Need to update a record on page load. How? (ASP/VBScript)

The standard Update Record behavior requires a form on the page, plus a recordset to identify the value to be updated. In my scenario, the value for the record to be updated is already in the URL as the ID. I just don't know how to write it myself and Dreamweaver won't do this.
The page I want to do this on is a record detail page, so there is already a record ID already present in the querystring. The record is new until a user views it, and what I need is something that just writes a simple value to one field in the table for the record being viewed. This is it in a nutshell:
Using the value from the ID in the URL querystring, update the "viewed" field in a specific table with the value of "y".
This would be the first operation as the page loads and then the page would load and show the data that it already does.
I'd be happy with raw code is someone is generous enough to provide that, or perhaps some instructional help on reverse engineering the standard update record code generated by Dreamweaver. Or, if you know of any extensions designed to do this - I'd be interested in that too!
My app I'm working on is in ASP/vbscript.
Subject line edited by moderator to indicate server model

Good point! I wasn't thinking about how that would make the app vulnerable to sql injection.
The function I want to perform is similar to how an email changes from unread to read when you view it. I simple want the records being viewed to take on the status of being read or "viewed". Perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way, but I've been planning to use a database field as the indicator of whether a record has a viewed status or not. Null value is new, and a value of "y" (yes) meaning the value is viewed/read.
If you have a better recommendation, I'm all ears.

Update record on page load

I need to update a record on page load. Basically, I need to
keep track of new content for users, so if they've viewed it, it
changes the viewed column from 0 to 1. any suggestions?

I guess there is no requirement for a stored procedure here,
though, is
there? You could just have code on the page that executes
before the <html>
tag to update that record, no?

I need to update specific records(of variable lengths) in a file. I can get the correct record but when I update it(add info), it overwrites part of the record following it. I am using labview 6.0

I need to update specific records(of variable lengths) in a file. I can get the correct record but when I update it(add or change info), it overwrites part of the record following it. I am using labview 6.0. I need to be able to insert information into the middle of a file without disturbing the data before and after

It's hard to give more specifics without more detail, but in general you're going to need to read in the entire file, split it into three pieces (everything before the record of interest, the record itself, and everything after the record of interest), modify the record, reassemble the three pieces in proper order, and write the whole thing back to the file.Of course if the file is very large you might not want to actually implement it this way, but conceptually at least, this is what you are looking at.If this file some sort of proprietary format?Mike...PS: this type of issue is why I really like databases...

My HT BDV-N790W shows "needs network update" also my netflix doesnt load. Can i get some help, please.

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article

I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

Need to update mutli record in oracle forms - Urgent please

Hi,
We are using Oracle apps release 11i - Oracle forms 6i.
I have a field "project_start_date" in project_block in a custom form. There is another multi-record block called role_block in the same custom form and it has a field named start_date. Requirement is when ever I make change in the project_start_date in project_block, that should reflect in role_block.start_date. I tried different means and could update only the very first record of the multi-record block - role_block. I need to update all the records in the role_block with the same project_start_date. Used looping and several other methods. But could not achieve. Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Old JSP pages loading // how to get new ones?

I am new to the forum and hope that experts can help. I am running a JSP application on an Apache/tomcat setup.
I encounter the problem that although I update a webpage (say 'example.jsp') with a date of 12 Jan 2009, the server continues to use a version of the page from many days before.
Miscellaneous point: these pages are being accessed by jsp:include and jsp:forward.
It seems like there is a hidden cache somewhere that the server likes to use in place of my updated pages.
I'd be pleased for any solutions!

Thanks everyone for the very helpful replies.
There were a total of 4 problem files.
Here are the results based on the suggestions received:
1. The suggestion of deletion of the .java and .class files (to be regenerated automatically from the .jsp files) fixed 3 of the problems: " Occasionally, we get one that just wont recompile and I have to delete it from the work directory. A JSP is turned into a .java file and then compiled in to a .class file in this directory. Deleting it will cause the file to recompile. [tomcat home]/work/catalina/localhost/[war directory name]/org/apache/[path to the file]." I was a bit wary to delete the entire directory, but I went for it, and everything (including the numerous subdirectories) was automatically regenerated.
2. There was still 1 problem file. I think that this file was somehow in the RAM of tomcat because the suggestion to shut everything down and restart took care of this last file: "Along with webapps folder in tomcat, there is a work folder. Open work.catalina.localhost. In localhost, you will find your application. Delete it. Deleting it will not cause any problem. Now again restart tomcat. Now you should get the new pages loaded."
3. The following suggestion seems to be a very good one for my application (i.e., low traffic on a specialized site) that could prevent similar problems in the future: "If this is for development only and you´re using Tomcat, consider to set <context reloadable="true">. This will check for changes in the webapps folder at certain intervals and automagically redeploy/reload the changes. Don´t use this setting in production, it´s fairly expensive to let it check the webapps everytime. For other appservers, consult the appserver specific documentation for similar settings."
Coming to this community was a very good idea with lots of excellent suggestions that fixed my problem! I had been frustrated by this for some months now. Thanks everyone!

When I log into my PC to update my acct it says I cannot due to I need to update my iTunes version on my iPhone. How!

It's talking about iTunes. The program that runs on your computer. Not iOS, the operating system on your phone.
On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes
Download and install version 10.7. It is required to sync with iOS 6.

Need to rotate a swf on page load???

Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I have a swf file embeded in a web page design.
Now here’s the issue, the client wants to add more photos to it making it even larger.
I would prefer not to make it larger but create 2 or 3 swf files that would randomly load when the webpage is refreshed or reloaded.
Is there a way to code a random swf loading in HTML?
Would I use javascript? I googled and found nothing on the subject.
Thank you

Would you recommend php or javascript to achieve my goal.
I think that depends on your site and your comfort level with code. If you're building .php pages, use PHP scripts. If your building .htm or .html pages, JavaScript might be a better choice.
Sadly, my Twitter account is not exactly a hot bed of activity. I'll try to make an effort to post some things of interest once in a while. :-)

Need to update content on web page in real time...

Hi all,
I am using jsp with struts to display some information in a web page.
Let's imagine i am displaying a list of stocks and its price in a web page. I want to upload the price of the stock as they are changing. I like to do it in a smart way: it is... i don't like to refresh the whole page every x seconds, i just like to change the value of the field that changed in the server in real time.
Which are your suggestions? My coworked told me to hava a look in Ajax... What do you think about it?
Thanks,
Dani.

Well first thing which i wanna emphasise on AJAX is not the replacement of this it still uses similar logic refreshing of X secs.
Rather instead of refreshing the whole page one would only refresh a view.
If you are using looking at a solution to achieve via struts here is where you should go in read it and look for a solution.
