asp form question - html

I have this form
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/asp/formd.asp" method="post" target="_blank">
so the asp looks like below,
it opens a new window where ot says "send ok"
my question is how and where can I contro/define the style of this new window i.e background fonts color etc
thanks
the ASP code:
<%# Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim txtbody
Dim objCDO
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDO.To = "mail#mail.com"
objCDO.From = "digital#adinet.com"
objCDO.Subject = "* *Formu enviado desde web * *"
txtbody = ""
for a = 1 to Request.Form.Count
txtbody = txtbody & Request.Form.Key(a) & " = " & Request.Form(a) & chr(10) & chr(13)
next
for a = 1 to Request.QueryString.Count
txtbody = txtbody & Request.QueryString.Key(a) & " = " & Request.QueryString(a) & chr(10) & chr(13)
next
txtbody = txtbody & "*******-----------------******"
objCDO.Body = txtbody
objCDO.Send
Response.Write "send = Ok"
%>

If you'd like to have a page or message that's more meaningful, consider replacing this
Response.Write "send = Ok"
with this:
Response.Redirect "email-thank-you.htm" 'or .asp, whatever you like.
Then go make your new page email-thank-you.htm as decorated and styled as nicely as you can. This helps by having your email logic contained in one page or function, and separate from the nice page. If something happened, i.e. the email server was unavailable, or perhaps the email address was malformed/missing, you could write that back to the original page.

If I understand what you're doing correctly, you should actually create a static form called emailForm.asp with your desired styling. Have it read the querystring that you are passing and and place the values in the fields. Put on link on your current page in order to pop this page up.

Your final line, Response.Write "send = Ok" is being output as a badly-formed html page.
I'd recommend you structure your page as follows:
<%# Language=VBScript %>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<!-- Add header info, including links to style sheets -->
</head>
<body>
<%
'Your CDO code goes here
objCDO.Send
if err.number > 0 then
response.write "<p class='error'>Error: " & err.number & " - " & err.message & "</p>"
else
Response.write "<p class='ok'>Sent OK</p>"
end if
%>
</body>
</html>
This will render a full html page that you can style properly (and will also no presume that the email sent OK!).

How to display Success message after clicking Save in HTML page

I have an html form containing this code which runs on IIS:
<form action="http://server1/data.asp" method="POST">
Your Name: <input name="name" type="text">
<input value="Save" type="submit">
</form>
After user submits this form it runs the code in data.asp which displays a Success message with code to write to a text file (file1.txt):
Success!
<%
Dim fso
Dim tst
Set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tst = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\data\file1.txt", 8, true)
tst.writeline "Name = " & Request.Form("name")
tst.writeline "" & Request.Form("")
tst.close
Set tst = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
%>
This works but it just shows a page with Success! and stays there. What I'd really like is:
After user submits the form by clicking Save I'd like a little message box that says "Success" and remain on the same html page or go to a url I specify within the code.
I don't want to use Java or 3rd party extensions. This is an HTML page that runs the data.asp page on submit and I'd like it to stay that way if possible.
So how would I modify the html and/or data.asp page to do this?
You can do like this:
Response.Redirect "https://www.yoursite.com/thankyou.asp"
Instead of returning "Success!" as your response content you can return the form content you have above, this way you can use the same file for the GET and POST methods, with an condition on your asp logic to execute only on POST requests and return a success alert when the code is excuted successfully.
<form action="http://server1/index.asp" method="POST">
Your Name: <input name="name" type="text">
<input value="Save" type="submit">
</form>
<%
If (Request.Method = "POST") Then
Dim fso
Dim tst
Set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tst = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\data\file1.txt", 8, true)
tst.writeline "Name = " & Request.Form("name")
tst.writeline "" & Request.Form("")
tst.close
Set tst = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
response.write ("<script>alert('Success!');</script>")
End If
%>
Found the solution by adding an extra page to the mix (redir2form.asp):
in data.asp:
<%
Dim fso
Dim tst
Set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tst = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\data\file1.txt", 8, true)
tst.writeline "Name = " & Request.Form("name")
tst.writeline "" & Request.Form("")
tst.close
Set tst = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
%>
Response.Redirect "http://server1/redir2form.asp"
in redir2form.asp:
<%
response.write ("<script>alert('Success!');</script>")
%>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=http://server1/index.htm" />
Index.htm has the form action going to the data.asp page.
Not as neat as it could be but that's how I got it to work. After a user submits the form he gets the "Success!" message box and once they click OK they're redirected back to the form page.

