Hello, from some times when I user firefox 2.x or safari on a

Hello Michael, I thankyou for your suggestion, I see on web

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.

Browser detection code for JSP ?

Hi ,
          Im new to JSP (in case the question wasn't a give-away!!).
          I would like to know how to do a browser detect - becuase I have
          1 CSS for IE and another for Netscape.
          Is there some code snippet site that I can get it from, or can
          someone post it here please> >?
          Thanks heaps
          ROb


try:
          request.getHeader("User-Agent")
          If you want to see it, do something like:
          Browser: <%= request.getHeader("User-Agent") %>
          Hope that helps.

Code Coloring, ASP/VBScript, & CS5

My IT area has set up the web server to process all .HTM files as if they were .ASP. Subsequently, I cannot view my HTM files as they would appear if they were "true" ASP files in Dreamweaver CS5. I applied the changes described in TechNote 16410 to MMDocumentTypes.xml (removing the HTM extension from the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the HTML InternalType and adding the HTM extension to the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the ASP-VBScript InternalType). I moved HTM in Extensions.txt from the HTML Documents line to the Active Server Pages line and I removed the backup I had made of MMDocumentTypes.xml from the Adobe directory.
Based on another posting in this forum regarding code coloring, I added <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> to the first line of my HTM (ASP) file.
No matter which file with the HTM extension I open in Dreamweaver, I get this message:
When this happens also I need to terminate Dreamweaver using Windows XP's Task Manager. File > Close, application "close" [X] button, Ctrl+Q and Alt+F4 do not work.

As far as I know (could be wrong here), DW does not allow you to alter the behavior of htm(l) files. The technote is aimed at adding new file types that DW doesn't already recognize.

ASP VBScript

I created a simple update ASP VBscript form in Dreamweaver 8.
However the connection to my DB no longer works if someone enters
quotation marks. The quotation marks appear in my DB however the
connection is then broken, I think this is because quotation marks
and apostrophes are classed as special characters. Can anyone
advise me how I can modify my code to replace them with double
apostrophes?
Dim MM_editCmd
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_connDB_STRING
MM_editCmd.CommandText = "UPDATE connDB SET title1 = ?,
body1 = ?, title2 = ?, body2 = ?, title3 = ?, body3 = ? WHERE body1
= ?"
MM_editCmd.Prepared = true
MM_editCmd.Parameters.Append
MM_editCmd.CreateParameter("param1", 202, 1, 50,
Request.Form("textfield"))
MM_editCmd.Execute
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close

ASP VBScript to XML RSS question

I'm just not getting this to work in ASP VBScript. I just want to loop the recordset so I have all the rows be translated into a xml based rss feed. What I have makes sense to me, but I only get the first record no matter what I try.
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>

<%
set rsJobs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsJobs.ActiveConnection = MM_cnConn_STRING
rsJobs.Source = "SELECT id, city, [state], jobtype, datePosted FROM DatabaseTable"
rsJobs.CursorType = 0
rsJobs.CursorLocation = 2
rsJobs.LockType = 3
rsJobs.Open()
rsJobs_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = -1
Repeat1__index = 0
rsJobs_numRows = rsJobs_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
<%
response.write "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>"
response.write "<rss version=""2.0"">"
response.write "<channel>"
response.write "<title></title>"
response.write "<link>/</link>"
response.write "<description></description>"
%>
<%
While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT rsJobs.EOF))
%>
<%
response.write "<item>"
response.write "<title>" & (rsJobs.Fields.Item("jobtype").Value) & "</title>"
response.write "<description>" & (rsJobs.Fields.Item("city").Value) & ", " & (rsJobs.Fields.Item("state").Value) & "</description>"
response.write "<link>domain</link>"
response.write "<pubDate>" & (rsJobs.Fields.Item("dateposted").Value) & "</pubDate>"
response.write "</item>"
%>
<%
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
rsJobs.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
<%
response.write "</channel>"
response.write "</rss>"
%>
<%
rsJobs.Close()
Set rsJobs = Nothing
%>

Just giving it a casual look I don't see why it is not working. But why are you declaring all of those counters and then not using them? Seems to overly complicate things. I would get rid of all references to:
rsJobs_numRows
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
and then change the while loop test to:
While (NOT rsJobs.EOF)
It shouldn't really matter, since your counter used in the while test starts at -1 and is decremented so it should never = 0, but still, it's confusing to read.
And of course, verify that the select statement actually returns more than one row. Use the recordcount property of the recordset.

