You can't do it with just plain ASP, you have to use COM, too. Take at look at this article.

Saving ASP Output to HTML

Just thought I would share this piece of useful know-how with the world... even though many ASP developers probably already know it.

Basically accesing a HTML file is a good site quicker than accessing an ASP file, thats pretty obvious with ASPs overheads, database calls etc.
So it is often useful, with an ASP page that does not change a lot, to save the ASP output as pure HTML and then get your visitors to hit the HTML page and not the ASP page. Then, whenever you want the HTML page to change you just re-run the ASP page to re-save the HTML.

ASPTear is a great, free, little component which does the job with aplomb. You can get it here.

And a good article on how to use the component is situated on 4GuysFromRolla.com here.

If anyone wants a full article on this from me explaining things better then just ask Smile | :)

Using <xsl:variable> with group transform

5-Sep-01 21:11

Dear All,
Here is a xsl to transform the xml by grouped by "cost_type" and displays
group summary "avg hourly cost" for each cost_type, by matching to
respective <gpr_aggr> node of XML file. For purpose of matching to a specific <grp_aggr> node, I used <xsl:variable>.

Can somebody help me out with this transform and tell me why the 2nd
<xsl:value-of> meant to display value of <grp_aggr> node matching with
respective cost_type, is not matching with any node.
Any timely solution is appericiated.

Desired Output
-------
Cost type Hourly CostCTC
Billable
200 378000
150 0
50 0
Avg HCost: 133
Avg HCost: 133 (-->showing blank in actual output)
Actual
100 189000
Avg HCost: 133
Avg HCost:129 (--> showing blank in actual output)

<xsl:for-each select="./record[count(.|key('key_1',cost_type)[1]) =
1]">
<xsl:value-of select="cost_type">

ASP Session variables

I have encountered a problem with a session variable I have been trying to use.
I create the variable in the global.asa file along with other variables.
var ID = 0;

I have a one page that does validation for my site with the following type of code

<br />
if( page1 )<br />
   insert record...<br />
   Session("ID") = RecordSet("id");<br />
   // Session("ID") is fine here<br />
   Redirect("page2.asp");<br />
else if( page2 )<br />
   var temp = Session("ID");<br />
   // Session("ID") does not exist<br />
<br />
Anyone have any insite into this? I use other session variables and they through this and other variables and there doesn't seem to be a problem.

Re: ASP Session variables

14-Sep-01 4:05

Hmmmm... please be more specific about how you are SETTING your Session("ID") in your global.asa file. From the nfo you gave, it seems for the if(page1) you are setting your Session("ID") there, and for (page2) no Session("ID) exists because you seem to be setting it in the if(page1) part. Like I said, I can not really help until you post the section of your global.asa file where you are creating your Session("ID").

Global.asa

var ID = 0;

function Session_OnStart()
{
Session("ID") = 9;
}

On page 1 I can do the following

Response.Write(Session("ID")); // Outputs 9
Session("ID") = 10;
Response.Redirect("page2.asp");

On page2 I get this

Response.Write(Session("ID")); // Outputs 9 not 10

If this is an ActiveX/COM dll then it is not a problem. After the dll has been properly installed or download to the client machine you just have your page instantiate the object. Such as <object> tag or from scripting CreateObject or CreateActivexObject.

Is there something special about your dialog? You could use a popup or hta from the browser with needing to have a dll downloaded/installed.

You could read the filenames into an array and sort the array.

I am having a problem with my menu at http://www.cwd.htmlplanet.com. I am having a compatibily error with my CSS, which most of my menu is done with. In IE my page looks how I want it to look, it looks something like this:
___________________
|Header (background |
| is blue) |
|___________________|
|Content ( bgwhite) | <----- Border is Blue
| |
| |
| |
|___________________|

Althought in Netscape it has the header (background blue) with a white border and then the blue border. It looks something like this:

____________________
| ________________ <|------White border around header
| |Header (bg blue)| |
| |________________| |
| |
|Content ( bgwhite) | <----- Border is Blue
| |
| |
| |
|____________________|

Remember you can see what it looks like here http://www.cwd.htmlplanet.com

I would really like some help! If not I think I will just make a Netscape page and an IE page.
If you have any ideas that would help me I would like to know!

MSIE's CSS implementation is full of bugs, most likely Netscape 6 or Mozilla shows your pages like they should be according to CSS standards. Anyway, first you should validate your HTML and CSS code and fix any syntax errors. Use W3C's HTML validator and CSS validator

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