ASP Classic - Request.Form data has no value

I'm new to ASP. I'm using MSWindows Server 2008 x86 6.0.6002 to make simple "PersonalInformation" page.
Even though this is pathetic, please do not downvote.
But I've got a problem that cannot get value from Request.Form data.
Implementation here on TestHtml.html & TestAsp.asp.
TestHtml.html
<html>
<title>MultiPart FormData Test</title>
<header></header>
<body>
<form action="http://10.21.56.101/Test/TestAsp.asp" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="MPDFTest" id="MPDFTest">
Name : <input name="ST_Name" type="text" id="ST_Name"/>
Sex : <input name="ST_Sex" type="text" id="ST_Sex"/>
Age : <input name="ST_Age" type="text" id="ST_Age"/>
Height : <input name="ST_Height" type="text" id="ST_Height"/>
SData : <input name="ST_SData" type="file" id="ST_SData"/>
<input name="ST_SendInfo" type="submit" value="SaveData" id="ST_SendInfo"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
TestAsp.asp
<%
Option Explicit
Dim miName, miSex, miAge, miHeight
miName = Request.Form("ST_Name")
miSex = Request.Form("ST_Sex")
miAge = Request.Form("ST_Age")
miHeight = Request.Form("ST_Height")
Response.Write "---- Data Check ----<br>"
Response.Write "Name : " & miName & "<br>"
Response.Write "Sex : " & miSex & "<br>"
Response.Write "Age : " & miAge & "<br>"
Response.Write "Height : " & miHeight & "<br>"
If miName = "" Or miSex = "" Or miAge = "" Or miHeight = "" Then
Response.Write "Please check Name, Sex, Age, Height again!<br>"
Else
Response.Write "Data Saved.<br>"
End If
%>
As you see, this is a simple code.
But on TestAsp.asp, it doesn't get value from Request.Form data.
I always get string "Please check Name, Sex, Age, Height again!".
Why? and What's wrong on my code?
Someone please help me. Thank you in advance.
Remove enctype="multipart/form-data"
And replace name="ST_Age to name="ST_Age", and name="ST_Height to name="ST_Height".
To upload file use aspupload or asppdf and don't forget to add enctype="multipart/form-data" at the beginning of the form

Calling a vbscript funciton to update a SQL table from an HTML form generated on an asp-classic page

Having a hard time with updating a SQL table from an HTML form generated on an asp-classic page. The page dynamically creates a table based on a SQL query; I've added a form for the purpose of editing certain fields displayed in the table but have been unable to trigger the function (i.e. onclick) that the form button calls using the code below. I've tried multiple variations of the syntax used for calling the function via VBscript and am missing something entirely. I'm wondering if I'm trying something that can't be done in the asp-classic environment due to the server side code being used and the limitations that go with that (as well as my trying to use the same page to generate the results). I know the default behavior for the form is to refresh the page if I don't specify a different page. In the code below, I'm just trying to confirm the behavior before I add the SQL update statement to the function. (I'm typically only retrieving or inserting data for a web site - very little experience updating the data between a single page like this.)
<br>
<form method="POST" id="form" action="">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="state">
<%
'populate the dropdown selection for the state within the form
do until rs.eof
For each x in rs.fields
response.write "<option value=" & x.Value & ">" & x.Value & "</option>" & vbNewLine
next
rs.movenext
loop
%>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<select name="ps">
<option value="blank"></option>
<option value="prime">Primary</option>
<option value="secondary">Secondary</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input name="emp_num" size="5" maxlength="5" rows="1" ></textarea>
</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" onclick="Go" value="Update record"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<%
function Go() {
msgbox "test"
//additional SQL code would be included here once the function actually works
}
%>
<%
'close the DB connection
dbconn.close
%>

You're trying to mix server-side code with client-side code, and It Don't Work Like ThatTM.
Here's a very rough outline of how you could get information from the user, process it, and display it, all on the same asp page. Note the utter lack of JavaScript. :)
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylestuff.css">
<%
Dim rs, sql, conn
Dim mylist, myval1, myval2, i
myval1 = Request.Form("val1")
myval2 = Request.Form("val2")
'- If the form hasn't been submitted yet, myval1&2 will be the special value Empty,
'- but you can treat them as a blank string ("") for all intents and purposes.
If Validate(myval1, myval2) = True and myval1 & myval2 <> "" Then
DoStuffWith myval1, myval2
End If
%>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Page</h1>
<form method="post" action="">
<p>Select one: <select name="val1" size="1">
<%
ListStuff mylist
For i = 0 to UBound(mylist,1)
response.write "<option value='" & mylist(0,i) & "'"
If myval & "" = mylist(0,i) & "" Then response.write " selected"
response.write ">" & mylist(1,i) & "</option>"
Next
%>
</select></p>
<p>Write something here:
<input type="text" name="val2" value="<%=myval2%>" size="10"></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="btn" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
<%
If myval1 & myval2 <> "" Then
DisplayStuff myval1, myval2
End If
%>
</body>
</html>
<%
Sub ListStuff(L)
sql = "Select [...] From [...] Where [...]"
Set rs = Server.Createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open sql, "connection string (or previously-opened connection object)", 1,2
If Not rs.EOF Then
L = rs.GetRows
Else
Redim L(1,0)
L(0,0) = 0 : L(1,0) = "missing!"
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
'---------------------------------
Function Validate(v1,v2)
dim f
f = True
If Not Isnumeric(v1) Then f = False
If Len(v2) > 10 Then f = False
Validate = f
End Function
'---------------------------------
Sub DoStuffWith(v1,v2)
'- table-creation (or whatever) code goes here