Browser Detection Kit

I have a site with several flash buttons. I can see them in
IE but not Fiirefox or Netscape. I have re-downloaded Flash Player.
This is the page:
http://trainedwhistle.com/Audio_Books.html.
I have found references to the Flash Browser Detection Kit on this
sire but none of the links work. can anyone help me?

I get a 404 error when trying your link.
Can you check it and re-post.

Simple call to stored function from asp (vbscript) adodb

please let me know if this question would be better suited to another forum.
i am simply attempting to call an oracle stored function that returns a varchar2 from an asp vbscript page using adodb. i have calling of stored procedures working fine.
attempting to call the function with the following code:
set sp_aprvd_cr = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
sp_aprvd_cr.ActiveConnection = MM_MHR_CONN_STR_STRING
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandType = 4
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandTimeout = 0
sp_aprvd_cr.Prepared = true
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandText = "PMS.sp_hpmsq054_aprvd_cr"
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("IP_PMSPT_ID", 200, 1,10,sp_aprvd_cr__P_PMSPT_ID)
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("return_param", adVarchar, adParamOutput)
set rst_aprvd_cr = sp_aprvd_cr.Execute
suspect that preparing the return code is where i am having troubles.
any examples or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Return value from stored function must be the first parameter in the parameters collection.
So, try this instead,
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("return_param", adVarchar, adParamOutput)
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("IP_PMSPT_ID", 200, 1,10,sp_aprvd_cr__P_PMSPT_ID)Cheers,

¿How i make a Browser Detect swf movie?

Hi, i use a simple embed swf movie in one of many pages i own, but recently I build a new page in html5. But i tested in Internet Explorer and doesnt work well. What i need its a script code in AS3 to use in my swf movie that detect the browser and if the browser its IE9 load an old page, but if its other browser is like mozilla or chrome, load the new page in html5.
It is possible to do that in AS3 right?
Thanks to all

You can simply say "I want an animation to play before it decides which page to load" and we'd get it. So you want to show your logo animation.
Use the tutorial link I gave you and look at the code. It is a full example of browser detection using both actionscript and javascript. ActionScript needs JavaScript to get the information on what browser it is. All of the information and code examples are there to show you how to detect the browser.
Spanish translation:
Usted puede simplemente decir "yo quiero una animación para jugar antes de que decida lo que se cargue la página" y que sería para nosotros. Así que usted quieremostrar su animación de la insignia.
Utilice el enlace tutorial que te di y mirar el código. Se trata de un ejemplo completo dela detección del navegador utilizando tanto ActionScript y JavaScript. ActionScriptnecesita JavaScript para obtener la información del navegador que es. Todos los ejemplos de la información y el código están ahí para mostrar la forma de detectar el navegador.

Update multiple records with Update Command Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - ASP VBScript

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - Language ASP – VBScript
I’m trying to update more than one record at a time
using checkboxes. I’ve successfully done this numerous times
prior to Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Before Dreamweaver 8.0.2, I would create a page with a
recordset, form, checkbox and repeat region and pass the ID to
another page containing an ‘Update Command’. The code
on the Update page looked similar to the following:
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (" +
Replace(spMemberApproving__MMColParam, "'", "''") + ")"
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
However, in Dreamweaver 8.0.2 when you fill out the Update
Command dialog box, Dreamweaver asks you to provide the
‘Type’ and ‘Size’ for the variables (see:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4e6b330a
That being said and done, the code on the Update page looks
like the following:
<%
' IIf implementation
Function MM_IIf(condition, ifTrue, ifFalse)
If condition = "" Then
MM_IIf = ifFalse
Else
MM_IIf = ifTrue
End If
End Function
%>
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
Set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (?) "
spMemberApproving.Parameters.Append
spMemberApproving.CreateParameter("MMColParam", 202, 1, 10,
MM_IIF(Request.QueryString("MemberID"),
Request.QueryString("MemberID"), spMemberApproving__MMColParam
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
The Update Command works perfectly when only 1 record is
being updated. However, when I try to update more than one record I
get the following error:
Error Type:
ADODB.Command (0x800A0D5D)
Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current
operation.
/issues_manager/admin/members_approving.asp, line 27
Can anyone help me out?

