ASP :: Reading Image Extended Info Such As Author Width Comments, Etc

Width And Height For An Image
I have an ASP page which displays different images according to the querystring and the images are all of different sizes. However, in some browsers the image overlaps with the text next to it occasionally.

I guess by specifying the "width" and "height" of the image in the HTML should solve the problem. However, I do not want to store the width and height of each image in the database. (There are too many of them!) Is there any function I can use in my ASP page to obtain the width and height of an image?

Detecting The Width And Height Of An Image
I know there must be a JavaScript way, but is there a VBScript way? I asked here, because if there's a javascript way I need to also use VB with it...since I want to trim an image if it's over a certain size...

For example:

Picture from database: width = ? height = ?

Detect image size as width = 300 height = 250

Trim image down to 200 x 150

Example 2:

Image width = 300 but height is OK, at 150

Trim width to 200 ....

Check Image Height And Width
I have a page where users can upload images, but sometimes the images are too small. How can get the height and width (in pixels) for an image? I've seen it done in PHP but never in ASP.

Check Image Size (width)
How can I use ASP to check the size of the images used in my solution?

This is what I need to do:

If the width of an image is more than 256px, I want to set the image width to 256px. Images that is smaller (ex: 100px width) shall not be adjusted.

Read The Width And Height Of An Image
Working in asp (not asp.net) I need to read the width and height of an image before they are displayed on the page.

I have a folder full of images that are dynamically put on a page and I need to read if they are landscape or protrait.

Limit Image Width Proportionally
Is there Javascript that you can run where it limits the width of an image. For example:

All images that are under 400px wide will display at their native size but if an image exceeds 400px wide it will get scaled proportionly to 400 px wide and however many pxs high (to maintain proportion).

sidenote: images will be populated on page from a database.

How Can I Find The Height/width Of An Image?
I have a popup where I scale the image to a smaller size than original. Iused to set the img tag to width="50%". This no longer works in the current edition of IE on MS. On Mac IE it still does. Go figure.

So... I now need to set the width to a fixed value. I also need to adjust the popup to the value of the image height + some value to allow for text etc.

The quandry? How can I get the height and width of an image into a variable for use on the calling asp page.

Search By Author?
go here to see
user: test
pass: test

as you see when you login, there is a drop down list of all the people who has posted a pic, I would only like to show their name once and when selected for it to result in only showing images by that poster!

Extended Character Set - CDONTS
I have developed an online ordering system, all seems to work fine, apart from pound signs get replaced by question marks. After some research, I have found that this is due to question mark being in the extended asccii character set, and have been advised to use UNICODE or HTML.

HTML is not an option (We currently use plain text), as we have some clients that use non HTML capable email software (Yes, they're still about!). So...what to do? For now, I have appended GBP to the end of any price/cost values, but I'd really like to see the pound sign in the emails if possible.

Comments Box
I have quite a large website that I am trying to add a new feature to. Every once in a while an article will be posted that I would like people to be able to comment on. In this way - it is sort of like a blog - except I don't need any other features. However, I do need an admin page just to be able to delete any comments if needed.

I have done some searching for some code examples but I just get a lot of full licensed blog apps. If anyone knows of any sample code - or better yet, tutorials that I could follow, that would be greatly appreciated.

Comments In Page
I want to know what's the convenient way to comment out a block in ASP pages? I read a book, and I thought we can use /** */ to comment out the VBScript in ASP page, but it yields run time error.

All I know is to use ' but this is very slow if I want to comment out a block?

Includes And HTML Comments
The use of includes in ASP is good where code is re-used in multiple forms,etc. (doh, ... that's what they _are_ for ! ). If I have something like: Code:

Listbox Width
I have 6 list boxes and it may or may not have data from db to get fill in.
so what happens is whatever has data that comes to the size of the maximum length of the data in that list box and others comes as very small width as there are no data.
but what i want is all list boxes width should be of moderate size.

does anyone give a hint how to show above three fields without changing the width of combo box ?

