know if this is possible and what the code is.

easy way for users to print this maps and they do not have to go through

Option Explicit Cause Page To Stop Why
I'm trying to set up a Windows 2003 server using ASP, and I am find ASP
pages just STOP as if I had called Response.End whenever an undeclared
variable is found. If I turn off Option Explicit, it doesn't happen.
Clearly I can Dim the variable to solve the problem (I mention this in case
some smartaleck decided to propose it as the solution), but it is making
finding undeclared variables very hard! Anyone have any idea what I've
done wrong in my configuration?

Add To The Option Box For Selection Without Reloading The Page.
I am trying to add record to the database (Ms Access) from a ASP page, which is the easy part. Now I am faced with a simple but hard to me problem. I've a select menu where user can pick multiple value, but when there's a option is not there I was user to be able enter a new option vale and select it.

right now I am redirecting them to a page where by they can add but in process I am lossing the information they entred before hand in other fields.

what I like to do is: from the page where user enter info be able to put a pop-up window then ask them for info and copy the info and add to the option box for selection without reloading the page. is this possible?

How To Post A Page Automatically When An Option Is Chosen From A Drop Down List
what I want to do is - the user is presented with a form with a drop down box at the top with two options - Yes or No, If No is selected then the form stays as is and the user can complete the other text boxes.

However, if the user selects yes I want the page to refresh with a different set of input boxes.

How To Make A Hierarchial Tree Of Option Buttons Expand Without Refreshing Asp Page?
I have a list of broad categories. For example:

Pacific
Central
Eastern

Each of them are preceded by an option button. After the text, there is a plus sign. (this means that I can click on the + sign and then drill down further). For instance:

Pacific
California
Nevada
Oregon
Central
Eastern

Similarly, if I want I can drill down California, if I want to.

Now my question is:

How can I drill down each of them without refreshing the page ? Every time I click on the + sign, the whole page refreshes and then I have to scroll down to see the break down list of the hierarchial tree.

Please suggest ways of doing this dynamically. How can I expand my hierarchial list without having to lose the focus on my hierarchial option tree?

OPTION Value
Is there a way I can iterate an option value using ASP so I can pass in multiple values on submit to the Federated item? Here's an example of pseudocode of what I'm trying to do:

<SELECT name="grpNm" style="LEFT: 8px; WIDTH: 213px; TOP: 1px">
<OPTION value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">Federated
</OPTION>
</SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Option Value Tag
Below is an extract from a form that i am writing. I need the user to be able to have a drop down menu of languages. How do I use the 'option value' command in ASP like you can do in HTML.If someone could amend my code to give me a couple of language options so I can get an idea of how it is down.

<tr id="r_Lang">
<td class="ewTableHeader"><span>Language<span class='ewmsg'>&nbsp;*</span></span></td>
<td class="ewTableAltRow"><span id="cb_x_Lang">
<input type="text" name="x_Lang" id="x_Lang" size="30" maxlength="25" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_Lang&"") %>">
</span></td>
</tr>

Option Selected?
I have a form named: 'formhandheld' and a select with the name: 'pricing_option'.

I'm trying to make the select <option> thats based on 'axDD3current' selected.

what's the code ? Probably more of a JavaScript question than ASP

document.formhandheld.pricing_option.options[<%=axDD3current%>].selected;
the above doesn't work

ASP Dropdown Option Value
Here is my page:

<form name=myForm>
<select onChange="myForm.forename.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="Arnold">Pam
<option value="Mokoena">Joe
<option value="Seth">Pat
</select>

<input type=text name=forename disabled>
</form>

when inserting on the database,the value of the dropdown option is the same as the value of the textbox which is wrong.they must not have the same values example
when Pan is selected,then the value inserted to the database must be "pam" not Arnold.