Yes, this is a bug in Dreamweaver 8.0.2. The only workaround
is to stay with
8.0.1 or to hand-code the query. Adobe removed most of the
useful ways to
use Commands and Recordsets in 8.0.2 and limited it to basic
queries.

Unsupported Browser Detected

On three computers (since we updated adobe this last time) when we try to open a PDF file, we get the following message-
"Unsupported Browser Detected
PDF Compatibility Mode requires Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows or better
If you are not sure whether a supported browser is installed on your computer, please contact your system administrator. PDF Compatibility can be toggled on/off in your System Configuration settings."
I have IE10, Windows 7 (on this system) and XP on the other two. I have re-downloaded both acrobat and flash a few times now, went into the registry key to delete the "creative update" as was suggested on another thread (it was not there), and tried earlier versions. I also downloaded firefox as a browser as was also suggested... no go. I was also told that a 32 bit browser like Chrome would work. It didn't.
After three days of troubleshooting, re-downloading, etc., I am at my wits end.
HELP PLEASE

If the site only works with older versions of Firefox try it with Firefox 3.6
You may wish to try Firefox Portable, you can then use that for the problem site, and continue to use Firefox 8, or 9 for day to day browsing. (I think Firefox 9 is due out as a new Release today).

Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility for server side browser detection

          Hi
          Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility or package for server side browser
          detection i.e. to know the browser details
          of the client with the first request.
          One such available product is BrowserHawk(http://www.cyscape.com).
          any thing similar to this available?
          Thanks in advance
          Mrutyunjay


Hey Mohammed,
          yes, you could use just wl server to do file uploading. in your html client
          code, you need to specify the type of the data that you are sending as
          follows:
          <form action="UploadTestServlet" enctype="multipart/form-data" method=POST>
          File: <input type=file name=file><br>
          <input type=submit>
          </form>
          This will send your file to be processed by the UploadTestServlet. You need to
          code UploadTestServlet yourself to parse and extract useful data. check out
          www.servlets.com for a utility class that does just that

ASP VBScript producing Dreamweaver Javascript Error Messages

Do almost anything in Dreamweaver CS4 with ASP VBScript seems to produce javascript error messages. can be a blank page, and you try to create a recordset... error box, error box, and then the code gets inserted but is not in the server behaviors panel. i'm usually working in php and have never had this problem, but it's quite annoying to work that way... being forced to hand code a lot simple because dreamweaver isn't working correctly.
warning one:
the following javascript error(s) occurred:
warning two:
while executing findServerbehaviors in Recordset.htm, a JavaScript error occurred
deleted .dat file and restarted dreamweaver, per some discussions via google... did nothing.

anyone know how to fix this issue with dreamweaver?

Browser detection script

Hello,
I'm wondering how playback in Flash or on older browsers work. Does the published content run a browser detection script?
Thank you.

Actually this seems to work better:
if (accept.indexOf("vnd.wap.wml") >= 0) {
// I have a WAP browser...
}I thought Opera (being WML compatible) would load the WML content, but thankfully it does not broadcast it in the Accept header.
Thanks.

IE6-only browser detect?

How do I insert code to detect ONLY IE6? This seems to be the
only major browser that messes up my design.
http://descom.org/okay/home.html
Thanks!

Use IE Conditional Comments instead. Browser detection is
pretty
unreliable. To read more about IE CC's Google it.
