On first ASP page there is a FORM that user must fill - personal data
& stuff, where users use special language related characters (like
Č, š, Ž...). When I post the form results to another ASP page
that collects the data with Request.form("field"), special characters
usually (90%) disappear, change into boxes or some other characters.
This page should then write the results to a DB or send it via email,
but since the characters are not encoded properly I did not write the
script yet.
I tried to set Codepage and charset, but it does not solve the
problem.
I can't seem to find a solution on the web since I am not sure what to
look for.
I need to filter the username entry in the field during the registration. If I'm not mistaken, usernames can't consist of special characters, only international alphabet characters (a-z,A-Z), digits(0-9) and underline allowed.
I tried with something like "._[a-z][A-Z][0-9]" but it doesn't work.
I have a problem with special Slavic (CE) and German charaters. On the first ASP page I have a FORM (user data...address...) that is posted to other ASP page. Data is then collected with request.form(item), and then it is written into a DB. Well the problem is that special langauge specific charaters are tranformed into boxes or some other charaters. I tried the response write to see if it is a problem with the DB part, but it isn't. Anyway does anyone have a working solution, since I can't find any on the web. I experimentd with codepage and charset, but with no results. Also I tried to post the data to email script - there problem is there.
Is there a way to change encoding of a message created with CDO.Message, or otherwise send international characters (unicode) in Textbody? The messages I get now show question signs instead of international characters.
I hope somone can offer some advice. I have built a database accepting information through ASP from clients in UK, Germany France and Russia. I set the ASP codepage to 65001 and the charset to UTF-8 and thought this would be enough to present the information from the different sources correctly.
Russian and English are OK but German and French produse peculiar chars. Set the codepage to 1252 and Russian goes awry. Has anyone some pointers to setup a truly international CMS?
I am having problems sending values from a simple FORM to a database. All is written in ASP, and I am doing some validations before it is actually saved in my database.
It worked for several years, but now it won't accept international characters. This means that the Norwegian word for boat "BÅT" ends up like "BT" since the "Å" isn't sent.
I have done several testings, and it actually looks like the error occurs immidiately after I hit the submit-button.
When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?
Anyone in here got an idea how i could limit the display on on a paragraph to 50 characters? because everytime I access the database it would show up the entire paragraph.
I have the character & (username is a&d) in a username in one of my database fields and it won't read it properly. Do you have to do something special with characters like that?

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?
What I am trying to do could be simple but I have no idea how to it. I am trying to display only a part of the record retrieved from database. I have retrieve data from database and I show it in normal way <% = oRs(0)%>, the problem is that I want to show only 100 first characters and then make some thing like this … after 100 first character. In this way all the data retrieved would look the same in the page.
One of our offices in AD is called "Albert St", the OU is called "Albert St", but when I retrieve the value out of the list box it becomes "Albert" and throws errors as it cant find the "Albert" OU. Not surprising, really. I am going to try type casting, but beyond that

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made? I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
