I have a table that contains a chunk of text, and the text commonly has special characters, such as "&" or "–". To edit this text, there is a page where the text is dumped into a textarea.
However, IE interprets the special characters, instead of their values. How can I have it so that when the text from the database is displayed inside a textbox, IE does not display the characters but instead their values?
how do i display characters such as ã é á Ó in response.write. I have this problem displaying when i query from database.
View Replies View RelatedI am working on this form. One of the text field I am using is for a Special Promotion Code. If the user enters the incorrect Promotion Code it should generate an error message. In the future this text field may have at least 10 valid promotion codes to this field. Currently I have only two valid promotion codes to the the text field. The code I created will only validate the first on (06teach)instead of both. Here's my code...

View Replies View RelatedI'm doing a content management system, whereby the user can enter the HTML code for a currency symbol, eg £ for £.y . when I bring this data backup, say they want to edit the settings, then my ASP/HTML page is rendering the HTML code, eg £, rather than showing the original value, eg £.
If for example I put a space between the '&' and the 'pound;', eg & pound; then this will cause me problems because the user will think that they have to a put a space in or they file it with the space, which means the HTML code won't work any more. Is there a way round this?
How do I remove those special characters in a variable? I think there are a dozen special character and so I use a dozen replace object. Is there an object that call this in one call instead of a dozen?

View Replies View RelatedThe website that I am developing is having a search option. The search is according to the type of Industries, like IT-Software, IT-Hardware etc. I am using procedure to search through the database. Now whenever I Select an Industry name like IT - Software, FMCG/Foods/Beverages(i.e with special characters) etc. i get an error message Code:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '/'.
here is the code where I am getting the error
Code:
strSQL = "sp_getsearchvacancy " & sind & "," & sexper & "," & currentPage & "," & iRecordsPerPage
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn
this is same for every keyword having special characters like / , - and even space
But when I use keywords without any special character its works fine.
I'm trying to figure out what '<>' does? Does it the same as == ?

How will you remove special characters from a text? What if my user just copies the text from a web page and then pastes it on a text area? Will special characters/invisible html tags get copied also? If so, how do you remove these special characters/invisible html tags?

I am including copyright information on one of my asp pages. The page is hosted on IIS on an XP Pro machine. I want it to look like this:

the © does not display when the asp page is called, Instead a ? appears. I know its a simple character thing. How do i get the © to display properly?
I am having problems with special characters with database calls (if I'm
referring to this in the right way). the problem is with apostrophes of all
things. If an end user puts an apostrophe in something ASP will interprete
it as a delimiter. This is aggravating because I'm trying to make this as
simple for the end user as possible and if they can't place something in a
simple text field like "Joe's Bar" (which comes out as "Joe") then I have a
problem because I don't have a solution for this. It appears that this "
´ " is not quite the same as " ' " and I don't see a special
character for apostrophes either.
I was curious as to what kind needs to be done in order for special characters to be inputted into the database. I think using these characters in an input box don't work well when transferring with SQL. So when people are writing use something like ' an error comes up.

View Replies View RelatedIm building an online shopping cart in ASP where users will place orders for
various printed materials.
I need to have them build their product online from templates.
Basically they will fill out a small form selecting the product style, Font
and color to be printed in and the text they want printed.
Im trying to figure out a way to display a preview of what they are buying
but the problem is the fonts that are offered. These are not web-safe fonts
nor are they that common a font at all.
The fonts I need to support are:
Achen, Apex, Apex Condensed, Franklin Condensed, Gothic Fine Black,
MisterEarl, Township, Township Thin, and Quixley.
Is there some component available that would allow me to pass a color, font
and text to it and would generate a preview image on the fly?

I am using ASP as front End and My SQL as back end. I have a text box which inputs the comments but my sql gives error while inserting that text into field(I have tried this with both VARCHAR and LONGTEXT).
these characters are not very special like ' ( ) it is not storing these also any body have any idea what should i do to resolve this issue.
what's the vbscript equivilant of adding slashes before special characters when doing inserts into a DB? are we supposed to just use urlencode or do replace regex calls?

Through javascript i am forming a dynamic sql based on some selection criteria entered by the user. If i am trying to have an alias with '&', then on executing this through an ADODB object , the statement fails and i get an error as "from keyword not found"
For ex: If i have a SQL as
select emp_name as "Emp&Mgr" from emp;
on executing this i get the above mentioned error.
But SQL's with other special characters do work.
For ex: select emp_name as "Emp,Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp/Mgr" from emp;
select emp_name as "Emp*Mgr" from emp;
How do i solve this problem.
