Capturing user IP and date into SQL Server database

Hello, I have been tasked with getting a disclaimer on a page along with an attached database. So when the user accesses my webpage he will say yes he agrees thereby capturing his IP address and the date. If he says no nothing happens. I was told that ASP has does this very well. I was wonder if someone could give me some code or direct me to get me started.

Thanks.

CSS background image resize

I cant figure out how to make the background image smaller to fit inside the window. I'm doing it in CSS and here is what it looks like right now:
<body style="background: url(G:\My Documents\RyanKlein.com\images\cs10.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: center center;">
Can anyone tell me what tag it is to make it so it will automaticly resize the background?

Thanks much,
Ryan

Does anybody has a full RegEx in Javascript to test http urls?

Tnx!

Try this fairly crude pattern match...

(\s|\n|^)(\w+://[^\s\n]+)

For future reference, visit www.regexlib.com[^] to see if someone has already done the leg-work.

You can also test them @ http://www.regexlib.com/RETester.aspx[^]

Hope this helps,

Yes, thanks, I know the page, it has great RegExs, but I was looking foward for something more 'Standard', like from w3.org, or IEEE, or so.

Because that expression isn't at all accurate for the use I want to give to it.

For example: http://HelloMyNameIsMariano matches with it. I'm looking for expression for Internet URL Addresses.

Thanks anyway. What I'm doing now is a System.Net.WebRequest, that way I can be sure the address is good and exists!

Bye!!!

A regex may tell you if its syntactically good, but it wont tell you that it exists Confused | :confused:

What I meant is that you can evaluate "http://www.thisaddressdoesnotexists.com" and it will work fine.

But with the WebRequest you'll have an URINotFoundException.

See what I'm saying? Regex wont test if it exists on the web, but WebRequest will. That's what I tried to say.

Hi, is possible to know with a var if a images from a url as "http:/direc.com/img.gif" exist? how could i know if this image exists ?

thanks

Set a IMG tag to the source you indicate above. In the image tag I believe you can specifiy onload.

In onload check the WIDTH/HEIGHT properties. If they're not Zero the image exists.

Note: If I remember correctly an IMG won't return HEIGHT/WIDTH properties if the IMG tag is hidden.

I used this approach in a form submission to check the size of an image on the client before uploading, it should work for you too..

Hi! In wich language are you coding???

I'll assume you're coding in C#. I'll assume also you want to know if the file exists in a remote Internet address.

<br />
Uri uri = new Uri("http:/direc.com/img.gif");<br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
    System.Net.WebRequest wr = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(uri);<br />
    wr.GetResponse();<br />
}<br />
catch(UriFormatException e)<br />
{<br />
    //Handle inexistence of image.<br />
}<br />

Hope is usefull to you!

Page was cached and cannot be updated

I've created a web service which read a web page (an .htm file) using HttpWebRequest, and HttpWebResponse classes. The Internet connection go through a proxy server. The problem I encountered was that it returned cached content rather than update-to-date content. It's the same for the browser. When I type in the URL in the browser, it also return a cached page. However, it can be resolved by pressing the refresh button to requery the web site. The question is, does anyone know how can I programmatically force to refresh the web page in my web service to simulate the same behavior?

Parent Window, Child Window Issue

Hi There,

I have an ASP.NET page. I open a child window using the JavaScript function. When the parent closes, the child closes. When the parent refreshes, it loses the variable name of the open child window. So, I can't do anything with it afterwards. I know that you can use a hidden frame to keep track of the variables. Is there any way to maintain functionality without using hidden frames?

Thanks in advance.

Disappearing Currency Text - £

LeeOvEngland12-Oct-04 5:18

I have a small web application that allows a user to enter a description into a textbox. The description looks something like this:

'The car is blue and costs £5,000. What a bargain.'

When the user presses submit the value entered into the textbox is assigned to a string.

Once the page has reloaded the '£' symbol has disappeared. I have tried it with other currency symbols and they work fine. Please can somebody tell me why the '£' symbol does not assign to the string and if there is a work around.

Thank You

in the web.config set the "timeout" attribute of the sessionstate element. eg.

<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=sa;password=" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

will expire the session after 20 minutes.

hope this helps.

Hi,

As well as the above solution, if you wanted the page to automatically navigate back to the logon screen (say if someone left the page open for too long), then insert the following meta tags in your HTML pages

<html>
...
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="600; URL=http://my.site/login.aspx">
...
<body>
...

This would navigate back to the login page after 10mins has elapsed.

Hope this helps,
Andy

hi all i am using dreamweaver to create an asp site and i ve too questions
1- how can i validate a date enterd in a textbox
2- how can i make the password confirmation part whiel a user wants to change his/her password.

these might be a piece of cake but its making mw go crazy

Re: date validation

alex.barylski11-Oct-04 18:08

Your first question:

3 options...

1) Use a JS date picker control so it's entered one way always and only...still have to check that on the server side though eh...
2) Manually parse (splitting on a period or slash) and run some basic checks.
3) Use regex or existing library/framework...like http://www.dithered.com/javascript/form_validation/usage.html[^]

As for your second question...i'm not clear what exactly you want...???

Prompt the user using javascript like

var ret = prompt("Are you sure you want to change your password");

if(ret){
  location.href = "pwd_chg.php?newpwd="+oForm.pwd;
else
  alert("Password change aborted!!!");
}

How do I print my voice mail?

A quick'n'dirty solution to validate a date on the server side:

/* needed to parse DateTime-Values (for Germany) */
protected IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("de-DE", true);
protected string[] expectedFormat = {"D", "d"};
/***********************************/

private bool ValidateDateString(string dateString) {

try {
DateTime validationDate = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString,
expectedFormat, culture, DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces);
}
catch {
return(false);
}

return(true);
}

Dear all,

I would like to display real time data ( from sensors ) on the web.

The refresh rate I would like to achieve is 1 Hz. I have got solution using the meta refresh HTML, but it is not convenient for refresh rate smaller than 1 minute.

Any idea/advise ? any direction to look at ? Web service or web form ?

Thanks for help,

loic
