Make sure you have Front Page Server Extensions installed.

What am I doing wrong?

First port of call is: Open Internet Explorer (or *cough* Netscape *cough* if you use that instead) and type in http://[your computer name]/

If you get an IIS under construction/administration page or a list of sub-folders then it is working and you have other problems.

If you do not get anything then try http://127.0.0.1/, if that does not work then go Tools \ Internet Options \ Connections \ LAN Settings \ Advanced and make sure your computer name is written into the "Do not use proxy server for addresses begining with:"

If that does not help then... sorry can't help further Hmmm | :|

Thanks guys - the Front Page Server Extensions were installed but needed configuration. Once I had done that, whoopee!
Now I'm off into the dark and mysterious world of Web Project development.

thanks again for your time.

Remote Scripting Problem

I am using Remote Scripting but I encounter a problem in passing large amount of data. Remote Scripting will not pass more than 2083 character from Client page to ASP page.
This article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q274852)describe the problem in detail.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem ?
What are the alternative technologies to Remote Scripting to pass large data?

thanks,
Sanjeev.

Is this an Intranet or Internet type application (i.e. do you know exactly which browser and version is used)? If the client definitely has MSXML 3 (which comes with IE5.5+), you could try the XMLHTTP object.

SSL...?

Anybody know of any good links for descriptions/info on SSL...?

Also...someone please tell me I am right.

Using SSL you can basically promise clients that any form data whether GET/POST is encrypted using 128 bits encryption before leaving their client computer and then decrypted upon arrival to the server...?

Is That all there is to it...? I had a friend explain the idea behind it once and he made it sound like you had to encrypt the data using a module (JScript=Client/Perl=Server). However the more I read the more I think...you don't actually do this...and thats why you pay $$$ for SSL...?

Basically if I coded a order-entry form so long as the site is SSL enabled I basically don't have to do any additional coding...correct...?

Just HTML form and submit...?

Thanx...

Yes, assuming both client and server support 128bit encryption. Some older programs support only 40-bit encryption.
The part of SSL you need to pay $$$ for is the "server certificate", a digital ID that proves the server's identity to the client.

Thanx for the input...or is that output...? Poke tongue | ;-P

Which browsers support only 40 bit encryption...?

Doesn't matter...basically all I needed to know is how SLL works or atleast an intro...

I have some explaining to do for some potential clients and thought it'd be a great idea to get the gist of it before pulling any sales pitch.

Thanx! Smile | :)

Is this on the client side? If so have a search on MSDN for "Browser helper objects."

I need a script that when the mouse moves over a link a picture(located someplace else on the page) changes. Kind of like a preview type deal.

Preventing ASP Blocks being processed

18-Mar-02 11:37

Preload images like this:

if (document.images) 
{
  image1 = new Image();
  image1.src = "images/image1.gif";
	
  image2 = new Image();
  image2.src = "images/image2.gif";
}

Add function to swap images:

function SwapImage(TargetImageName, SourceImageName) 
{
  if (document.images) 
     document[TargetImageName].src = eval(SourceImageName+".src");
}

Call it like this:

<img src="something.gif" OnMouseOver="SwapImage('targetImg1','image2');" OnMouseOut="SwapImage('targetImg1','image1');">

I hope this helps.

I have an ASP page which contains a couple of ASP blocks. I want to know if there is any way in which I can tell the IIS ASP processor not to process certain blocks? e.g. Block A, process, Block B, process, Block C, don't process, Block D, process.

Ta.

I've always thought that this is what IF statements are for... Smile | :)

If I need to temporary comment a block of code in ASP I usually do this:

If False Then
    .....
    ' Code I don't want anymore
    .....
End If

Laugh | :laugh:

True.

Ok let me explain this again.

I don't want the ASP processor to process the blocks, but I do want the actual ASP code to be sent through to the browser as is. So an If statement unfortunatley does not work, as it simply excludes the ASP from the HTML stream bit.

Here you go again with your strange questions... Smile | :)

If this is not going to dynamically change (you never process block D, but always process blocks A, B and C) all you need to do is remove or HTMLEncode <% and %> brackets around the block D.

If it will dynamically change you can save blocks in separate files and programmatically ether execute them via Server.Execute or read them from files as text and Response.Write them to client.

I hope this helps.

Nearly there Smile | :)

The problem is that HTMLEncode changes <% to &<pa>lt;, which I don't want as the un-processed ASP is going into an editable DIV element which is then, on form submit, sent back to the server to be saved in a database. Then later on that "content" is turned into an actual ASP file and run as per usual.

Maybe some background will help: I am letting people enter in content and some of that content will be ASP. When they are editing a page naturally the ASP content they put in must not be processed (otherwise they will see the output, not the actual ASP when they edit) but when the page is published then the ASP is run.

Yup, more strange questions, I am building a flying-time machine... Wink | ;)
