i need to display a name of a file retreived from database in the <input type="file">
field. The code is:
<INPUT class="txt" TYPE="file" NAME="filename" SIZE="15" value=<%=filename%>>
I have done the select statement and assigning of the value into variable "filename".
But, the value doesn't get displayed.
need to display in file input type cos user may need to select another 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?
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?

<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??
I wanted to write a simple page to let me choose a directory and then list
the files in it. The end goal was to make an easy way to copy all the
file names in a directory. I tested with Opera7, Mozilla 1.4 and IE6 -- all
on windows XP Pro
Here is the code. In all three, when I select a file, the complete path
is displayed in the file input box. In Opera, reading the form field gives
me the same full path. But in IE and Moz I get only the filename -- none of
the path information. Code:
I'm trying to input image file using this synax.

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?
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 ?
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" SIZE="50" NAME="FILE2">

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
I want a number of buttons to have the value text split over multi-lines, Is this possible?

I'm trying to create an XML guestbook. I'm using a form for the user to input his name, e-mail, message etc. an .asp file to update the xml file and an .htm file with javascript to display the xml file. The .asp file contains a <meta> tag to redirect the user from the .asp file to the guestbook.htm file. Following the submission of the form the script in the .asp file runs fine and updates the xml file but the problem is that when the xml file is accessed by guestbook.htm in appears to be accesing a cached version. For it to display the latest entry i need to access the xml file directly (http://....../guestbook.xml), refresh it and then return to the .htm file.
View Replies View RelatedWhen 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?

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.
Can I check uploaded file type? This is my code:
if (file.ContentType=="application/vnd.ms-excel")
But if I rename a txt file to .xls it not run.
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?
I have a folder with eight or ten files that can be displayed in a browser. I need to display the file with the latest creation date. I imagine there is some kind of ASP function that could like at the filename's date and pick the file that meets the criteria. How can I do this?
View Replies View RelatedHave been struggling over the last 2 days trying to submit an XML form through to 3rd party application. Have tried XMLHTTP, and ServerXMLHTTP, and these are all good for normal form input types but i need to submit a input type of file called 'XML', to a resource which I cant control how it processed it.
Anyone have any ideas of how to do this, I can save and open an XML document from a the dbase created string, but when I send the serverXMLHTTP variable XML = contents of the file it doesnt get processes as a noraml XML document.
Have a look at the function I have, which submits but doesnt see the submitted variable as an XML document. Code:
I used to have some static htm files which used to display data. There is a
calling asp file which used to do something like below
if Request.QueryString("PageName").count = 0 then
strPageNameHtm = "toc.htm"
strPageNameInc = "toc.inc"
else
strPageNameHtm = Request.QueryString("PageName") & ".htm"
strPageNameInc = Request.QueryString("PageName") & ".inc"
end if
strPageNameHtm = server.mapPath(strPageNameHtm)
strPageNameInc = server.mapPath(strPageNameInc)
'response.write(strPageNameHtm)
set fs = server.createobject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
set f = fs.openTextFile(strPageNameHtm)
strSPDHtml = f.readall
The strSPDHTML info used to be displayed using a response.write(strSPDHTML).
This allowed the static content to be loaded up.
I switched the static pages to be asp pages having the content come from a
database. I would still like to maintain the controlling page logic. Can I
modify the above section of code in anyways to access the asp page content
How verify type or extension of file using ASPUPLOAD? I check documentation, but I didn't find anything else yet.
View Replies View RelatedI'm looking to display a page and then initiate the downloading of a file.
Basically trying to display a page that says the download will begin
shortly, and if it doesn't, click here. Like what you see at a number
sites.
I found code to initiate the download in a previous posting ("Force Download
fails when I select "Open" but works when I select "Save"", posted Jan 25,
2005). The code works fine in terms of initiating the download. The
problem I've encountered is that the download begins before the page itself
is displayed.
I recently moved my website from a Unix hosting service to a Windows 2003 IIS hosting service. The site was converted from php/mysql to asp/mssql. The search engines still have a lot of links cached that point to php. When a user clicks the link they get a blank page that reads "No input file specified.".
This page does not appear to be a standard error page.is there a way to redirect all php page requests to my home page?
