Great it does work, it just doesnt look like it does inside dreamweaver... thanks for all the help

What I am trying to do is make it so you can copy the code from my page and put it on myspace comments... I hate to show this, cuz its a lil vulgar or bad, but the thing i want to be able to use this for is at http://droppingthebomb.com/ecards/######/pony2.htm when i put the code inside the box, it looked like it was just showing it as it would on the web page, but i didnt upload it to try cuz i didnt think it would work... it looked something like this:<textarea><font color='FF0066' size='7'>Don't mind me,<br><a href='http://droppingthebomb.com'><embed img src='http://droppingthebomb.com/gfx/tampon.jpg'></a><br>I'm riding the cotton pony.</font></textarea>

Hi everyone, I am trying to make a <textarea> with code inside of it on my website, like they have here, and I know I have seen it on other sites. When I do it on my site, it always just runs the code, it will not let me just have the code so I can show what certain codes are... Can anyone help me please?

I remember a long while back, i always saw some one mention a space where you could get a free website from an asp host... can someone tell me where to go for that please

hi, this seems to be the same question i asked and was replied with an answer that worked great by Yahweh i think it was... this is the code and it works perfectly, also can see it under my post on this page last i looked called Password protecting pages... this is actually just copied from there <%Dim strPasswordstrPassword = request("password")if Password = "baby" then%> The rest of your page contents should go here.<%else%> <form action="<%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>" method="post"> What's the password:<br> <input type="password" name="password"> <p> <input type="Submit" value="Go!"> </p> </form><%end if%> You can make the password whatever you want to with line number 5

Hey, I guess what I mean is a Visual Studio type program... I used Dreamweaver on Windows so I could do the graphics and all... Now, besides the text editor I am not sure what to use to do this.

Hi, before when I was writing asp I was using Windows Operating System, I recently swiched back to Linux OS and I am having trouble writing asp using it. I am using the program called Nvu and it seems to only make HTML files. If there is anybody here that uses Linux and knows a good program that will help me, please reply and let me know. Thanks a lot.

Nevermind, I finally got it working.. thanks for all the help

Hey again, I am still having trouble with this code. It is like I get it so close to working then I run into another problem. Atleast now I am using a browser that lets me see where the error is, before it wouldnt tell me. I copied the code just to try to make it work and it is telling me that the ODBC Driver does not support this action.

Hi, I have been trying this code and I cant figure out. Yahweh, I have tried the code you gave me, and I havent gotten it to work. The statement in it that verifies the password and username seems to make it so its not in ASP code anymore for some reason, so I took that out. It still isnt working thought.. here is my code: <% Option ExplicitFunction SQLSecurity(myStr) SQLSecurity = Replace(myStr, "'", "''", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)End FunctionDim Username, PasswordUsername = cstr(request("username"))Password = cstr(request("password"))If Username = "" then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Invalid username."Elseif Password = "" then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Invalid password.&username=" & Username End IFDim Conn, RS, SQL, SuccessfulSet Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")SQL = "Select Username, Password, IPAddress, Email, DateRegistered FROM Users Where " & _ "Username = '" & SQLSecurity(Username) & "' Limit 1;" Conn.Open connection_ stringRS.Open SQL, Conn, 3, 3 If RS.EOF then RS.Addnew RS("Username") = Username RS("Password") = Password RS("IPAddress") = Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr") RS("DateRegistered") = Now RS.Update Response.Cookies("account")("Username") = Username Response.Cookies("account")("Password") = Password Response.Cookies("account").Expires = DateAdd("m", 12, Now()) Successful = TrueElse Successful = FalseEnd IfRS.CloseConn.CloseSet Conn = NothingSet RS = NothingIf Successful = True then%> <html> <body> <h1 align="center">Congrats!</h1> <p>Your account has been successfully created, <%=Request.Cookies("account")("username")%> :)</p> <p>Please go back to the <a href="default.asp">Home Page</a>, or you can edit your <a href="profile.asp">Profile</a>.</p> </body> </html><%Else response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Username is already taken." & _ "&username=" & usernameEnd If%> I will show you the link again, maybe there is another error that I am not seeing.

