Training: ASP/Forms/Database

Where do I begin? I am a Dreamweaver user (approx 5 years). Now need to learn how to connect my site using DW to a SQL Database. Need an overall understanding/overview of asp/forms/database. The site I am working on has forms created in DW using ASP. How to get the data captured in the form to transfer to the database. Thanks much.

Was this a bump?
I also had to re-learn...I started using DW back when it was a Macromedia product (around 1998 and later) and the web standard was still static HTML and XHTML. Needless to say, those were the extent of my language repertoire (looked at ASP at the time but didn't feel it was necessary). I left the web design scene somewhere around the time MX2004 came out and had moved on to other things but stayed using the entire Macromedia design series to this date (I currently use CS5).
I had recently been asked to help out with a website and it was suggested that it be a dynamic site with php and a mysql database. I wanted to hold on to my geek badge so I started learning php and mysql (still learning). I found that the best way to learn these languages is W3Schools. That is an awesome reference and education site and they've been around for 10+ years. I used W3Schools and jumped from php/sql forum to php/sql forum for help with specific problems I ran into with coding. Forums are indispensable for getting the help you need but you should be looking at language-speciic forums (php,ASP,sql,CF...). Fortunately php and mysql are relatively easy languages to learn and if you have any web design background, you should be able to self-learn with little difficulty.
Good luck.

Asp and databases

I am a novice at asp and have been working with an
administrator to build an asp form that submits an order to a
database. For illustration purposes, this form is allows a user to
make a purchase based on a certain amount of "dollars". When the
user accesses the form, the database should be displaying how many
"dollars" the user has left, so they know how much they have to
spend. My form is successfully accessing the database and updating
it based on the purchase, but I do not know the code or script
required to display the "dollars" currently available. Can someone
help me with this? Thanks so much!

Right now I have it set up so it points to the same server.
Here are my settings:
Under the advanced tab-
Remote Info:
Access = FTP
FTP Host = xxxxxx
Host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxxx
Password = xxxxxx
Testing Server
Server Model = ASP VBScript
Access = FTP
FTP host = xxxxxx
host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxx
Password = xxxxxx
On both accounts the ftp host and the host directory are the
same.
I don't receive any errors when I finish. Alos everything
tests correctly to the server.

Trying to create a XML file from an ASP Form

I have an ASP form on my website that generates a XML data
file, but there are a few problems with it. First, when I generate
the file, it creates a new file every time a user clicks on
"Submit" and I would like the data to just be appended to a
particular, existing XML file...how can I append the data to the
XML file? The code I am currently using is shown below.
Secondly, I need to nest/repeat certain fields within the XML
file. Basically, I want the XML file to look like this (I
simplified the code for ease of writing, so don't bother with the
syntax):
<Recipe>
<RecipeName>
<SubmittedBy>
<Ingredients>
<Amount>
<Unit>
<Ingredient>
<Description>
<Directions>
<Recipe>
<RecipeName>
etc...
How would I create a form that would create that type of XML
file? Think of a MS Access form with linked subforms, but I don't
want to repeat more data than I have to.
Any advice or help would be very appreciated!!! Also, if you
know of a 3-party product that might solve this for me, I am open
to that also!
Thanks!!!

Reset .asp form on page load

I produced an .asp fillable form in DWCS5 using ASP Form 2 Email extension. Worked very well. Problem -- ONLY with IE. When I "submit" the form, I get the "success" page. If I hit the back button on the browser, all the form info is still there. I inserted the "pragma" meta into the <head> and it resolved the problem in all browsers EXCEPT IE. Any suggestions as to how I can force the cache to clear on page load? Or, maybe a way to disable the "back" button on the browser when the success page has appeared?

Perhaps you're not phrasing your question correctly, but what
you're
suggesting is nonsense/not necessary. A form is designed for
user input.
If you want the form to be submitted when the page loads, the
user has
no opportunity to enter any input before it's submitted. If
you don't
want any user input, there is no need to submit a form. You
simply write
a PHP script that runs automatically when the page loads.
Forms play no
role in your scenario.

How to track an ASP form

My friend and I are trying to find a script that enables us
to track the asp form sent to us with its own specific number. With
either numbers or letters, so far we have not been able to do
either. We have a webform on a server, so when somebody fills out
the form out and when it is sent to us we want the email with the
information filled out with its own specific number. Please
help...Thank You

Hi VLN,
Use external breakpoint for Debuging ---> keep in mind that both the userid should belong to the same user (user name should be same on portal as well as ECC.60).

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

Error in ASP Form

Hi
I have put a very basic .asp form to mail on a contact page
but when the form is processed, the only info received are the
labels (i.e. Email Address, Name, Message etc.) but no actual

grateful for some asp wizard to give me a few pointers.

Oracle University Instructor led Training Feedback Form

Can anybody forward me the Oracle University Instructor led training feedback form's soft copy ?????
PLS ?????????

