Well, the topic pretty much sums it up.
I have an EXE(On the Server) that creates a text document(Also on the Server depending on parameters that are sent to it.
I'm trying to find a way to execute it (I have set permissions) from my .asp page depending on what parameters the user inputs.
I've tried Googling, but pretty much every result Involving the words "Run" and "VBScript" end off with WScript examples running off of local machines...
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!

Are you sure you're not confusing your clients and your servers here? Where is your asp(x) application running, if not on the same server as your .exe?
|
|
|

Let me rephrase slightly 
The EXE is in the same folder (On the Server) as the .asp File.
I'm trying to find a way for the person browsing the .asp file (On their OWN Browser) to execute the EXE (On the Server - So that it runs on the Server)
I hope that clarifies my question

Yes, but, but... as asp page runs on the server, before sending plain HTML down to the client on their browser. It does not run on the client machine. This is the whole point of server-side scripting....
|
|
|
|
|
Well, since it runs on the server, should it not be able to execute a file? I don't want the client to have any interaction with the exe - It must all be server-side (By the page itself) - Or am I missing something...

well, one of us is. By default, for security reasons, you cannot run executables, but if you have access to the server and can set the appropriate permissions then there are ways, as your Google search has turned up.
But the idea of an asp(x) page is that your scripts are executed on the server - the client may not even have the capability to run scripts. If you run an asp page then do a "view source" in your browser and look at the page source, all you will see is plain HTML. The client has requested the page, the server has executed your asp code, and returned plain HTML to the browser. If you have set the right permissions, you should be able to run an exe on the server during this process.

"If you have set the right permissions, you should be able to run an exe on the server during this process."
How? Permissions have already been set :p

your exe and your asp pages are on the same machine, ergo local...

Don't do that - you'll give yourself a headache... the point is, as far as your VBScript is concerned, the exe *is* on thw local machine, so you should be able to use your Google'd examples to create your code. "Local machine" doesn't mean "client machine", it means local....

I want open default mail client with attachment from web page.
|
|
|
|

There is no official way to attach files using "mailto" protocol. Most likely because of the security reasons.
However some email clients do accept the attachment parameter with the file in quotes i.e. attachment="C:\fileName.txt" such as outlook 98.

i tried with attachment="C:\fileName.txt", but it is not working.
how to specify file path.
any other method to attach a file.
|
|
|
|
|
Basically you can't, and as it depends on the email client, you have no idea what they are using - outloook, eudora etc etc

Use element.childNodes instead. Be aware, unlike element.children this list may contain text nodes.
---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

Hi all,
I am dynamically creating s list of rating controls based on a table in my database.
I'm using a datareader to pupulate a placeholder.
This is all fine, the problem comes when I try to save the values on the rating controls back to the db.
I can change the values on the rating controls from default (3) to any other value but when getting each individual RatingControl.CurrentValue, it uses the default value.
I think this is because the controls are created dynamically and therefore get their values reset on postback?
How do I go about retreiving the new values as seelcted by the user?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

For those interested...
The solution is infact to create the controls at Page_Init instead of Page_Load...
This way viewstate is preserved

Check this :

{
var targetObj = document.getElementById(controlId);
if(!targetObj.disabled)
shortcut.add(key, function(){targetObj.focus();});
return false;
}