I started learning php a little while ago, I know very little. I already have a website, and I use MySql as my database. I started learning php here on the tutorials, but I am not so sure it answers my question. I dont know how to write the code for a signup.php page still even though I know a small amount of it. Basically the only code I have written in php was what I learned here on this site.

Hello all,I have been trying to get a signup.asp page and a signin page. I was unsuccessful at using it for some reason and it didnt work even after I reposted my problem, I ran into problem after problem. My point is, I figured I would try this in php code. Is there anybody that could help me out with writing a signup.php code. maybe some examples or even some other ideas.Thanks a lot

I am never the ones with answers... but, in line 9 it saysif(bunny) then... you wouldnt need the () and if bunny what? it doesnt know what you are saying i think.But, like i said, i am not one with all the answers.. but it doesnt seem to make any since to me, not trying to be mean or anything. Since you are using Bunny as a variable, you shouldnt need to use the () and your not telling it anything.

My problem is, when I use the exact code with my connection string, it says that the page cannot be displayed. Last time I sent a reply with a link and telling my problem, I some how fixed it before you even looked. So, ill show you the code that I am using and I will show you the link to it at the same time. <% Option ExplicitFunction SQLSecurity(myStr) 'This eliminates the risk of SQL injection SQLSecurity = Replace(myStr, "'", "''", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)End FunctionDim Username, PasswordUsername = cstr(request("username")) 'the cstr function explicitly casts thePassword = cstr(request("Password")) 'variable as a string.'Validating username and password.If Username = "" then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Invalid username."elseif Password = "" then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Invalid password.&username=" & username'elseif Len(username) < 3 then 'this checks to see that the username at least 3' 'characters long' response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Username must be at least" & _' "3 characters long.&username=" & username'elseif Len(password) < 3 then 'this checks to see that the password at least 3' 'characters long' response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Password must be at least" & _' "3 characters long.&username=" & usernameEnd ifelseif Len(username) > 25 then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Username cannot be longer than" & _ "25 characters.&username=" & usernameelseif Len(password) > 25 then response.redirect "signup.asp?msg=Password cannot be longer than" & _ "25 characters.&username=" & usernameEnd if'I've commented out the minimum username and password validations.

Anything I did?

Oh yea, and I am not sure how you wanted me to put in my connection string: Conn.Open you_connection_string How will I do this, make a Dim String maybe?

I have been trying this, but i get a strange error when i click the register button. It tells me that the page is unable to be displayed for some reason. This, of course, is on signup1.asp. Any idea?

Im not sure about asp, but I know that PHP has some pretty cool games. Gangwars is a pretty cool game built fully in php. Give it a look, its actaully pretty fun

Hey Yahweh,This is in reply to you asking if I needed help on any signup/signin.asp pages. I would love to have your help Thanks in advanced.

Great, now i have learned how to use the database and connect to it, very tuff stuff, but i have a small understanding for it now and it is working for the guestbook thing, thank god

to be honest, i could use help on those... i have tried many different things, i am the kind of person that only uses the code i write... i have only used codes from other people once i think, thats cuz it was a very confusing code. Here is my problem, I have mySQL database, but i am unsure of how exactly how to use it, its on another site, so i dont know how to connect to it. and then there is exactly how it all works, if you could help me, thanks greatly.

Wow, thats very good information. I am having trouble learning how to get into my database and such, like how to get people to sign up and create there own names. I mainly have trouble with it cuz i am unsure of how to code it correctly, but thats a whole nother problem thanks for your help on this one.

Hi again all, I know, I write on here a little to often. It's just that I learn so much from here :)I have this code that will password protect a page when using Internet Explorer, but it doesnt work when using almost any other browser (Netscape, Mozzilla...)This is the VBscript code i have written: <script type="text/vbscript"> password = Inputbox("Please enter the password:") do until password = "baby" msgbox "You have entered an incorrect password- Please try again." password = Inputbox("Please enter the password:") Loop</script> Maybe there is an asp code that I could use, or some way or another tweek this code to turn it into asp. Help please.

great it worked perfectly, thanks again for all the helpThis site is awsome, i have had so much help here from everyone, and its great to be able to get the help you need on code so fast.... thanks again

Thanks very much, i'll give that a shot
