Anyone know where I can find a list of characters and their escape sequence. Like space = %20, & = %26, etc.

It's just the ASCII character code in base 16.
Try Accessories/System Tools/Character Map, it will give you the code.
If programming, try a code using .ToString("X") on a char.

Hello CPians,
I am developing an application on ASP.NET with C# and one of the basic requirements is to dynamically update certain clients. In other words I need to send information to the client without the client requesting it in order to keep 3, 4 or 5 clients synchronised with the same info when one of them is updating the info.
I know that it sounds strange but this is the essence of the application.
I know that I can refresh the page every X seconds, but this is not good as it will overload the server with unwanted requests.
Is this feasible?
Any ideas are wellcomed!
Thanking you in advance...

You could use Response.Flush but whatever you do the synchronization will never be exact there will always be diferences.

Man, that sounds like fun! 
It depends on when you need to refresh. What is the case where you will need the clients to refresh and what is the case where they don't need to refresh?
One thought ... if all of your clients are using Windows machines then you can create the Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object with JavaScript to do a small check if the browser should refresh or not. I know you said that you don't want to overload the server with unwanted requests but if you kept it to a small "Yes" or "No" answer then it shouldn't be that taxing.
function shouldIReload() {
var obj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
obj.Open('GET', 'Refresh.aspx');
obj.Send();
if (obj.responseText == "yes") {
document.location.reload();
}
}
setTimeout(shouldIReload, 1000);
This way you don't reload the entire page unecessarily and it's rather transparent to the end-user. You could even prompt the user with a confirmation box, or something friendly like that, to let the user know you are about to refresh the page and they should not crap their pants because something is happening when they didn't even click anything
The Refresh.aspx page would do a simple check of whatever criteria and only do a simple Response.Write("yes") or Response.Write("no") accordingly.
Let me know if this helps at all ...

SQL = "UPDATE questions SET request.form("R1") = votec WHERE ID = request.form("ID") "
how do you get this to work if request.form("r1") = a1
votec is a number entering a fld with datatype of number
and request.form("ID") may be a positive or negative number
THanks in advance

a1 is a fld in the same database and table as everything else

Since votec is a number, and you're constructing a string, you might try an explicit cast of votec to a string representation; ie, CStr(votec) instead of merely 'votec'.

Yes that will work, or you can use If Else ElseIf.

I am using Session variables to control flow through a website. One ASP page tests the value of Session("update") on entry; if it's set to "No" the script allows a record to be edited, after which it changes Session("update") to "Yes" and reloads the same page. If the value is "Yes" it is supposed to Update the DB with the new values from the edit phase. The value of the session variable is initialized in global.asa using the Session_OnStart subroutine. The trouble is that this variable never gets set! The other three variables I use for other things all get initialized correctly, but this one consistently gets skipped.
Is there something about session variables that I'm missing? Is "update" a reserved word or something? Is there a smarter way to do this?

Dunno, but if each user is supposed to have Session("Update") initialised to "No", you could do something like:
If Session("Update") <> "Yes" Then
...do the update...
Session("Update") = "Yes"
Response.Redirect ("MyPage.asp")
End If
...other code in page...

That's a possibility, but I really hate the idea of leaving anything undefined, however briefly. This should be working - the variable should be set at the opening of the session. But it isn't, and the others that I define in the same section are being set correctly and reliably. Very strange and frustrating!

Hi,
i want to create a htmlhelp .chm file and want to send a tcard message to a calling .exe. in order to do that i included the control
<object id="training" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="TCard" />
<param name="Button" value="Text: Ok" />
<param name="Item1" value="5555, MyText" />
<param name="Font" value="Arial,8,0,," />
Now i want to change the line <param name="Item1" value="5555, MyText" /> dynamically, but i can't manage it. it is not possible to 'appendChild' to the <object> nor is it to do it via 'document.all.training.Item1.value="0, NewString"...
Unfortunately the text 'MyText' seems to be limited to 255 characters in htmlhelp workshop (a further problem).
Does anybody know why?
Thyx
Steve
