ASP "Require Once"

I've been writting ASp for quite some time now, and over and over again, I've thought about this:

Is there a way to immitate the "require once" feature of other scripting languages ? So that no matter how many of your include files contain, say [ which in my case contains a VBScript Class ] the context only loads it once ?

I could get over this ahortcoming of ASP by using a COM DLL, but not everything should require a DLL to do properly, right ?!?!?

Cheers,

I wrote (in ASP page):

<%Set obj = Server.CreateObject("Lotus123.Workbook.98")%>

Once the object is created, I can not close it. (I can see that by using Window Task Manager in Window2K - the process is 123w.exe)
I must close it manually by 'End process' function. If I don't close it and run that command again, the web server is down. (I mean that the command can create the object the at first time - when no 123w.exe process in memory - and fail to create the object if the process 123w.exe still remain in memory).

Another problem is when I create Excel.Application instead of Lotus123.Workbook.98 object, that Excel object is closed immediately and I can not handle it.

Please help me to solve that problems.
Thanks a lot.

You need to set obj = Nothing before the page ends.
Note that initiating a .EXE from an ASP page is not scalable, nor fast, nor secure.

I have already tried all things like : set obj = nothing,...
but no effect.
I note that .EXE is executed on server to do some thing like Export to a specific file format and turn back the result to client.

JavaScript "same origin" security policy violation?

Got a problem related to JavaScript’s “same origin” security policy. Have a page on http://a.com, which references Javascript code from http://b.com. That js source contains a function which itself pulls in two documents from two distinct locations (http://c.com/… and http://b:com/…), one being an XML document and one being an XSLT stylesheet.
Javascript code transforms a single node and displays the result.

It seems the above violates the “same origin” security policy. IE6 thinks so, too. IE responds “access denied” unless all parts come from the same domain, or unless all related domains are listed as “trusted sites”. Mozilla 1.2.1, however, does not have that concern and goes ahead.

What’s going on? Which is right and which is wrong?
Any thoughts?

TIA,
Bernd

I'm doing an ASP.NET project and really don't want to do one myself.

RichTextBox.com has this handy web colour picker[^] which is pretty easy to adapt to a system without having to have use the other control.

The short answer is you cannot do this with standard web controls.

The long answer is you can do it using a couple of other non standard techniques, all of which invariably are more hassle than they are worth.

You could write a custom control in VB/C++/Whatever and compile it into an ActiveX control and use that. Problematic though.

You could do the same with a JavaApplet.

Lastly you could use complex DHTML to replace the ListBox. But I guarantee that will be filled with hassles.

Why do you need checkboxes in a listbox?

Thankyou Paul

actually i dont want to use ActiveX and applets

I have two properties associated with each item of list box

now one can be specified by inserting item into list box
while second can be specified by checking the check box

Thats why i want check boxes inside listbox

You can simulate one using a DIV or a IFRAME with scrollbars and put the checkboxes inside it. The appearance is just the same.

Well no. There have been plenty of PHP, CGI and other questions on here. IT is about web development, not just ASP web development.

SPS wrote:

Here is some sample code:

...
<select id="selSample">
<%
While rsSel.EOF = False
    Response.Write "<OPTION value=""" & rsSel("ClientID") & """>" & rsSel("Email") & "</OPTION>"
    rsSel.MoveNext
Wend
%>
</select>
...

So basically you open your recordset, open the SELECT element, loop through the recordset outputting an OPTION element for each record, then you close the SELECT.
