Hi to All !

I have two applications (web projects) in old good ASP 3.0.
One of these applications has the strange problem with window.open, when the URL is asp page.
The window opens blank and busy (hourglass cursor).
The same URL pasted to explorer address bar brings the right result.

No such problem with html pages.
No such problem with the second project.

The server is Windows 2003
.NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0
All extension on the IIS are enabled (including asp,.NET, Server Includes)
For both projects defined the same version of .NET on ASP.NET tab (although I cannot imagine,
how it may affect the ASP application).
Every project is defined as a website with application(IIS definition).
All definitions are identical.
Both sites use the same Application pool and seat on the same IP with different headers.
Popup blocker on the client side is disabled

I've tried to use the following instead of window.open:

var winHndl = window.open("","TestWindow");<br />
winHndl.document.location = "test.asp";

I've tried also to use try-catch block, relative and absolute path,... Nop. No error, no results.

Can somebody plz shed a light on this mystery ?

What I need else to do/check ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gennady

Where you get this idea that I didn't use window.open ? That was the first try.
Simply in the question I tried to give the full picture of my "experiments and research".

And additional question especially to you: did you read my message up to the end? Smile | :)

var winHndl = window.open("","TestWindow");
winHndl.document.location = "test.asp";

window.open("full_path_url","name of the window");

i was asking why u dun use the "direct" way without having 2 declarations for one thing ... but whatever

Code? Yeah i love it fried together with a glass of wine.

Re: Popup window problem - additional tests

Sorry, you may beat me, but I cannot understand what one thing and two declarations you're talking about.
May be, it's because of my English, that is permanently under construction.

Thanks anyway.

I'd like to add the results of two additional tests:
1. Use the pure html page with .asp extension
2. The same page is loaded not in popup window, but instead of current page:

<br />
document.location = "test.asp";<br />

In both cases the result is the same - blank window with busy cursor.

Gennady

Hello,

Does your problem only happens in IE? Or all browsers?
Are you actually using window.open or window.showModalDialog?

I would try adding a break point in code so you could see if the debugger actually goes into the code or does IIS blocks it.

Have you checked what are the IIS log about this page?

calling dll from classic asp

1-Dec-08 2:56

Hi, Dominic !
Thanks.

We solved the problem with the help of MS support.
Using the debugdiag tool DebugDiag[^] we've found that one of asp pages loaded into the hidden frame (for debug purposes) filled out all available worker threads, executing the same one-time function more and more.
This happened, as far as I could understand, after updating the SQL client on the server.
Didn't understand the whole story yet.

Gennady

Hi,
I've to call a dll from my classic asp page.
In VB6 application, it has been loaded like that

Declare Sub functionName Lib "dllName.dll" (ByVal k As String, ByVal i As String)

If I would like to use that dll in classic asp, how can it be done?

Thanks in advance,

This[^] may help.

If you want to do thbis on a publicly hosted server, you will need to get the server admin to install the dll for you - whether or not they will do this depoends on your host...

Persisting the state of the web page controls when AJAX is used.

Hi!
In my application the web pages are consisting of various different sections.
I am using AJAX update panel in one of the sections of my web page to do a partial postback and I am setting the values of the controls in this section.
Now when I re-direct to another page if the user clicks the back button
then the state of the controls in the section of the Page that was earlier set using AJAX is lost.
Is there some way I could overcome this.
Any help would be appreciated.

JavaScript issue with Less Than symbol (<)

gokninski15-Nov-08 1:38

Hello there!

I have a very small and hopefully simple query regarding JavaScript for loops and the '<' symbol that has been bugging me now for a couple of days.

Below is my JavaScript function that is being called by a submit button:

<script type="text/JavaScript">		
   function createTestArray()
      {
      for (i = 0; i < 5; i ++)
         {
         alert("Hello");	
         }	
      }		
</script>

I have replaced the '<' symbol with the appropriate code (<) because it was causing errors but I still get an error saying:

Expected ')'

in the area where the '<' should be.

Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening or of any ways around this?

Thanks!

Grzegorz

I'm not sure i follow - you do actually need the less-than operator, <, not the HTML entity <. If you're worried about it being interpreted incorrectly, wrap your script in CDATA tags:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
   function createTestArray()
      {
      for (var i = 0; i < 5; i ++)
         {
         alert("Hello");	
         }	
      }
//]]>
</script>

Note that you should also declare your loop counter (as shown - var i...) to avoid relying on an automatic global variable.

You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Thanks very much for your reply,

I did try this and it didnt work either, its extremely puzzling. I wonder whether its because this particular peice of Javascript is within an XSLT file.

I have got round the problem by using <xsl:for-each xmlns:xsl="#unknown"> instead which has made things more complicated and other problems have arisen.

If you know of any other reasons why this may be happening than thank you in advance!

Yes, it is. I would have expected the CDATA trick to allow you to use < in the XSLT without causing problems, but it wouldn't surprise me much if it's being converted during output anyway. I suggest you avoid including any JS in the XSLT that you aren't generating on the fly with XSLT - your life will be much, much easier.
