Hello,
I have seen some sites where a cgi is called and loads a page to
the browser, then will automatically refresh again using the same connection - i.e - it does not use html refresh or call itself, etc.
I wish I remembered the URL so I could refer it here. But here is how I remember it - I go to the page using IE and it loads up some content. The progress bar at the bottom of the browser indicates that the page is not loaded yet. And after waiting for some time, new content shows in the same page, and so on. In other words, these pages never see a "done" on the
browser.
I was wondering if the cgi was playing with the content-length tag to starve the browser of necessary bytes to finish + also resending headers and content again. Again, this is just my guess; I would like to learn how this is done ? Thanks.

Thanks for the answer. But I thought SP is not supported in IE - this is why I was wondering if there was some equivalent?

Hi,
This is a very simple question but one that has had me vexed for a while......
How do I turn on wordwrap in the interdev development environment ? I am editing my ASP files in the source window of interdev but the code disappears off the right hand side of the window and it's driving me nuts.
HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP !! 
Thanks

Interdev sux, doesn't it?
I know the hassle this causes, but haven't found a way to solve it. One problem with enabling wordwrap that might occur is that it could mask coding errors. Since VBScript doesn't have a line terminator, any time there is a line break it interprets this as a new statement. Even if wordwrap was enabled as a display-only function, it would still cause confusion in debugging if you inadvertently hit a CR in the middle of a line. JScript, of course, doesn't have this problem - or shouldn't.
One thing that helps is to minimize the Toolbars as much as possible. I generally dump the left pane since nothing there actually works, and I do all the ASP coding in the source editor anyway. The Project View and Properties windows are handy, but it's easy enough to minimize them and restore them when needed.

I am new to CGI programming in Perl. I created the following code and saved the file as helloworld.cgi. If you try to open the location of the cgi, it should display hello world in html format.
This is the code:
#!usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Hello World</title></head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h2>Hello World</h2>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
This is the location:
http://people.eecs.ku.edu/~shaffer/cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi
I get the following error:
Server error!
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: helloworld.cgi
Is this a file permission problem or is it something else?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
kevin

Change this
#!usr/bin/perl
to this
#!/usr/bin/perl
Also, make sure the cgi file is executable by all. You can accomplish this by changing to the directory where the cgi resides and chmod-ing it like so: chmod a+x helloworld.cgi

Hi, everyone!
I want to generate a Word file from a browser. The data which is going to be filled in Word file is in a database table. I just do not know how to generate a word file to download and fill in the data in the Word file.
Are there some samples that I can refer?
regards,
George

Hi.
The thing I can only remember is to automate Word on the server side. It is rather f***ed up business, and is to be avoided in any case if possible.
Anyhow if you are ready for (must do) it, there are samples on MSDN, and Google search should help you, too...

try something like:
"automating word object asp" or
"automation word object asp".
Also, you can try looking at http://groops.google.com
At http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/off2000/html/womscwhatsnewdev.asp
you can find documentation needed, together with soma samples
good luck

Thanks, SPS buddy!
After browsing the information you introduced to me, I find
that it is not a free software/lib. Am I correct?
Do you know where can I find some free lib/samples?
regards,
George

The one that the site shows... has a piece of example down that same page. That will help for a word file to be opened with your data. Just scroll down the page to see the example.

Hi, SPS buddy!
I want to know whether you have written a Word file by
ASP before? Are there some further issues to consider?
Your experience is my treasure.
Have a nice day,

Since Word can open many different file formats, why not simply generate a file format that suits the content you wish to display, such as RTF, HTML or text. Then, when you write the headers back to the browser, set the content-type header to 'application/msword' to force the browser to open the document in Word.

Thanks, basementman buddy!
I think RTF is enough for my application.  But how to write a RTF file? Are there some sample codes or tutorials which I can make a reference?
regards,
George