'---------------------------------
Sub DisplayStuff(v1,v2)

Loading a non-MVC intranet webpage in MVC View

We have an old custom asp intranet site in which we access our internal databases and I've managed to setup a html page to be able to load other intranet sites like ccnet, wiki etc using <iframe /> tags, via the static menu on top of the page.
Example legacy code:
Menu.asp:
<body topmargin="0" and leftmargin="0">
<div id="header">
<a href="default.asp" id="logo">
<img src="Images/Home.png" alt="Bam! Home" width="40" height="40"/>
</a>
<ul id="NavMenu">
<li><a>DB tasks</a>
<ul>
<li>Restore .bak</li>
<li>Restore .sqb</li>
<li>Create Snapshot</li>
<li>Revert to Snapshot</li>
<li>Delete Snapshot</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a>General</a>
<ul>
<li>Wiki</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
ccnet.asp (to load the intranet page in an iframe to retain the menu):
<!-- #include file = "common.asp" -->
<html>
<head>
<title><%
'Common DB tasks:
if Request("Target") = "CreateDbSnapshot" then
Response.write "Create Db Snapshot"
elseif Request("Target") = "RevertToDbSnapshot" then
Response.write "Revert To Db Snapshot"
elseif Request("Target") = "DeleteDbSnapshot" then
Response.write "Delete Db Snapshot"
elseif Request("Target") = "RestoreBak" then
Response.write "Restore Bak"
elseif Request("Target") = "RestoreSqb" then
Response.write "Restore Sqb"
'General
elseif Request("Target") = "Wiki" then
Response.write "Wiki"
'Final just incase there is an unavailable option:
else
response.write "DBServer CCNet"
end if
%></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="common.css"/>
</head>
<!--#include file ="menu.asp"-->
<body>
<%
dim iFrameTargetSrc
'Common DB tasks:
if Request("Target") = "CreateDbSnapshot" then
iFrameTargetSrc = "http://DBServer/ccnet/server/local/project/1.%20Create%20DB%20Snapshot/ViewProjectReport.aspx"
elseif Request("Target") = "RevertToDbSnapshot" then
iFrameTargetSrc = "http://DBServer/ccnet/server/local/project/3.%20Delete%20DB%20Snapshot/ViewProjectReport.aspx"
elseif Request("Target") = "DeleteDbSnapshot" then

iFrameTargetSrc = "http://wiki/sites/CompanyWiki/SitePages/newhome.aspx"
'Final just incase there is an unavailable option:
else
iFrameTargetSrc = "http://DBServer/ccnet/ViewFarmReport.aspx"
response.write "Cannot find requested target " & Request("Target") & "."
end if
%>
<iframe src="<%response.write iFrameTargetSrc%>" seamless="true" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="94%"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
We've started to convert this legacy intranet site to MVC5, but what I can't figure out is how to be able to create a view that can load the ccnet and other intranet site pages in a view which spans the whole page when selecting the link from the menu. Views need the data from the controller. How should I pass the information to the controller and load the view containing the non-mvc intranet site?
I'm trying to add the menu option to the _Layout.cshtml page, but haven't found anything that can point me in the right direction of how to implement this.
Any advice, containing a link that can show me how by using examples or solutions posted here will be highly appreciated.
You can add an action method to a controller like this
public ActionResult LoadExternalSystem(string identifier)
{
switch (identifier.ToLower())
{
case "wiki":
{
ViewBag.LoadUrl = "http://wiki.somewhere";
break;
}
case "othersystem":
{
ViewBag.LoadUrl = "http://othersystem";
break;
}
}
return View();
}
Then create a view for that action that looks like the following
#{
ViewBag.Title = "LoadExternalSystem";
}
<iframe src="#ViewBag.LoadUrl"></iframe>
Then use the following for your menu
<ul>
<li>wiki</li>
<li>Other system</li>
</ul>

mixing asp and html codes

i have this code which contains html and asp code
<%for each x in rs.Fields%>
<%IF (x.name="ID") THEN%>
<%dim i
i=x.value%>
<td><a href="form7.asp?id="+<%i%>>
<%Response.Write(x.value)%><a/>
i want to use the i variable inside the html code
or another example
<%id=request("id")%>
<%=id%>
<tr>
<th>Name:</th>
<td><input name="n"></input></td>
i want to use id in the input tag in the value as value=id
how to do that ? can someone help me please ?
First, a basic ASP design principle: try to minimize the switching between HTML context and ASP (or really, VBScript) context on a page, for reasons of performance as well as readability.
Following that principle in your latter snippet, I would use Response.Write to emit the necessary HTML as follows:
<%
id=request("id")
Response.Write "<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input name=""n"" value=" & id & "></input></td></tr>"
%>
All you're doing is supplying the VALUE attribute of the INPUT tag.
Fixed:
<%
dim i
for each x in rs.Fields
IF (x.name="ID") THEN
i=x.value
response.write("<td><a href='form7.asp?id=" & i & "'>"
response.write(x.value) & "<a/>"
'not sure if you want a closing TD here
response.write("</td>") & vbCrLf
END IF
next
%>
