ASP :: Reading The Input Type=file Tag With Ie6 In Asp

Reading With Input Type File??
I m using

<input type="file" name="abc">

But when I retrieve the contents sent after browsing the file from the system using

Request.Form("abc")

the retrieved value is null, ie., blank.

Why is that occuring??

Input Type File
Very LAST part of the project:

I want users to pick a file from a pool (=folder) in which they should be 'locked'. I tried using this method:

<input type="file" name="image1">

Once clicked the browse button, it takes the user to a client folder. I want to take the user to the pool on the server which has the uploaded images. Is this possible?

Input Type=file
is it possible to define a default or start up directory with input type="file" field type? If so, is it also possible to filter by another option box selection?

Setting A Default Value For The Input Type File?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.

Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?

Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

Default Folder Location For Input Type="file"
I have some ASP pages on my intranet site providing a helpdesk to my users. As part of logging a helpdesk call I am prompting them to link to a file using input type="file".

The file is on a network drive and the problem is when you click on the browse button it defaults to the clients desktop as the starting point of the browsing process. I would like to set a default location to start browsing eg etwork_serverhelpdesk to avoid confusion. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

Processing/Handling For Form Input Type ="file"
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" SIZE="50" NAME="FILE2">

I have this form field that I'm processing on another ASP page on submission. How do i determine if this field has had any data input? I tried

<% Request.Form("FILE2") %>

but it does not have any value. What am i doing wrong?

INPUT Type=Reset
I have a form on which I have a INPUT Type='Reset'. On clicking this button all the fields on the form should reset except a few. Is it possible to do this by setting some property of the control or do I have to specifically write code form that?

Path From Input Type
I am using freeaspupload to upload an image file. However, i need to grab the path that is in the text box after the client browses to the file. It looks like windows security will only give me the file name. How do i get that entire path?

Input Type Image
I create a button in the form in the asp page like is:

<input type="image" src="button.gif" name="detail" border=0 value="100234">

How can I get this value from another page?

I try:

sdetail = Trim(Request.Form("detail"))
response.write(sdetail)

But doesn't work

Input Type Hidden
i need to track the source of a page which user browses ex: aboutus.html, contactus.html in which there is a link to enquiry.php where a user fills out a form. so i need to track which page the user originally came from(aboutus.html or contactus.html)

presently i am using enquiry.php to track the previous page with the following code

<input type='hidden' name='fromPage' value='<?php print $_REQUEST['fromPage']; ?>' />

i need to know what is the syntax in ASP for the above statement so that i can read the hidden value into a variable called source using Request.Form and later i can read this source variable in php

Reading File
I have a routine I'm writing to read the contents of a file and modify it. However the file will not parse properly into an array, so I strongly suspect I'm using the wrong character to parse the file. The line of code that is supposed to parse the file is:

arrLines = Split(sFileContent, vbCRLF)

When I view the array, it appears as one continuous line, but when I open the file in a file editor it's very clear there are 15 lines.

Reading An Xls File
I've got a league standings file that gets uploaded as an xls file. To display the contents, I'm not sure what the most efficient way is:

1.) Import the xls file into a database every time the file is updated

2.) Read the contents of the xls file using OpenDataSource or OpenRow Set

3.) Something I haven't thought of yet!

Reading A Sql File
I've to got a login script, but in the middle of the verification script, I'd like once the vify has been ok'd to look for a sql file, that has insertion data in it, once the file has been found the asp code must read and carry out the sql command (insert the data in the access db), once done the sql file gets deleted. Code:

Reading From Csv File And ,

! i have done this:
<%
set Testfile=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set TfileStream=Testfile.OpenTextFile("C:InetpubwwwrootQuates.txt")
TextFormat=TfileStream.ReadLine
%>

Reading Xml File By Node Name

i could use:

root.childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).text

but instead of that, i want something like this:

Reading File From Server
Consider the following code snippet:

