First - make sure you have SMTP installed on your IIS server (should be there, but if it isn't, this could cause you hours of insane frustration if nobody warns you Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

).

Dim objMail,sMailBody, strBody, email, name 'Dim necessary vars
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") 'create object

email = "you@whoever.com"
name = "A Name"
objMail.From = "me@whoever.com" 'set the from for the email
objMail.Subject = "CDONTS Email" 'set the subject for the email
objMail.To = email
'Build the body in HTML format
strBody = "" & _
"" & _
"" & _
" Hello name " & _
" I am writing to you bla bla bla." & _
"

" & _
"" & _
""
objMail.Body = strBody
'set the format before the send
objMail.MailFormat = 0
objMail.BodyFormat = 0
'send the mail
objMail.Send

Set objMail = nothing 'destroy the object again

Hope that helps. Note- the HTML formatting for the body of the email is not necessary, but it is a nice touch. Smile | :)

When IIS is open, do you see SMTP as a node?

Actually... my site is hosted by a 3rd party. And they say that CDONTS is supported (a part of the doc that was sent to me along with the registration).

So I tried for it.

Valid XHTML

Hi!

I tried to validate my web page at http://validator.w3.org[^] and got 497 (yes, four hundred ninety seven) errors! The page rendered fine in IE 5 and 6, but was obviously not valid XHTML. Well anyway, I nailed down all of them, but one.

Here is the code snippet:

<span class="someclass">
Some text.
<br />
<ul style="margin:0px 0px 0px 25px;">
     <li>Item one</li>
     <li>Item two</li>
</ul>
<br />
Some more text.
</span>

The error message I got from the validator was:

Line 504, column 46: document type does not allow
element "ul" here; missing one of "object", "applet",
"map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag 

          <ul style="margin:0px 0px 0px 25px;">
                                              ^

Hmmm...

So what should I do now to make it valid XHTML and still get what I want? I have tried enclosing the ul within span, p, div, even blockquote. div and p etc result in the error message that p or div cannot be present here. It's 1:45 am here and after working on this for straight I don't know how many hours fixing 496 errors, I can't think properly now. I am not an expert in this stuff. Please help.

Thanks in advance. Smile | :)

Oops... can this alone solve the problem??....

Turn the friendly error messages OFF??

Can there be any further debugging facilities??

Multiple Select

Hi!

to allow muliptle selections in a select-box isn't very hard:

<select name="choice" multiple>
<option value="1">first choice</option>
<option value="2">second choice</option>
<option value="3">third choice</option>
</select>

but I can't seem to address the return-array. I'm using php-scripts. So normally a select-box (if you allow only one selection like in most cases) you simple address it like $choice

but this logic doesn't apply to multiple selections
$choice[0] - $choice([array-length] arnen't correct. (nor anything like it)

So, it can't be very hard since it's rather easy to implement, so uhm anyone?

this cannot be done on the server-side. you need to use client-side script (JavaScript) to open a new browser window.

window.open()

It depends on what you are trying to do with the new window on how the best way to use this ... but this will hopefully get you on the right track.

JScript: store 2D-Array in Application object

Hi,

I want to cache a 2D-Object (basically, a list of number-string-string) in the Application object. Took me long time to accept that I can#t use an Array. Any other chance?

I'm not sure if this is what you are trying to do ... but I think it might help.

In JScript you cannot create a two-dimensional array simply by doing something like:

var myArr = new Array(10)(10);

Or something like that could possibly make sense ... anyways, you can get around this by doing the following:

var arrRows = new Array(10);
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
     arrRows[i] = new Array(10);
}

Crazy at it may seem this gives you a 10x10 two-dimensional array (or in other words: an array of arrays) and the insane part is you can then access the elements in the array like this:

arrRows[0][0] = "something";

Try it.

Disclaimer: this worked in client side JavaScript ... I am hoping the same would hold true for your ASP.

No problem creating the array, the problem is I can#t store an JavaScript Array in the Applicaiton object... Frown | :-(

That stinks ... just out of curiosity, what kind of error does it give you?
