in javascript attempting to get a string from somewhere sometimes will give you a string reading "undefined" or "object" now i know that this sort of thing happens in vbscript too, if i'm writing a universal "convert anything to a string" function what do i need to check for so that anything like "undefined" or "null" (or NULL) get's converted into ""?
View RepliesI have the following problem.
I'm building a site with a db backbone.
In an "include file" I set a constant like:
Const partners = 22
and on some other page, I want to pass the word partners using the query string.
Meaning: I want to make such a link:
href="mypage.asp?module=partners"
When my page reads the querystring - I want it to be able to understand the value of the constant "partners".
when I read from the db using the following kind of Query, I get a "no value specified for one of more..." Code:
I am trying to use the following code to refer to a form and control on my
form. I am supposed to be using VBSCRIPT for this code.
I always get an "object required: 'document' " error:

Set Myform = document.forms.thisform
Myform.textbox1.value = "fish" %>
None of this code will work. Always get an error.
Using Visual Interdev, plain ole ASP, and vbscript, and Win XP Pro with IIS
5.1
What am I missing or doing wrong???
can SO tell me why the following script :
dim oShell
set oShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.shell")
oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32
otepad.exe")
set oShell=nothing
works as expected in the context of a .vbs script and doesn't work (with the following changes made...) when inserted in a .asp web page under IIS ?
dim oShell
set oShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'
intReturn = oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32
otepad.exe")
response.write(intReturn)
set oShell=nothing
the Shell object is well created (i can check some of its properties) but the oShell.run command doesn't seem to execute the given command line.
I've discovered an insidious bug with the VBScript Regular Expression
object.I set the pattern to consist of the set of invalid filename
characters plus comma. I set global property to true then do a replace on a
SID. The Replace does nothing. However, if I attach the C++ (dev studio
2003) debugger to the IIS host process (dllhost.exe), every time I call
RegExp.Replace, the stack for one of the process's threads gets scrambled.
It ends up with the value 0x00000001 at the top of the stack! If your
debugger is set to stop on access violations, it always catches one (invalid
read trying to delete). The problem is insidious because, without the
debugger running, you would never know this is happening. ASP returns no
error. Potentially this could wreak havoc on your web application and cause
bizarre failures later on. Has anyone else run into this one? It seems to
happen only with the Replace method.
I have a record object (for instance, named record). I record.MoveFirst, then I set up a simple little loop:
For Each ofield in record.Fields
...
Next
Within my loop, I want to test to see if it is the last iteration. That is, with a simple If...Then, I want to be able to complete something the last time through.
Is this possible, either with some sort of record.EOF type property, or some sort of record.Count type property (and then using a simple counter during iteration to count down until the last one)?
I'd like to try to be at least a little elegant... I understand its possible to iterate through the whole record twice, the first time to count, but that would obviously be a poor choice if any other method is available.

I have almost completed tweaking vbscript to run on mysql rather than the Access database it was designed for. Trial and error, luck and a bit of detective work have got me this far, however I am getting the following error when tryinf to update existing records in the database.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'RS.Find'
/faq/admin/edit2.asp, line 7
The piece of script looks like this in Dweaver
Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS.Open "Questions", Conn, 2, 2
RS.Find "ID='" & Request("ID") & "'"
The .Find text is black whereas all other "methods"(?) like the .Open are pink. Is it that the .Find method works with access and not mysql and if so waht is the equivalent or am I barking up the wrong tree?

View Replies View Relatedi am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?
I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.
The problems seems to do with formatting the text in the variable with <span>s using stylesheets, or if there are " and ' markes in the post proper (which I can't seemt to remove with Replace). Here's my code:

I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING

i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:
temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedI have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

View Replies View RelatedI am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until.

Could somebody let me know what these mean? My guess is that the longer string is better, simply because it tests more thoroughly, but I could be mistaken.
