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?
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 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 ?
how do i allow the user to add in a value that has a ' in it (e.g int'l) in the form. apperantly if i do that there will be an error... how do i go about this?
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?
Have 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 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?
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?
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
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 have no major programming background so am struggling to enable processing of forms on my website. Normally I just use Frontpage extensions or a freeware CGI script.
However, with this particular site, which is being hosted in Zimbabwe, the hosting company says they only support Java or VB enabled forms for processing. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a freeware script that will be easy enough for me to implement?
I'm just after abit of advice and recommendation about processing a form. Would it be advisable to set the form action to the page were the form currently sits and insert an if statement into the beginning of the page to check to see if submit = Yes?
Then saving the user inputs into sessions?
if all inputs meet the validation requirements then redirect the user to the next step?
Also is there a better way of trapping if a user enters numerical values and special characters than this? Code:
I have a form that users enter details of a car (e.g make model , idnumber#) and then press save to save to the database they may want to order 10 cars with the same details exept the idnumber so to save the users entering in all 5 details I want to make it easier.
Should I have a list box and let the user add idnumber items from a text box and then pass this to my update asp and loop through + to save to the database or should I save one record and then return back to the same form Note : I am having problems with this method as only part of the fields show when I hit the back button I just wondered what is the best method of doing this I am spoilt for choice and I also get problems.
i have created a registration page containing a form than sends username password to an asp processing page. If the user exists it sends the user back to the registration page with server.transfer command otherwise it adds the new user to the database as expected.
Anyhow I now want to add an upload feature to the registration page (using pure-asp). The example I used says that the form Enctype property should be set to mulipart/form-data.
Now when I add a new user via the registration form, the processing page for some reason assumes the user is already registered (BUT IS NOT IN DATABASE) and the server.transfer code is executed ? sending the user back to the registration page.
I have the need to create a form that will allow a user to register for summer camp online and also make payment. I also want the ability to export the data to a .CSV or some other simple database file. I do NOT want to export to XML. The form processing program would preferably be ASP or PHP.
I plan to use PayPal or some other credit processing company to allow the user to make payment. This is for a non-profit organization so a free or very inexpensive solution is obviously preferred. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have three pages that I am working on at the mo. A select record page that selects a record to be updated. A form page that allows the selected to be amended, and an update form processing page.
With the form processing page I am getting an error which I can't seem to get around- the error is-
"ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record. Code:
I have created a form in HTML with no problems, but I can't find any tutorials on how to (or whether I even can) have the results of what the user inputted into the form directly to me. I would also like to be able to have the results stored in an Excel Spreadsheet as well. I've found tutorials on how to send to addresses inputted into the form, kind of like a 'Thanks for Participating' sort of thing and I've tried to modify it to get it to work for sending me messages, but I just can't get it to work.
I would like to be able upload a text file to be put in a database, from a file field control in a HTML Form. The file will contain the ID numbers of some users, separated by a line break. I would like to be able to insert all the numbers in a table in my database. I don't want to save the uploaded file in the server, just handle it as I have said. how can I do that using ASP 3.0?
I have a very simple form with text fields which I would like to append the data to a text file.
Here is the code I have written, but I just keep getting an HTTP 500 - Internal server error
If I remove all the code and just leave the response.write at the end then that works, so ASP is working.
I am very new to ASP, so have no idea where to start.
<% 'declare varibales to hold info dim email,firstname,subject,comments,separater,textfil epath const ForAppending = 8 separater = "|" 'sub to call to add to text file sub addToTextFile (byval textdata) set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set myFile = fso.OpenTextFile(textfilepath, ForAppending, True) myFile.Writeline textdata myFile.Close set FSO = Nothing
I have purchased a form processing script, which basically saves the data into a database, emails certain people's email addresses with the form results, and also sends an email to the user that filled in the form with a thank you email.
However, all the emails are being sent in plain text format. I would like to change this to HTML so I can make the results look nicer and also make the thank you email look nicer.
I have emailed the script developers, but have yet had a response from them, so i thought id put a post on here!
I have found the part of the coding that sends the Thank You email out to the user once they have filled in the form:
'/// Send Autoresponse if replyto<>"" and (autoresponse<>"" or sendcopy<>"") then if sendcopy<>"" then autoresponse=autoresponse & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & message call sendmail(replyto,mailadmin,formname,autoresponse) end if end if .......
Since my efforts to get my current script working are not working out. Does anyone know of a good ASP form handling script that can work with my HTML form.
Ive encoded some HTML to a text file, and annoyingly its putting a small strange squre symbol near the end of the file. After some searching on google I found out that this is the "end of file" marker for a text file. What is strange is that this marker isnt actually at the end of the file that I am reading, because the file has been encoded from a webpage.
This is making handling the text in the file very difficult, because it gets confused when it finds more text after the end of file marker:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A003E) Input past end of file
If I remove the end of file marker "manually" the script runs fine...and if the end of file marker is moved, again manually, to the end of the file, the script works fine....its just when its part way through the file...
Apparently &H1A is the symbol for an end of file marker, but if i use something like:
