Wrapping Text In Hyperlink.


I have script pulling text from a databse which is just the name of a file, e.g: test and I have code which puts a hyperlink around it, for example: http://www.myserver/files/test.doc , so that when the user clicks on it the file opens up for them. How do I check that if the name of the file is a particular filename the address is different.

Basically 1: if filename = test1
address = http://www.myserver/files/test1.doc
2: if filename = EXTERNAL
address = http://www.myserver/EXTERNAL.doc

Here's my code so far:

<TD WIDTH=83 class="body"><P><A HREF="http://www.myserver/files/<% Response.Write RSEmps("fileName")%>.doc"><% Response.Write RSEmps("fileName") %></TD>

Wrapping Text
I 've built a site for a client using .asp and eveything is working fine
except I cannot figure out how to wrap text around an image. Everything is
pulled from the database using response.write. The code works correctly but
I just can't seem to figure out how to do it? I've been searching for weeks
about info on how to do this - to no avail

Wrapping Text On A Button
how to wrap text on a button.

Defeat Wrapping Text
I ran into a little problem with wrapping text and found 'a' solution. The problem was when I read in text from a DB table field to populate a HTML table. I found a line of text to wrap mysteriously after column 37 even when the field was defined with a max character count of 100.

I removed the <td> tag's 'width' attribute and this took care of the wrapping problem.
I hope this will help someone else.

Wrapping Text Around An Image
I 've built a site for a client using .asp and eveything is working fine except I cannot figure out how to wrap text around an image. Everything is pulled from the database so the code works correctly but I've been searching for weeks about info on how to do this -to no avail.

Wrapping Text Around Images Using Response.write
I cannot find any information on how to insert an image into a block of text
and have the text wrap around the image. All if the text and graphics in
the client's site are being pulled from the database using response.write.
When I write straight HTML, it is easy to place an image into a block of
text and align the image right or left, having the text wrap around the
image.

Wrapping List
I have long list of names that I would like to wrap across multiple columns (like a newspaper). Are there any suggestions on how to go about this?

Wrapping HTML Tables
I have a recordset containing many fields from one row of data populated by an SQL query.
If I return the entire recordset in one row with the column headings the table would scroll off the right of the screen.
What I want to be able to do is to create several tables, one below the other of five columns each to display the data.
This is fine if I am returning just data, but I want the field.Name as well as the data - which is causing me problems.

Wrapping Variables In Speech Marks
I am working on a date function, which takes a YYYY-MM-DD input and splits it into dd,mm,yyyy format. e.g:

string1 = "2006-10-20"

Function stripDate(str)
str_len = len(str)
if str_len = 10 then
str = replace(str, "-","")
str_yr = left(str,4)
str2 = right(str,4)
str_mo = left(str2,2)
str_dy = right(str2,2)
stripDate = str_dy & "," & str_mo & "," & str_yr
else
Exit Function
end if
End Function

test = stripDate(string1)
sample output: 20,10,2006

I then want to pass the sample output into another function, but in order to do that, the date variables must be split with speech marks as follows:

"20","10","2006"

but I can't work out how to include that in the stripDate function so that it wraps the variables in speech marks. Whenever I try to include the speech marks the code returns the usual error about unterminated string constants e.g. if I replace the final line of the above function with this:

Hyperlink
i have this

Response.Write Replace(Rs("Event_Details") & " ", vbCrLf, "<BR>") & vbCrLf

coming from access db.
how can i get that to make a hyperlink clickable as well??


Hyperlink
the way a field is currently displayed:

Currently the ASP code inside my page is simply:

<%=rs.Fields("Notes")%>

This is fine for displaying the text, but the text contains links which are
currently just being displayed as text. I'd like them to display as
hyperlinks that will open in new windows when clicked upon. so basically I
need some ASP code to detect text starting with http:// or www.etc and
automatically make them into hyperlinks.

Hyperlink
I've never understood how this works so hopefully someone can shed some light on this. If I wanted to create a hyperlink that would initiate a pop up "Save As" box, would I use JS? And secondly, doesnt anyone have any idea how this would be done. I didnt have any luck finding the answer to this when I googled it. I found one example of how someone was trying a similar technique but wasn't quite the same. The reason for this is Im making a simple webpage so some elderly people that arent computer savy can download some WMA and WAV files from my server. I dont want to explain they have to right click on the link.

Hyperlink
I have a field in my access DB, that is a hyperlink to an IP address.When I display that field on my site using ASP, the link doesn't come across.

This is displayed
162.136.133.36#http://162.136.133.36#

The code to display the field is below
response.write "<TD WIDTH=200>" & vbcrlf
response.write(rs("IP_Address"))
response.write "</TD>" & vbcrlf

Is there a workaround? I have also tried to make the field a text field
with HTTP:// in front of the rs("IP_Address") and that doesn't work either.

Access Hyperlink
I have an Access 2003 database with 1 table that has 2 fields - Date and Description. Both are plain text. This is the basis for a basic calendar displayed as a table using ASP. So far as plain text it works perfectly.

Now I want to generate bolding and hyperlinks on the text in the Description field. Not all fields contain text in the same format, and not all need bold or hyperlinks.