As with other things, you get out of certification only what you put into it. Those without honor will get the certificate by any means they can, thinking that it is the ticket to a high paying job. I would hope that employers by now have an interview process that will target these people for the frauds that they are. If they do make it past the interview process, well, that is what the probationary period is for. Most companies that I have been involved with have had a hiring policy that says they can let you go in the first ninety days for any reason or for no reason. And lying about your experience is grounds for termination any time. Their phony certifications won't save them if they are unable to do the job.
It costs a lot of money for a company to hire someone and a credit report, background check, verification of past work history and reference check are all part of the cost of that hiring. If a security clearance is required as a condition of employment, it can cost tens of thousands of dollars to complete. Companies are willing to spend the time and money to accomplish these things to eliminate the liars and frauds. I would not hesitate to report any fraudulent activity that involved the certification process. To not do so cheapens it. Oracle has taken a step in the right direction by instituting the ILT requirement which has probably weeded out a few pretenders. Maybe more steps will be forthcoming.

Cannot preview ASP JavaScript database pages anymore

I've lost my ability to preview my ASP JavaScript database
pages on MX 2004. They upload fine, just can't preview them. Error
ASP 0129 - The scripting language 'JAVASCRIPT' is not found on the
server.
I recently installed a trial version of DW CS4 on an external
drive, but am now wondering if dll files were overwritten in the
process that affected MX 2004. I've since uninstalled CS4 and
cleaned up the registry, but the problem still exists.
My other computer previews fine with same IIS settings and AV
protection. So it’s something within DW on my computer that
has a glitch and the only thing I can think of is the installation
of CS4 jolted MX 2004 and now ASP JavaScript is not recognized.
Is there a repair tool for Dreamweaver? If not, and I
reinstall OVER the current installation of MX 2004, will I lose any
settings, and will I have to reinstall updates and extensions? Any
other suggestions are appreciated!

I cannot find anything of assistance and would appreciate it enormously if anyone could kindly point me in the right direction with this.

Trouble with ASP and databases

Hi,
I am trying to create a form in Dreamweaver 8 so my customers
can enter their information and save it to a sql server database. I
am able to set up the connection to the database using ASP VB. I
can create the fields and which records it will update, but as soon
as I save it, I no longer have access to the database. I can't even
add a new one. In the database window the plus sign is greyed out.
It tells me "To preview pages containing server-side code, you need
a testing server. Would you like to specify one now?" The page is
located under the correct site. I can upload it but when I punch in
the info, it gives me a page not found.
Everything works fine until I save the file.
Plese help!

Right now I have it set up so it points to the same server.
Here are my settings:
Under the advanced tab-
Remote Info:
Access = FTP
FTP Host = xxxxxx
Host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxxx
Password = xxxxxx
Testing Server
Server Model = ASP VBScript
Access = FTP
FTP host = xxxxxx
host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxx
Password = xxxxxx
On both accounts the ftp host and the host directory are the
same.
I don't receive any errors when I finish. Alos everything
tests correctly to the server.

Passing asp form data to a .jsp string

Hello and thanks in advance for any help.
I would like to pass form information that comes from a standard form into a URL string as follows:
"http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/wdk/API_AddSiteVisitor.jsp?loginName=benefitevents&loginPassword=connoisseur&ea=[email protected]&ic=test&first_name=Joe&last_name=smith"
I would then like to pass that string forward to its final destination.
Some more info.
Form data is collected on "register.asp" and then passed to "register1.asp" using form method="post" action="register1.asp".
On register1.asp the form info is processed and delivered to the SQL database.
I am only a beginner with the code (it was done by a programmer who is mostly absent when needed now).
So, I need to know as much of the following as you can help with (in descending priority):
1. How to pass the .jsp string forward assuming the proper variables have been passed in the asp code.
2. Where should this command live, in register.asp or register1.asp?
3. How to correctly insert the variables in the URL string from form (correct syntax using asp).
As may be obvious this is for one registrant at a time. The object is deliver the registration information to my SQL database and, at the same time, pass some info to a Constant Contact list. This allows me to integrate Constant Contact into my services to clients seamlessly.
Thank you, hope this was not too much info!
Jim

Javascript is not the same as Java.
There are JS related forums at webdeveloper.com. But I would rethink about the JS approach. It should also be able with ASP and I would prefer that.

ASP form reads from access, can't write

I am a complete ASP noob. I use ColdFusion and ASP has proven
to be a pain I wish I would have never touched. I need to add a
simple contact form to the end of an ASP page to capture basic
info.
When the page loads, all is well. In fact, the page is able
to perform a query of the database and get some list options to
populate the form. Once I complete the form and hit submit, it
posts the form and generates an internal server error 500.
I built the form using the built in Dreamweaver actions. It
is set up to be an ASP VB file, though I get errors with ASP JS. I
think the server is configured right, since the page loads and
performs the query. I could be wrong. The database is Access and I
have the permissions set for IIS to have the ability to write to
the database.
What do I need to look for?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

See if this helps:
