ASP/HTML dropping back a directory

im using

Code:

 

to include a file inside a web page (a variable so that i can change things easily)

it exsest in the root directory and is used by some ASP pages there, i then have a folder and want an ASP page to use it as well

Root:\sale.inc
Root:\1.asp
Root:\2.asp
Root:\folder\3.asp

i cant seem to get 3.asp to use it, i need the code to have it jump back a directory, i tried

Code:

 

and

Code:

 

to no avail, any help will be apreciated, thanks

You may want to look into include virtual if the files are below your default directory.

ah i forgot the slash thanks

ok i have a new question for you guys, same topic of ASP VBS

im trying to load a input box with some text from my SQL server

Code:

  

    <input name="txtdisc"  type="text" size="80" value=<%=VNR(2)%>>

where VNR(2) is the variable, it should and does contain a long peice of text, but when it puts it inside the box on the screen its only the first word, not the entire sentence. i can get it to dump the entire sentence if i use a text area, but i cant get that to work with the submit button.

Put quotes around it:

Code:

value="<%=VNR(2)%>"

nope did not work

Code:

<input name="txtdisc" type="text" size="80" value="<%=VNR(2)%>">

Show more code then, 'cause it works fine for me.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">

<%@ Language = VBscript %>

<%

'Get variables from the querystring

Item_ID = Request.Querystring("Item_ID")

SQLRPT="select * from Item where item_ID = " & Item_ID 

set conndb = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")

conndb.open "SQLStore"

set VNR=conndb.execute(SQLRPT)

%>



        <%

'Get variables from the querystring

Item_ID = Request.Querystring("Item_ID")

SQLRPT="select Item_type from Item where item_ID = " & Item_ID 

set conndb = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")

conndb.open "SQLStore"

set Itype=conndb.execute(SQLRPT)

%>





<HTML>

set conndb = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")

conndb.open "SQLStore"

set rptSet=conndb.execute(SQLRPT)

%>

    <select name="Type" >

      <% 'Loop through the recordset to make each entry in the list. %>

      <Option value = ""></Option>

      <% do while not rptSet.eof %>

      <% if Itype(0) = rptSet(0) then %>

      <Option value = "<%=rptSet(0)%>" selected><%=rptSet(0)%> </Option>

      <% else %>

      <Option value = "<%=rptSet(0)%>"><%=rptSet(0)%> </Option>

      <% end if %>

      <%rptSet.movenext 

                loop%>

    </select>

    <br>

    <br>

    Item Name:<br>

    <input name="textfield" type="text" size="80" value=<%=VNR(1)%>>



  <br>

  </p>

  <p>Item Discription:</p>

  

    <input name="txtdisc"  type="text" size="80" value=<%=VNR(2)%>>

  

  <p><br>

    Price: 

    <input name="txtprice" type="text" value=<%= VNR(3) %> >

  <p> 

    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

  </p>

</form>

<p>&nbsp;



<%=VNR(1)%>

<BR><br>



<%=VNR(2)%>

</BODY>

</HTML>

it only loads the first word into the text boxes, if i use a text area it does all the text, but i cant get it to upload it, i need them to be added to the arguments.

Ummmm...You don't have quotes around the <%=VNR(2)%> in that code.

dream weaver takes them off.

The string value of the text probably contains quotation marks. Try using the ASP replace() function to change all the single quotation marks to double, or their ASCII equivalent (the & plus a number).

As far as DM taking the quotes out, insert them with notepad and see what you get. I'll experiment with this tomorrow and see what I get.

Try using a textarea tag instead. You're free of funky syntax errors under those conditions.