Example: One record will be "Meeting at the Boarding Barn at 1:00" where I want "Boarding Barn" to be a hyperlink. Next record will be "Competition in Milwaukee" where "Competiton" should be bolded, and "Milwaukee" will be the hyperlink. Third record will be "Annual Picnic" and will not have any bold or hyperlink.

I put the HTML tags in the text in the database, but they are ignored. What is the right way to do this?

Value From Listbox In Hyperlink
Rather than doing this:

<A HREF="editpatient.asp?ID=1>View</A>

Can i do something like this instead? - and make it work

<A href="EDITPATIENT.asp?ID=" & LISTBOXPATIENT & ">View</A>

where LISTBOXPATIENT refers to a database populated listbox

The idea being that when the user is completing a form they can look up additional data on a patient by clicking the hyperlink next to the listbox.

Hyperlink Sub Folders
I am writing an intranet and want to be able to hyperlink to all files
within a specific folder AND it's subfolders. Whilst I can hyperlink to the
files in the specified folder AND I can also iterate through the subfolders
and list them, for some reason I cannot hyperlink to the sub folders. I am
writing this software at home using a computer that has IIS and Windows 98
and am accessing this as my server from another computer on my network.

My Home Page on the Server is http://maxitek (the name of my Windows98
Computer) and when I look at the value of the variable "PathSpec" - it
becomes C:Inetpubwwwroot which when I try to create links to the sub
folder it is probably here where the problem is. The files themselves link,
but not with their full subfolder names, i.e., for a file called
"C:Inetpubwwwrootmytestmytest2mytest.txt" I am getting a link that just
looks like this Code:

Hyperlink Fields
I have an asp calendar. Nothing complicated really. People enter the data through a form... it writes to a database... and when you click a day it retrieves from the database. The problem is one of the fields is a hyperlink to more information about the event on another website. The text of the link shows but it doesn't actually link.

I have the field in the database set up as hyperlink and not text and I'm pretty sure that the asp code I should be using starts out Response.Write.... I just don't know what to do next... I've tried everything imaginable... below is what I thought it should be but this didn't work.

Response.Write "<a href="Rs("Web_Link")">"

I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious.

HTTP GET Command Via A Hyperlink?
I've got a domain, someDomain.com that I work with in house. There is another domain otherDomain.com that we've contracted to do some work for us.

So, our users log into our web site and a select group of our users get a link to this other site (otherDomain.com) do to some stuff.

I've been requested to have this link on our site do an
"HTTP Get command as a client side redirect (HTTP status-code 3xx, usually 307)", to their site. I'm supposed to pass them a userid and a session 'key'.

How can i do that type of HTTP request with a hyperlink? Doesn't that need to be in a <form></form> with action=GET?

Or...is a simple link like <a href="www.otherDomain.com/somePage.html?User=theUser&Session=theSession">The Link</a> already doing an HTTP Get command? Or yet again...does this do that type of request??: Response.Redirect "www.otherDomain.com/somePage.html?User=theUser&Session=theSession"

Hyperlink With A Response.write
i cant seem to remember how to add a hyperlink in a response.write object.

Basicaly i am doing an if then statement to customize my shopping cart. and would like to add a hyperlink this does not seem to work, am wondering what is happening or if i could add it to the response.write object:

<span style="font-weight: 400">
<font size="2">
<a href="../../index.asp">
<%elseif aParameters(0) = 2 then response.Write("order here")
else%>
</a></font>
</span>

or do i add it as

response.Write<a href="../../index.asp">
("order here")
<a/>

I know this second code is wrong, but am wondering how to get this done.

Activating Sub Routine From Hyperlink
I am still playing with ASP and was wondering how to do this (it seemed
simple). What I want is to have a hyperlink that when it's clicked on, will
run a sub routine, instead of opening a web page... Right now I have;

Sub CreateLinks()
Response.Write "<br><br>"
Response.Write "<a href='OpenAllOrders()'>1. All Orders</a><br>"
Response.Write "<a href='OpenCustOrders()'>2. Customer Orders</a><br>"
Response.Write "<a href='OpenInvoices.asp'>3. Open Invoices</a><br>"
End Sub

Sub OpenAllOrders()
Response.Redirect "OpenOrders.asp?Customer=0"
End Sub

Sub OpenCustOrders()
Response.Redirect "OpenOrders.asp?Customer=1"
End Sub

The issue, is that clicking on the link, tries to open a web page file of
'openallorders()', instead of running the sub routine. Obviously I am
missing something simple... Can anyone point me in the correct direction
(think it has something to do with href... maybe it should be hsub or
something).

Variable In Writing Hyperlink Url

Word Security When Opened From Asp Hyperlink
I have a document saved to a public network server. The public directory
grants change access to all users on the network. To keep my Word doc
protected I am using the Security feature "File Sharing Options" in Word to
attach a password to the document. This works as expected when users open the
file with Windows Explorer.

I also have an ASP web page that has a link to my file on the public drive.
When I click this link, the Word document loads without asking me for a
password and is not read-only. (Note the link in formatted with an href
attribute like this: file://servername/share/filename.doc)

Am I mssing something? Shouldn't the Word security work even if the file is
accessed through a hyperlink?