Passing 2 IDs Through An Option To Db
I need to pass an Cat_ID and Category from an option field on a form, but can't figure it out. the code on my form:

<select name="Cat" >
<% Do Until rscat.EOF %>
<option value="<% response.write rscat("Category") %>">
<% response.write rscat("Category") %>
</option>
<%
rscat.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</select>

In the database, I have two fields which need to be filled in. The Category field and the Cat_ID field. How do I assign two values to the one field to pass this along?

Option Select
i have a list of provinces in an option select right, so when i click one province i want it to chance the header of my page according to the provinces, and i have no idea on how to do that.

Select/Option
I have loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.

Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.

Domain Option
Are there any articles / resources out there about the point of setting the domain when you set cookies? I have been able to find nothing and fail to see the point in setting a domain. As cookies can only be accessed by the domain that set them, what is the point in setting a domain? if the domain is set for say .example.com, can all subdomains read it?

Option Explicit
I am using option explicit ASP and in one of my pages if I dim any variable (or so it seems), it cries "name redefined". If I take out the variable, it cries "variable undefined". I had about 10 variables defined and it told me each one was being redefined until I took them all out, and then it told me that it didn't know what my variables were! Sheesh! They are not reserved words (they were CommandArray, linksx, etc). Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Option Explicit
Using Option Explicit necessitates that any variable used has to be
declared (Dimmed) explicitly but it DOESN'T necessitate that the
variable HAS TO BE DECLARED BEFORE the variable is used. For e.g. the
code below, which first uses the variable "str" & then declares it,
works fine:

===============================
<% Option Explicit %>
<%
str="Hello World"
Response.Write(str)
Dim str
%>
===============================

Why so? If I am not mistaken, usually it's the other way round with
other languages where variables have to be declared before they are
used.

Select/Option
i just want to ask on how will i load the other version of file written in another language (e.g Japanese)upon selecting that particular language from the option box. Like for instance the options are English, Arabic, Japanese and so on...then upon choosing the Arabic language, the page that contains an Arabic language (layout and data)will be displayed.

Option Value Not Coming In Form
I have seen a code to populate a list box from a data base table. Earlier I gave my own values using HTML coding like :

<Option Value="P-159">P-159</Select>. It was working fine but not after using code to build a list box, it is not coming in form value as input and next redirecting page retutns with error:

two codes pages are attached : profile page and search page. Profile page sends input to search page and search pages returns the output.

Print Option Issue
Based on the layout selected by the user in the search page, im displaying the search result!! Now, i have to give him a option for "print"!! What code should i put in, so that he will have an Printer Friendly option and that prints the search output in the diplayed format!

SO_RCVBUF WinSock Option
The two options I am interested in modifying are:

Const SO_RCVBUF = &H1002& ' Receive buffer size.
Const TCP_NODELAY = &H1& ' Turn off Nagel Algorithm.

Again, I am just not sure what code should be used in ASP to accomplish
this.

Forcing Option Select?
I am trying to force the last option selected in a drop down!, I basically have a page with a drop down box in which sends to itselfs when selected, the idea is
the selected value updates a postage amount depending on the country selected from the dropdown.

However when it returns to the page it defaults back to 'select country' and I would really like it to be able to display the option selected as this is part of the address form.

the relevant country is correct, and i am putting that into a request.querystring so this variable (destination) is available to test/compare against and maybe force select this way, but i just don;t know how to write the asp/html to make the select value go to either this variable or the last one selected. Code:

Getting Text From Option Boxes
ok i need to get the text from an option box? i know you can do it with java script but it would make my life a lot easier if you can get it using asp. don't know if there is a method out there or what. any ideas?

Problem With Search For 2 Option...
I have 2 option for search, first, user must select both category and project and second, user must select project only. It means, i have 3 combobox. I've created search.asp and contact.asp (to display search result).

I've tested with only one option and it works. But when i include both option, it's not working. Code:

Code For Sign Out Option
I want to make sign out option in my website as like yahoo and hotmail.

Command.Timeout Option
I am using ADO to connect to a database to get some data that I then display
on my web page.

