Line Breaks


Im developing a site for an organisation im a member of. Im trying to make updating the site a simple as possible for the organistions staff, some of which are not the computer literate. So i have made a kind of template site where the content of all the pages held in a access db. I have then made an admin backend where organisation staff can login and update the contents of pages simply by editing text in a text box and clicking the update button.

However, i've come across a problem. When users leave a line break in the text box the output page doesnt display the gap. I am using a simple response write to display the contents of the attribute on the page. Currently the only way im managing to get line breaks is to enter a '<br>' into the text box on the admin page.

How could i make it so when a line is left blank on the text box the database records this and displays it on the output page?

Storing Line Breaks
I'm storing information in a database that will later be displayed on the website and I have a questions about line breaks. My users will type in paragraphs into the text area. Then that information will be saved in an Access Database. Later it will be displayed on the website.

The only problem is that the line breaks that the user makes aren't stored in the DB, so when the information is displayed on the website it doesn't have that formatting (line breaks). I don't want to have to tell the user to type in <br> after each paragraph. What can I do to keep that formatting?

Losing Line Breaks When Writing To MySQL Db
i have a MySQL database and i am using ASP

for one of my forms, i have a textarea form element that is...substantially large (500x300px) users are instructed to hit enter/return on their keyboard to separate paragraphs but i have encountered a problem.

in the textarea, everything is wonderful. line breaks are clearly seen...its awesome. when i submit the form and when it writes to the database (the field is set as 'text'), everything is crammed together...there is just one space between where one paragraph ends and another begins.

has anyone encountered this problem before? does anyone know a solution?

Read Cell Data Line By Line From Excel
I had created a macro to read data from an excel sheet and write the values to a text file. I had used "ActiveSheet.Range("GB" & k).Value" command to read the values from the excel.some cells in the excel sheet is having two lines value and four lines data, the text file is generating that value in a single line. (Ex. the cell value in address column is in four lines and should display in four lines in the text file generated from the macro)

Can i do something in the excel sheet or in vb script to read the address value line by line and write line by line in text file?

Paragraph Breaks In Forms
I am building a small CMS for my son's school. Ideally I want to build the system for them and hand it over so that all updates can be done through web-based forms.

So far so good. However I'm having a problem with fields designed to take multi-paragraph stories or articles. I'm using a text area field on the form which saves the data in a memo field in the database. Teachers would typically cut and paste stories from word documents into the text area field.

However when the data is loaded back into the website from the database all the carriage returns have been removed and the story consists of one long paragraph.

Calculating Page Breaks
I am trying to modify an existing ASP application that produces forms with several 'blocks' of text that are contained within table cells and which have their own HTML id's.

These blocks must not be split over two pages. Is there a straightforward way of calculating the size of each block/table cell so that the blocks are not split and the form prints on the minimum number of pages? This is an intranet application, so we have a certain amount of control over browser settings, so margin settings etc are not a problem.

Page Breaks When Printing
We have a page that reads records from a database and displays them. Basically name/address/city/state/zip/county/phone. These records are between 4-6 lines a piece (there are other variables involved).

When printing these records via i.e. we currently have a process where we determine how many records have been written and eventually put a table with .break { page-break-after: always } style applied to it. The problem is, sometimes a page will hold 14 records, sometimes 15, sometimes 16. Is there a better approach to this so that records don't get cut off and it maximizes the number of records that display on each page?

Installing IE7 Breaks ASP Code
I have used this type of VBSCRIPT code on an ASP page for several years to launch a program on a server from an ASP page:

Dim sh
set sh = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sh.Run("any-program.exe", 0 , TRUE)

The code breaks when I installed Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) on a Windows 2003 Server. The error is "permission denied". The error goes away when I uninstall IE7. Have you run into this problem? Do you have a solution that is better than uninstalling IE7?

Page Breaks With ASP / HTML
Here is my problem - I have an ASP page the is generating a file with HTML that is being opened with WORD.

I am not sure how to handle when to put the breaks in for the report that is being created.

Page QueryString Breaks When No Id Is Available In The Database.
Dim id
If (id = "") then
id = Request.QueryString("id")
End If
If (id = "") then
id = 1
End If

I use a QueryString request function, so when an id is called, that page loads into the current one. This is perfect, however if say the user directly types a link into the url, like index.asp?id=999, then basically the code is flawed, it breaks up.