Textarea - Setting Width

Page Redirect For Browser Width
Does anyone know of any ASP code that would redirect a page that has a small page width....such as a mobile phone, Blackberry, Sidekick, etc to another page designed for the width.

I have one with Java script but many of these devices don't handle Java too well.

Multi-column Combo Box, Change Width On Select
Has anybody ever seen or written code for ASP that would mimic Access'
multi-column combo box? Specifically, I have a drop down box that lists
about 100 five-digit codes. Each of these codes has a long text description
that explains what the code represents.

I'd like to be able to show the code plus description when the drop down
list is dropped down, but just the code when the list is not displayed, so
that I don't have to have a hugely long combo box taking up space. Code:

How To Show A Full Width Of A Picture But Only When It's Smaller Than 150 Pixels ?
I need to show two pictures in a table with two TDs

The pictures R dynamic and I don't want to enlarge the table...

How can I load the picture with IMG tag so that it's width will remain smaller than 150 pixels (or set it to 150 pixels if it's longer than 150...)

Must I check the picture file width or is there a faster workaround ?

Post Form Data To A Modal Dialog Window With Desired Height And Width
I want to post the form data (http://server/page1.asp) to a modal dialog
window (http://server/modaldialog.asp) with a desired height 200px by width
200px.

Here's my attempts and problems:

Attempt #1) In http://server/page1.asp, it has code <form
action="http://server/modaldialog.asp" method="post" target="_blank">

In http://server/modaldialog.asp, it has code <body onBlur = "self.focus()">

It can produce modal dialog window modaldialog.asp, but I want to set the
width and height of modaldialog.asp.

Attempt #2) var sReturn = window.showModalDialog("modaldialog.asp", params,
"dialogHeight:200px; dialogWidth:200px;");

This is the effect I want. But this is not posting the form data to
modaldialog.asp.

Any workarounds to my problems??

Display An Image From Access, Stored As Location Name Not Actual Image.
I have a client who has had a ASP site with an Access database for several years. It stores information for the used cars on his lot. I have stored text in the database that points to the location of the image for each record. Each record will have a thumb image that is supposed to display in a list of vehicles available then the user can select an item from this list and a new page displays with the information and the regular size image. So far everything has worked fine exept for the display of the images which are stored in a separate directory called veh-photos. All I get are image place holders. I am using Dreamweaver 2004 and and Access 2000 for the database.

Following is the code to list vehicles: ....

Open Image In 'Kodak Image Edit Control' With Web Browser
1.I want to show a image file of type '.tif' in the browser window; for that I'm writting as ASP code page.

2.This '.tif' type image can be shown better with 'Kodak Image Control'.

3.To have this 'Kodak Image Control' on my code page I just add it's ..ocx to tool box and then drag it from 'Toolbox' to the page.

4.Now after dropping this control to the code it's type is getting changed to 'object' instead of type 'ImgEdit'(and I think this is the
reason I don't get correct result).

5.On one button's 'Onclick' event I'm calling a javascript function with which I'm setting a 'Path'and'Display' property of a control.

6.And want to show a image at location -- '..MFTDRCMF919685173-62.tif' which get shown in new browser window but could not get shown in that particular control. That means the path is correct, then what is the problem?

For better understanding of problem I'm pasting a following code which I've tried up till now......

Displaying Alternate Image When Image Source Not Found
I am creating a dynamic ASP VBScript page, which gets data from an Access database.

In the database, there is a field which holds a URL to an image. I can get the image to display fine, but where there is no file that matches the URL (i.e. a missing image) I want to display an alternative, default image (e.g. one that says "Awaiting Image"). The field is never blank, but the image file may not exist for all records in the database.

I think what I am trying to get to is the following:

If file exists (using URL from database to get location of image file) thendisplay image using the url from the database as the image source
else
display default image - hardcoded in program
endif

I have had a go and come up with the attached but I get an error with my if statement.

<%
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists (server.mappath("<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("ImageLocation").Value)%>")) Then
<img src="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("ImageLocation").Value)%>">
Else
<img src="images/awaitingimage.jpg" width="243" height="239">
End If
%>

I get "The page cannot be displayed" with the following error:

Error Type:

Expected ')'
/living_space_root/TMP5zdpv2l4js.asp, line 58, column 66

Asp Info
Is asp.net similar to vb.net ? What can you create with it ? ,Is there a program you suggest me to use , or even a compiler ?

Looking For Info
I need to know where I can get information about learning how to code in ASP. This getting cide snippets and such doesn't work out real well if you don't know what to configure. Also I would like to have my own work not someone elses.

Getting DB Info
In different examples I've seen different ways to do the same thing, and I want to know what is best (fastest, easiest to remember, same command for all types of stuff, etc)

For example, to get data from a database, should I use:

[VBS]set rs = conn.execute sqlstmt[/VBS]
or
[VBS]rs.Open sqlstmt, conn[/VBS]
or something else?

Aditional Info
I have a form that I use a few option selections from DB table and a insert script at the end.I'd like to have access to aditional info from the same table after choose an option

Grabbing Info
I am trying to retrieve data from a dropdown listbox in asp using:

<%Response.Write + Request.Form("cboBox")%>

The problem is that I only retrieve the first value of the option. For
example, if my first option was <option value=this that>, I only can
retrieve "this". It won't get the second word.

Info From .asp Web Pages
Recently, I came across a site with information to my area of knowledge. The pages have been designed and consist of the .asp extension in the url.
I'm not able to select the text on the web page, either click right mouse button or anything to copy the information. when I'm trying to print it is not perfect.
So, I would like to know from ASP guru's whether there is any way of saving the information on the web pages, so that the same can be formatted in a word document for printing purpose.

Get User Info
My web site is windows authenticated.
When someone connect to my site, I get his SID with a small active X object
which uses OpenProcessToken and GetTokenInformation (token user etc ...

But now, I also need the SID list from AD user object SIDHistory. (when a
user is moved across domain).

Selecting Info
I've got a WYSIWYG editor, that runs off a template page (i.e. template.htm) that gets opened in an iFrame for editing.
How can I get it setup so I cange the template at the click of a button? I've tried doing a form with radio buttons, but can't get it to work.
For example, the iframe source has been set to "strTemplate". My form processing was along the lines of:

<%
If request.form "template" = "template1" then
strTemplate = "template1.htm"
Else
strTemplate = "template.htm"

If request.form "template" = "template2" then
strTemplate = "template2.htm"
Else
strTemplate = "template.htm"

End If
End If
%>

Display AD Info
Anyone have anything like this? I don't care what data it is... I just want
to see how to query the AD and place the data into a web page.

SMS Info (possibly OT)
Basically I want to be able to send users (if they sign up to it) an SMS alert whenever someone leaves them a message on a webpage. Similar to Hotmail where you can get an SMS when you receive an email, or Ebay where you can get alerts if you are outbid.

I'm thinking maybe something very similar to CDO in terms of coding Code:

Reloading Info
im running an asp page where by i can upload a xls file- which adds data to a database provided it passed validation. this then sends a success message to the user. what i need is a button where i can call the data which was recently added into the database- but dont know how to go about it or code.

DB Field And Name Info
I am using :

<% FOR EACH field IN size_info.FIELDS
Response.write("<option value=''>" & replace(field.name, "asize", "") & "</option>")
NEXT%>

to loop the names of the fields in a DB, but I cannot get it so that is the value of the data in that field is lower than 5 it simply doesn't show, i thought i might be this

<% FOR EACH field IN size_info.FIELDS
if size_info.fields.name.value > 0 then
Response.write("<option value=''>" & replace(field.name, "asize", "") & "</option>")
end if
NEXT%>

but that doesn't work.

Reading Image Extended Info Such As Author Width Comments, Etc

I'm trying to read in image data using the filesystemobject. I am ableto read the comments field for all file types it seems, except the onesI want, .gif .jpg and .bmp.Is it possible to do this?! If so what might I need to do? Code:
