APPEND TO ALREADY EXSISTING HTML OR ASP FILE?

ALEX_GRIM · January 11th, 2005, 11:54 PM

hey, i' new to vb, asp, etc, but i have a grasp of it. i've been going through google all night and day, been to quite a few vb, asp sites, to no prevail. my problem:
i have a form, and it works fine, it is set to create a new post page with every post, instead of putting it all on the same page. well my problem is i DO want some of my forms to post to the same page, but they are being over written. how do i tell my server i want to APPEND and not CREATE? my ultimate goal with this, is to do something along the lines of what you have here, were i post a comment, it writes it's own page, BUT it appends to the subject to the main category page as well. i've seen examples of poeple doing this, but i don't understand the proper format of a sub in an asp document, so i try to keep my scripting as lite as possable.

ACTUALLY IT'S OK, i just went out and bought a book, (i didn't know wrox wrote books, i thought it was just a website for programmers, neat), for asp, so instead of bother you guys, i can teach myself easier now, instead of trying to learn from tutorial sites. but i DO have one more question, and i don't know if this is the right forum for this kind of question, i'm just asumming this forum also deals with iis isues, since it is an asp forum, but is it common to have certain applications fail to install to server 2003 flash mx, and vb studio 6 will not install, but all my other big programs will? thanks.

If you are logged in as the administrator and itâs a legit copy I would say thatâs strange. If your applications are cracked in correctly I could understand though.

actually, i figured it out, the installer files were bad, from transfering them from hddd to hdd so many times. so uh....... what makes you think i'm cracking them? you've heard about me from another forum huh?

;;;Well, i'd apreciate it if you guys don't get anal about it
Are you talking to me? What the hell are you on about, did I miss a post? Please explain?

;;;TWO forums i've been banned from...
Mate, with that type of 'completely un-called for' post Iâm not supprized. This forum has some very helpful great minds, once a bridge is burnt its twice as hard to re build.

;;;should i post MY soloution here
Do what you like, however you thread subject should reflect its content.

BTW Are you aware of the rammifications of posting your email at the foot of your posts?

WELL yes, i was talking to your and your other mod's, at least i thoght you were a mod. but what do you mean by "uncalled for"? i didn't notice anything out of line, other than a figure of speach i threw in there. but anyway, my code for appending data is forthcoming. and what are the rammifications of posting my email? are you not allowed to do that here?

by the way, in the previous example, you must be sure not to include any blockquotes in your html. see how i did my writeline;

objStream.WriteLine("MESSENGER NAME:");

now say you were refrencing to a target in a frames page, you'd have to use quotes for that, it won't work otherwise. so use the chr(34)=(");

objStream.WriteLine("<a href=my center frame.hmtl target="&chr(34)&"main frame"&chr(34)&">this is a hyperlink</a>");

so this way, the parser reads it like this;

objStream.WriteLine

("<a href=my center frame.hmtl target=" <-it reads that section between quotes,

&chr(34) <-then it concatenates it with the ascii chr(34),

&"main frame" <-then it concatenates it with another block of text,

&chr(34) <- chr(34) again,

">this is a hyperlink</a>"); <-then the last chunk of text(between quotes), and the end paranthases and semicolon.

the result will be printed in an html doc to look like this;

<a href=my center frame.hmtl target="main frame">this is a hyperlink</a>

good luck.
