Re: sending mails automatically at certain time Jason Jystad24-Sep-01 9:10 Jason Jystad 24-Sep-01 9:10  Actually it is possible to use an ASP page to do this. (maybe not the best solution, but just for fun here is how to do it) The e-mail portion is simple, using either CDONTS or one of the many e-mail components out there (eg ASPMail). Then you would just be building the body of the message from the database table via the usual ADO tapdance. The tricky bit is getting it to run regularly, as ASP is not "executable" as such, it must be interpreted through a web server. This allows for no regular scheduling, as ASP exits memory upon completion. I did use a couple of ASP scripts to do some automated tasks just for the fun of it once though. (ok ok, I'm a geek ) The way you get it to execute regularly is by using task scheduler to execute a command line of "iexplore [insert page url here]" without the quotes. You will need to make sure that iexplore.exe is in your path or specify the path to it when you call it. I would just use the server's task scheduler to do it. Or if it is a hosted site on a remote machine, you can use the task scheduler on your own machine, just remember that your machine will have to be running to call the page.

Second, How can use a javascript variable to determine the size of an object, such as a picture or an ActiveX control? What I am trying to do is detect when the IE window is resized, then I want to resize an ActiveX control to the size of the window. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Aaron Gillmann Re: a couple JavaScript Questions Erik Thompson20-Sep-01 9:31 Erik Thompson 20-Sep-01 9:31  Just set the width and height properties of the object tag for you active x control to be 100% then when the window resizes the object will be the same size as the window. Cheers, -Erik ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My thoughts are my own and reflect on no other. HTTP Post of XML from ASP page 19-Sep-01 9:23 19-Sep-01 9:23  I have a need from an ASP page, to post XML data on another site collected from my ASP based form. Can I use XMLhttp object from ASP to accomplish this? Is there a short sample available somewhere? Re: HTTP Post of XML from ASP page Andrew Quinn AUS15-Oct-01 6:20 Andrew Quinn AUS 15-Oct-01 6:20  Yes, here is an example of the code needed. Note the use of the ServerXMLHTTP rather than the XMLHTTP usually used (see ) although using IIS5.0 you can use XMLHTTP but put your application as High (Isolated). Example Set oIFX = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") ' Build up XML document from your data (form) xmlRequest = "<query>" &vbCr xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<product>XYZ" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<client>XYZ Web Client" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<version>1.0" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<savexml>FALSE" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<command>PLT" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "<plt>" & strValue & "" xmlRequest = xmlRequest & "" ' Load in the XML created oXML.loadXML(xmlRequest) ' Where we sending this?? Call oIFX.open("POST", "http://.../xyz_query.asp", false) ' And the data we want to send... Call oIFX.send(oXML) Hope this helps, Andy Adding and retrieving text data 19-Sep-01 1:20 19-Sep-01 1:20  I have a text area where I will enter some text I want to retrieve the text in same format that I am entering. Can anyone help me? Thanks in Advance Bhagya Re: Adding and retrieving text data Anders Molin20-Sep-01 11:06 Anders Molin 20-Sep-01 11:06  What do you mean with the same format? If you mean that linebreaks are not shown on another asp page, just replace \r\n with <br> - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" Javascript variable problem Paul Goodyear17-Sep-01 5:54 Paul Goodyear 17-Sep-01 5:54  I have a page which I am trying to include my own context menu. When I click on a link it displays my menu with various option at this time I am able to get information from the tag but when I move the mouse over an item an click i loose that variable e.g. Link1 -->Item1 -->Item2 Link2 -->Item1 -->Item2 every menu is the same as all links do the same thing, i'm using the .srcElement to get the data from the Link tag, but the Item just returns a TD tag as it's in a table. Any ideas???? regards, pgudge Re: Javascript variable problem mortrr18-Sep-01 14:48 mortrr 18-Sep-01 14:48  Wouldn't the quick solution be to check which kind of element you get, and if it's a TD get the firstChild. Like: cElement=window.event.srcElement; if (cElement.tagName=="TD" && cElement.firstChild) { cElement=cElement.firstChild; } - Mort ASP Session variables Not Active16-Sep-01 15:22 Not Active 16-Sep-01 15:22  Forgive me if I am repeating myself, I've asked something similar before. Original question: Setting a session variable on one page has no effect on another page. I found a clue in that the SessionID changes between each pages. It would make sense then that session variables from one would not be available to the other. The question now is how do I keep the session between pages. Bearing in mind that I don't have complete control over the web server this site is being hosted on. The server is a W2K Server running IIS 5.0 Re: ASP Session variables Not Active17-Sep-01 7:43 Not Active 17-Sep-01 7:43  Duh, I found the problem (I think). On my test browser I had cookies disabled. Once I accepted cookies the variable was available to all pages. There is another question this raises though. In my gloabal.asa I created an instance of ADODB.Connection and set a Session variable to hold this. <br /> var Conn = null;<br /> vat ID = 0;<br /> <br /> function Session_OnStart()<br /> {<br /> C = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");<br /> C.Open(...)<br /> Session("Conn") = C;<br /> Session("ID") = 0;<br /> }<br /> With cookies disabled I could not persist the ID variable between pages, yet the Conn object was usable between pages. Can anyone explain this? javascript translator 111116-Sep-01 2:43 1111 16-Sep-01 2:43  has anyone got an app that will translate javascript into c or vb. a guide will do. IE Toolbar Wolfram Steinke15-Sep-01 16:00 Wolfram Steinke 15-Sep-01 16:00  I vaguely remember seeing something one day about changing the toolbar controls on IE with Java script or VB script from an HTML page. I know that will mean locking oneself into IE. If anyone knows how I would be interesting in hearing from you. Happy programming!! Re: IE Toolbar Paul Watson24-Sep-01 5:58 Paul Watson 24-Sep-01 5:58  Not a full answer this but the changes are done using CSS and not JavaScript or VBScript. Have a look at this article on CNET Builder about how to do it.