I build the entire script in ASP code the finally use response.write to get
the web page itself

When I create the connection object
set objConn = Server.Create.Object("Server.Command)
objConn.Timeout = 90

Even thought I set the time out to 90 seconds the time out occurs in 30
seconds. And this is pain as I have some large queries returning some 100K
records.

Is there any other way of increasing the timeout Is it a Registry setting on IIS?

Using Onchange With Option Lists
I am trying to take actions using onchange with an option list without success.

I am not able to fully populate the list without a bad bad behavior (the list is not getting populated)

What I am looking for, is being able to call a sub procedure each time a new item in the list is selected (of course after it has been populated)

Below some of the code: ....

Showing Default Option
How do I display 'Please Select' as the default value my code is below.Code:

<option selected>Please select</option>
<%SQLStmt = "SELECT magcode FROM Magazine ORDER BY Magcode"
Set rsDistMags = Connection.Execute(SQLStmt)
Do WHILE NOT rsDistMags.EOF%>
<option value="<%=Trim(rsDistMags("magcode"))%>"<%If Request("magcode") = Trim(rsDistMags("magcode")) Then Response.Write " Selected" End If%>><%=Trim(rsDistMags("magcode"))%></option>
<%rsDistMags.MoveNext
Loop%>
</select>

Multiple Format Option
Reading through the CDO email articles on ASPFAQ. I see .textBody and .htmlBody as properties, was wondering if you can add BOTH to an email so that if a user has HTML enabled (lets say in Outlook) they get the HTML version, and if they dont, then it'll use the plain text version?

If this is the case please let me know as I need to finish this code this evening if possible and it would save me some testing.

Select Box Option Values
I am creating an application in ASP (old school ASP not .NET) and VBSCRIPT connecting to a SQL Server 2000 back end. There is a form on my webpage that has a select box in which <option> tags allow users choose a document type.

Once the document type is determined it is sent off as a parameter in a stored procedure on the databse. The recordset returned holds the values that are required to go in another set of options boxes.

(the next set of option box values depend on the query results). I know it sounds easy...I mean I know how to do it if it where on 2 seperate pages (thats easy) where it passes on the info...but this is for ONE asp page.

Select Name With Option Function
Is there a possibilty to use the function <SELECT NAME="user"><OPTION>user 1</OPTION></SELECT>
from a database. I want to get the data out from a table and store the data from that column in a dropdown box. What's the way to do this ?

Problem Selecting An Option
I have got a form with a set of options like this:

<select name="Target">
<option value="a@somewhere.com"> A.Name</option>
<option value="b@somewhere.com"> B.Name</option>
<option value="c@somewhere.com"> C.Name</option>
<option value="d@somewhere.com"> D.Name</option>
</select>

I'm using this at the moment to get the vlaue:

Email = Request.form("Target")

I would like to have another variable ("Name") which could store the actual name,rather than the e-mail address.So,while "Email" could store "a@somewhere.com", "Name" would store "A.Name".

Request.Form Select Option
I am trying to retrieve option values using Request.Form as you do for textboxes! The textboxes work fine... but I can't get it done for select options.

Displaying Results From A Drop Down Option
I am still trying to get my feet wet with ASP, VBScript, and MS SQL here and I am trying to create a very useful page where I can eaisly view my SQL tables and the columns within those tables.

I have two SQL scripts that work well, one to display the tables within my database and one that shows me the column names in that table.

I created a form, added a drop down selection and coded it so the table names appear in the drop down, then added a "Submit" button.

What I am trying to do is get the page to display the column names below based on the table name I select from the drop down list.

ISSUE #1: I cannot seem to get the table name when chosen from the drop down to pass it's value to the second query so it can display the results.

ISSUE #2: How do I display these results from the chosen table name based on the column script below? Code:

Option Explicit Workaround For Includes
I have a website with many pages where some pages use option explicit in the pages and some do not. I am trying to add a footer include file to be added to the end of every page... and the include footer is going to have some ASP code that checks a table in our database based on whether or not it finds a value in a page variable in the page that called the include footer file.

in some cases... there will be no varible on the calling page... in those cases the footer has code that will goto the database and update somthing there. In other cases the varibles will be hard coded defined with values.

My problem is that the include file (the footer file) needs to check for those varibles... and I have to make sure I DIM the varible before checking it... but if it was previsously dimed in the main page i will get a redim error... and on the pages where there is an option explicit call... I can dim the varible name in the include. Code:

Option To Download Or Open Image
I am looking for a script (ASP, VB, Javascript) that give user an option to download or open image. So if someone come to a web page and click on Download button, box will pop up and ask user to Save or open the image. It is like when someone download an attachment in Yahoo.

Setting A Default Option For A Comb Box
I need to set a default option
for a combo box that is not the first item in that combo box. Below
is an example. I can put the code below into a simple HTML file and
it works fine. It does NOT work in a ASP 3.0 app. I have tried two
seperate ASP apps as an example and NEITHER work. Code:

Option Explicit And Include Files
I had an asp page with lots of functions and procedures plus the actual transitional code for the page itself. This worked perfectly but now that I've finished the page and put all the functions and sub routines in an include file I have a problem. Code:

OWA Change Password Option Truncates
We have a primary OWA (5.5) server and a secondary OWA
server. The primary OWA server's change password option
truncates first letter of the username when prompted. The
secondary OWA server does not even display the username in
the field upon password changing. I have found some
documentation pointing to the aexp2b.htr file however
nothing is available to fix this problem.

Show DB Values When Selecting An <option>
I have a form where the user selects their EmployeeID from a DB populated dropdown list. Then they fill out some other information and submit the form. I would like to make it possible that when the user selects their EID, other DB information tied to that EID is displayed on that page (Name, Phone #, etc), so that when the EID is selected, the employee can see their name and info, before the form is submitted.

Is it possible for JS/DHTML to show which value is selected (without posting the form) and then use that variable to call the additional information from my DB using SQL? I would probably then show that value using <div> or something.

Sorry, I am familiar with ASP/VBScript & SQL, but I don't know a ton about Javascript. And I don't think what I want to do is possible with only ASP, unless I post my form to another page, and then that page post the final submission for the form... I'd rather keep everything on one page, then submit the form.

Select Multiple Option Not Working
I have a form search page with many field options but this one field I would like to select multiple options.

I have this on the search screen for my multiple field where I pull the list of options from my database: Code:

Posting A Value For A Field In Select Option
I have an ASP admin script where I'm adding records, and I have a
category that already has set name values hard-coded into a selct option
pulldown, but if the user wants to create a new category and not use the
select pulldown, the value will end up being " , newvalue" when posting
from this sequence of pulldown and input text box:

<select name="CategoryName">
<option selected></option>
<option value="first">first category</option>
<option value="second">second category</option>
</select>
<br>
New Category<br>
<input name="CategoryName" type="text" size="26"
maxlength="255">

What is the best way of not having that extra preceeding comma appear as
the value if the user chooses to add a brand new category?

Insert Selected Drop Down Option
I have page 1, that has a drop down box with codes. The user could either select a code or click a link that opens a page with a drop down consisting of descriptions.this is what I am trying to do.When user selects an option in page 2 drop down, the page 2 should be closed and the selected value should be inserted in page 1 drop down. How could I do this in asp?

Option Selected In Drop Down List
What is the way to make an option in a drop down box selected if dependant upon a variable.eg have list of states and once a customer has been selected the state reflects the customers state in say an edit customer form.

Ckeckbox/option Button Selection
I have got a website that you can request a file/download from but need to protect it, in as must as offer then either to send it to them via email or post and these details are collected @ registration time via a "cookie" .

But I thought a checkbox/option button would be good for the selection of email or post but I just don't know how to post which they have selected.