Secondly if say a page has been erased from the database, and the link still is available, the code is equally flawed, so it would be good to have a page in my id, say id=50 that displays a page with data from the database, explaining that the page you are trying to reach did not exist or no longer exists, because so far, I get a page error:

ADODB.Field (0x800A0BCD)
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
/mjhw/functions/functions2.asp, line 21

But how can I over come this.

Dynamic Link Breaks When Database Gets Too Large
I have an asp page that returns a table from my database. Only about 6 columns from the table are shown on this page. I have the ID column set up as a dynamic link to a 'details' page, so a user can view the rest of the record data.

My database has been growing rapidly, and now when the page is run i get the error "page cannot be displayed".

I believe this is due to how large my database table is because if i delete records the page works fine, as it did when the system was first running. Right now there are 4600 rows in the database and will be growing.

How do I fix this problem, I cannot get rid of any records.

Oh yea, and if i delete the line of code that contains the link, the page works fine and shows the entire table.

Here is the code for the link:
<A HREF="details.asp?<%= "JOB_NO=" & rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value %>"><%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value)%></A>

I have this textarea and I inputted this;

Quote: asp
xml
xhtml

If I update/save this to a database(msaccess) and view this in a browser it gives me a one line record like;

Quote: asp xml xhtml

but I dont want to put every end of the line a <br> tag for me not to view a one line record, how do I do this?

New Line To Br
PHP has a function called nl2br() which inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string. Is there an ASP equivalent to this?

New Line
I've managed to code a function that will straightly replace some given character to another, for security of my pages. For example, I can convert (") to " and (') to ´ ..etc in the form(text field) that allow user to post some data to be stored in the db. But then I don't want the user to write it in HTML tag, and I want that when user press [Enter] on the keyboard, then I can redisplay the message in the way that the user really type in (new line). What I'm thinking is if I can replace the [ENTER] pressing to <br> to be stored in my db. But I didn't found the way I can do that.
/n such as in c++ didn't solve. Anybody knows? I use ASP VBscripts/
Does my question clear?

Response.Expires = 0

Dim ErrorContent

Line Break
1. I have a form that insterts data in a database
2. I show this information in a pop-up page
3. When the user enter too much content it makes all the
pop-up too widther and it breaks the design.

I want determinate a specific number of caracters and then
do a line break.

I guess I need something like this:

replace(sql.field,char(10),'<br>')

in the way I show my content
like this:

<%=rs.fields("nombre").value%>

How can I do it?

Line Break In SQL Value
We've built a page that allows users to enter items that will ultimately
become a list. One particular user enters them into the textarea on the
page and for some reason always puts a hard return into the textarea before
she submits. This goes into SQL as a line break and it's screwing up how
the page renders.

How do I find this via code so that I can replace it? I've tried looking
for chr(13) + chr(10) and vbCr and vbCrLf and replacing them with "" but it
doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?

ASP Line Break
if x=1 then response.write("A Man walks into a bar. Ow!")

"A Man walks into a bar.
Ow!"

One-line Autonumber
A portion of the asp for our site looks like this: Code:

insert = "INSERT INTO Students VALUES ( '" & _
(????)
CStr ( Request ("UserName") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Password") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Email") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Country") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("DOB") ) & "','" & _
Date() & "@" & Time() & "','" & _
Date() & "' )"

It just inserts a new record into the db. What we did was add an autonumber field to the db, but now it won't update.

We know why - because it needs a value for every category in the db - but we don't know how to code it so it will update the db correctly. So, if anyone could help me with the (????) line in the coding so it will correctly update, that would be perfect!

Out Of Memory At Line 30
Had developed a webpage to refresh automatically from one ASP page to another, with the feature of displaying local data that is actively poll & inserted from other remote database servers. The local server is using IIS & Microsoft SQL 2000. I have the problem of "Out of Memory at line 30" after the ASP page has ran for 13 hours, at client machines that is connecting to the server hosting the ASP. However by closing the Internet Explorer and re-open the ASP page, the problem is temporary resolved until another 13 hours later. I think i've had the server objects set to nothing, and had put all queries into sub. I couldn't think of other solution for the problem...

Is duplication of sub affecting the performance? Any setting to be done on server, e.g. IIS / SQL? I've attached the ASP file.

New Line Replace
On my page,I have a text box,in which a user can enter text to submit to a MySQL database.For example, a user types:

Quote:
This is text line 1

This is text line 2

What I want to happen is before it is sent to the database, convert these spaces in between the lines to <BR>'s, so it'll be:

Quote: This is text line 1<BR><BR>This is text line 2

If I don't do this, it'll appear (when I query the database) as:

Quote: This is text line 1This is text line 2

What code must I use to make this happen?