To call the function execCommand("FormatBlock" [, bUserInterface] [, vValue]) I need to know the possible vValues, which are different in each language edition!!! According to MSDN these can be retrieved by: "Call IOleCommandTarget::Exec with the IDM_GETBLOCKFMTS Command ID to obtain the current list of available block formatting commands that can be passed with the FormatBlock Command ID." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/constants/FormatBlock.asp) I know JavaScript but this is absolutely beyond my (current) spheres... Please help me, I am willing to learn. Thanks a lot! Regards, Dominik ActiveX WYSIWYG HTML Editor Paul Watson12-Sep-01 2:56 Paul Watson 12-Sep-01 2:56  Currently we have an online back-end Admin Suite for our site. It allows non-HTML coders to edit content on the site with ease. The control we are using is the built in HTML editor control that comes with Internet Explorer. It is pretty easy but we are finding it has some limitations i.e. Netscape support is lacking and the code it produces is not the best. I was wondering if anyone had an alternative control or any alternative ideas? thanks regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org Re: ActiveX WYSIWYG HTML Editor Nikhil Dabas23-Sep-01 8:47 Nikhil Dabas 23-Sep-01 8:47  the code it produces is not the best If you want finer control over the HTML, create it yourself, using the contenteditable attribute in IE 5.5 and above. Eg: <div contenteditable="true">Some editable text</div> You can then use stuff like innerHTML do write your own HTML. If you are using IE 5.5 or higher, you can edit this text. What's Netscape? "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one." - Senator Palpatine Re: ActiveX WYSIWYG HTML Editor Paul Watson25-Sep-01 22:21 Paul Watson 25-Sep-01 22:21  Well the whole point of the WYSIWIG back-end tool is so that non-HTML gurus can enter in content. But thanks LOL and I must have been on drugs when I wrote that bit about that funny programme called Netscape, I think I just made the name up... hallucinations again... regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes Re: ActiveX WYSIWYG HTML Editor Nikhil Dabas25-Sep-01 22:58 Nikhil Dabas 25-Sep-01 22:58  Sorry for not being clear in what I said. What I meant by 'create it yourself' was that the scripts on your edit page should create the HTML and put it in the DIV you marked as contenteditable. There are some good articles on MSDN about this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/en-us/dnmshtml/html/createwp.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnhtmau/html/leverageediting.asp?frame=true A list is only as strong as its weakest link. - Don Knuth Re: ActiveX WYSIWYG HTML Editor Jason Jystad24-Sep-01 12:11 Jason Jystad 24-Sep-01 12:11  Any chance I could get you to post some relevant links or some general info on using the IE control? I have a project in the offing that it might be useful in and I haven't seen any docs on using it. Thanks!

I need to write a highly controlled content editing system for an intranet. They all have IE so it sould like a good solution for me. As far as when I need it, no rush. When you get back would be fine. Just reply on here to something of mine so that I get the reminder e-mail. Or just e-mail me directly. Thanks a lot! Two weeks in London. Man I need to get out of this country for a while. I really do need to find another country to work in for a few years. Anyhow, thanks again and I look forward to the article!
