Still can't get it? Did you read the article?

I read your article several times. Do I have explicitly have all the items be textboxs? Do I have to process the Textboxs OnTextChanged message even if I just want the end result? If the arguements passed are the original values what use is the update command? Thanks.

a couple of points...
1. you are using a global sqlconnection....this could hog resources...i'd at least try to close it after every use and reopen it before every use...the datagrid is good at displaying disconnected data (that's that the System.Data.DataSet object is)
2. make sure you aren't calling DataBind() in your page_load event every time, or else it'll grab the data right from sql again
should be something like
public void page_load()
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
Page.DataBind();
}
else
{
//do nothing...page was posted back, and data will remain in datagrid unless changed in another function
}
}
hope this helps

Here is what I am doing to create an sql statement to query my database and return records displaying them as a bulleted list:
1.<%
2.Set catRS = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Recordset" )
3.catRS.ActiveConnection = Con
4.sqlString = "SELECT DISTINCT product_category FROM Products "
5.sqlString = sqlString & "WHERE product_status=1 "
6.sqlString = sqlString & "ORDER BY product_category "
7.catRS.Open sqlString
8.%>
9.<% If cat = "Home" THEN %>
10.Home
11.
12.<% ELSE %>
13.Home
14.<% END IF %>
15.<% WHILE NOT catRS.EOF %>
16.<% IF catRS( "product_category" ) = cat THEN %>
17.
18.<%=catRS( "product_category" )%>
19.
20.<% ELSE %>
21.- "><%=catRS( "product_category" )%>
23.<% END IF %>
24.<%
25.catRS.MoveNext
26.WEND
27.%>
28.
29.<% catRS.Close %>
And I receive this error message when trying to open up the default.asp page that includes this catlist.asp file to populate a menu:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E0C)
Command text was not set for the command object.
/cham2DSN/catlist.asp, line 7
Can anyone give me any clues???

You might want to try that again, and check the "display as-is" box

Ok, here is my go at it, it does appear to be a little jumbing as ben said before.
Do something like this:
<%
Dim conn
Dim catRS
Dim sql
With Response
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set catRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "SELECT DISTINCT product_category FROM Products " & _
"WHERE product_status=1 ORDER BY product_category"
conn.ConnectionString = <code>[YourConnectionStringGoesHere]</code>
conn.Open
catRS.ActiveConnection = conn
catRS.Open sql
If Not catRS.EOF Then
.Write "<ul>" & vbcrlf
Do Until catRS.EOF
If catRS("product_category") = <code>"SomeWord"</code> or <code>Variable</code> Then
.Write "<li>" & catRS("product_category") & "</li>"
End If
catRS.MoveNext
Loop
.Write "</ul>"
End If
catRS.Close
set catRS = nothing
conn.Close
set conn = nothing
End With
%>

3.catRS.ActiveConnection = Con
Where do your "Con" come from?

I am wondering how (if it is possible) to do the following:
You have a login form with a login ID (email address) and a password. When the user clicks the "Submit" button, go to a page that varifies the email address and password. That part I've got done -- easy.
What I would like is to have another button, or a link, that will go to a different page that will send the user their password in an email. So what I'm wondering is how can this other page (the one sending the email) get the email address the user entered on the form? I would rather not simply redirect them to a second page where they enter the email address. If possible, I would like to be able to read the email address entered on the login form. Can it be done? If so, how?
My understanding is that the data on the form is not available to subsequent pages until the form is submitted (which activates the "action" page, right?). Is there a way around that, or am I missing something basic?
Thanks.

<form action="original.html" method="post">
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="password" name="passwd">
<input type="submit" value="OK">
<input type="button" value="Forgot Passowrd" onClick="this.form.action='newpage.html';this.form.submit();">
</form>

Jeremy's way works well, but an alternative (always good to have options) is to have the FORM still go to the same handling ASP page, but also have a hidden text box in the FORM which tracks which button was clicked.
Then in the ASP you can check which one was clicked and do whatever is appropriate.
The benefit is that you can save some coding by having only one ASP page and not two. The down side is there is a bit more code (HTML and JavaScript) on the originating FORM page.
If you need some help with the hidden text box method just ask...

Ah, good idea.
I've already coded it the other way, but thanks for the alternative. I agree, always good to have alternatives.
I've used hidden text boxes but didn't even think of that.

In theory, very similar to the first reply I got, in that you change the ".action" to the new page. But very slick. I also liked the idea one person, who wrote a message on the article's page, had about having a single function that takes a parameter that tells it which page to redirect to. Very nifty.
Thanks everyone.

never mind people, i found a function in PHP, the nl2br() function.
to use it, simply do
nl2br("this\nstring\nhas\nreturns");
and it turns the \n into <br>

Just an FYI...
\r\n = Windows (not in textareas, but in text files)
\n = Unix\Linux\Posix, etc.
\r = Macintosh

This information really depends on what you are doing, but I first came across this issue when developing a website on a PC using PHP for a client using mainly Macs.
I was using my own API; however, and not nl2br() because it didn't provide enough functionality. I'm not sure if nl2br() will handle carriage returns and line feeds instead of just line feeds. I'll have to check I guess.

whats the difference? it works with the text like this
bla\nbla\nbla
and it also worked when i made a text file in notepad, uploaded it, then use a php script to open it, parse it with the nl2br() function.

You're not using a Mac. The data in a textarea is processed on the client by the browser and sent to the server. Just searching for \n will also catch \r\n, but not \r by itself.

Hi:
I am right now developing an application that involves filing up a pretty big report which spans over 5 pages.Now Right now the application has been so designed that everytime a page is filled up the connection to the database is opened,data is updated and then its closed.
But then now slowly security is starting to worry us and i am not too happy about having my connection string out for grabs in all pages..
Can You Suggest some articles or information that will help me with the design of applications taking security point of view..
People suggest using COM Objects for each page to help me in updating data.

Just a couple hours ago I started writting my own forums front end and have pretty much finished and now it is time to move on to the database backend.
What kinda structure would best be suited for a forum like this one...???
I'm thinking
Table: Forum
[PKID][Date][Email][Username][Password][Subject][Content]
the one feature I admire the most about CP is the nested child nodes...something that really lacks in other message forums around the net...and something i've taken care of in my own...
Anyways...if anyone has any tips about the database backend of things please lemme know...like do I create a new table for each message thats started...??? Or should I keep all messages inside the one table and use fancier code to track which message get inserted where...???
Thanx
Cheers! 
p.s-pardon me for sounding unclear, but I haven't slept for quite a while and it's starting to catch up with me...

Well I am no expert but I can tell you definitley not to create a whole new Table for each Message. That would just be insane.
You can have one Table with each Message as a record/row in the Table. One way to link parent-child Messages is to have an Parent_ID field which contains the Parent Message ID of the current Message.
However saying all that, XML IMO is the way to go for Forums nowadays, mainly because XML is heirarchecal and that is exactly what a Forum is all about.