<%
Dim objFSO,objOpenFile,strPath

strPath=Server.MapPath("ADList1.txt")
Set objFSO=Server.CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")
Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1)
Do While Not objOpenFile.AtEndOfStream
Response.Write(objOpenFile.ReadLine() & "<br>")
Loop
objOpenFile.Close
Set objOpenFile=Nothing
Set objFSO=Nothing
%>

When I try to execute the above code, the code never gets executed. Neither
am I shown a script timeout error. After a lot of investigations, I
concluded that the code is not getting executed due to the presence of

Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1)

If I comment line nos. 3 to 8, then the code gets executed but as expected
without any output. Is this happening because of some permission which has
not been given to IIS 5.0? If so, what is it? I am working on Windows 2000
Professional.

Reading A TEXT File
I would like to know how I could accomplish this without using DB.

There's a long text file named "TEST.TXT"
The TEST file contains special character 'º' which will be used as
pagebreak.
I want an ASP page that will read the TEST.TXT file and split it into
multiple web pages with navigation control. (eg. <FIRST<PREVIOUS>
<NEXT<LAST)

If it is possible

Reading Text File
I have a form that updates a text file. This text file writes variables (i.e. username = tom). This file is used to preview an HTML page and when you go to the form the variables are populated into the form fields again.

For some reason when someone else modifies the text file (using the form) I only see the old contents in the form fields. When I look at the preview HTML file, however, everything is fine.Why doesn't the form re-populate with the new info?

Text File Reading
i have a variable 'user', and a text file 'users.txt'. how can i search the text file and select the line thats the same as the variable 'user', then put that line into a variable?

'user' = 'root'

testuser1|kfkfjd
root|18273
test2|fjfkds

File Input
when using a file input it only returns the filename

is there any way of returning the full path and file name?

Response.write sSplit ' I want to see the contents and this line is giving me the error
Response.Write "</UL>" & Chr(10)

Reading In A Txt File To Create Dropdown List
I am building a link exchagne for a medical web site. To get categories for the link exchange, I Googled "medical categories" and came up with a very, very good list of medical categories. they were seperated by a <br> tag. I went through the code and extracted all but the following (see below).

What I want to do is somehow create a list of "options" for this categories in a select dropdown, with the category being the value for the option AND displayed in the dropdown. You know what I mean. I would think it would involve reading in a text file and inserting the necessary code. Code:

Problem With Writing/reading Text File
Here is what I have setup:

- a form that updates a text file.
- for example, in the form I have two fields, title and story. then, this write to a textfile (i.e. theinfo.asp). the update.asp file looks like this:

TSO.write "<%" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "title = """
TSO.write Request.Form("title")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "story = """
TSO.write Request.Form("story")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf

- so, essentially it is creating an asp file with two variables.
- this works fine, it updates the file and i can call these variables in other pages. however, when i call these variables into a form : old versions of the variables populate the form: Code:

Specifying A FORM FILE Type
When you have a FILE input in your form (ie. <input type="file">), is there any way of forcing the filetype to a certain type (eg. .DOC, .XLS) when you hit the browse button?

Checking For File Type
Is there any way to check for .zip or .txt files prior to a file upload starting. The method I have working currently checks immediately before saving but only after the processes has uploaded the file. Can the extension (and file size) be checked as they are selected by browsinf via a form.

I suspect this is not possible but it must be possible to check them before doing anything further.

Create Dynamic Input Names Or Input Fields In Asp
I have a little code to add multiple items to a shopping cart based

names each time it loops. Here is the code:

Make A Check For File Type
I need to make a check for file type at client end, ie allow only files that are images to be uploaded and prevent the others. I tried using the HtmlInputFile.Accept Property, but it somehow doesn't seem to work.

moreover, it claims to support only few browsers. Also, javascript in itself, gets very dirty, if i start making validations for every thing. Does ASP.NET support any control which can cause these validations? what is the most elegant way to do this?

Have a look at the function I have, which submits but doesnt see the submitted variable as an XML document. Code:
