I am a begginner with ASP.
Can someone help me fix this?
I am trying to display order tracking links from a DB table.
If there is a tracking link listed for a company it should display
"Track Now" as a hyperlink. If there is no order tracking link listed
it displays: "No Address".
The link displays fine if I just use:
<a href="<%=rs.Fie lds.Item("Order _Tracking").Val ue%>"><%=rs.Fie lds.Item("Order _Tracking").Val ue%></a>
but I don't want that because some of the links are very long.
PROBLEM: I have about 50 companies to display about 30 of them has a
package tracking link provided. All displays however as "No Address".
Here is the code I would like to use. Can someone put me in the right
direction:
<%
If VIPPtracking = "" then
Response.Write( "<a href=""" &
rs.Fields.Item( "Order_Tracking ").Value & """>Track Now</a>")
else
Response.write( "No Address")
End If
%> 8  1319 
Where are you giving the VIPTracking variable its value?

You're testing if VIPTrack="" and if it does = "", then it should write your
link. Considering that you're assigning a value to VIPTrack in three
different places from request.? collections and from a recordset, chances
are the value is never or rarely "". Response.Write the value to see what
it is. Or just use a test if/then like so:
VIPTrack = Request.FORM("O rder_Tracking")
If VIPTrack = "" Then
Response.Write "VIPTrack is not an empty string. It is: " & VIPTrack
Else
Response.Write "VIPTrack is an empty string.
End If

I corrected all the Request.Form("i tem") collection names, and tried
the code you gave me.
Right now I am getting only: "VIPPtrack is not an empty string. It is:
"
no matter if there is a link or not. I never get "VIPTrack is an empty
string."
Do you expect it to be an empty string ever? What kind of form element is
it?

Then I get "No Address" everywhere.

Then I get "Track Now" with the link of the portal's index page where
there is no OrderTracking link provided,
and
get "Track Now" and the corresponding company's tracking link, where
listed.
I don't understand, in the case of NO tracking link listed, why would
it use the portal's index page as a link?
This problem has nothing to do with writing links, portals, or recordsets or
anything like that. It is all about the value of VIPTracking.

Have you tried Response.Write ( Request.Form("O rder_Tracking") ) with no logic around it, as Ray suggested?
If it does have a value, then try this.....
When I've run into this problem, this seems to do the trick....
<%
If Not VIPPtracking = "" then
Response.write( "<a href=""" & rs.Fields.Item( "Order_Tracking ").Value & """>Track Now</a>")
else
Response.Write( "No Address")

Lo all,
I have a local recordset which is not linked to a database.
Some of the fields in this recordset contain html tags.
I have a function which is called when I'm calculating my relevance for
search results which gets the row from the recordset, strips out the html
tags, then does its magic to produce the 'relevance' for that row.

When you create an ADO Recordset, you should have some idea as to what functionality the Recordset does/does not provide. Some critical questions may, and should, be:
Can I add New Records to the Recordset?
Does the Recordset support Bookmarks?
Can we use the Find and/or Seek Methods with this Recordset?
Does the Recordset support the use of Indexes?
Will the Absoluteposition property be able to be used on this Recordset?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
