asp code does not render for first record in looped recordset

[haft]

I have posted this question on a javascript forum as it contains
javascript code however it was believed to be an asp issue.

The following head section javascript code contains the function
showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header ) function call of discussion:

var currentImage;
function showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header ) {
var theImage = document.getEle mentById( 'largeimage' );
theImage.src = isource;
currentImage = bigImage;
document.getEle mentById( 'photoHeader' ).innerHTML=hea der;
document.getEle mentById( 'largeimage' ).alt=header;

The following rendered looped recordset code illustrates how the
"header" parameter of this showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header )
function call does not render ONLY FOR THE FIRST RECORD OF THE
RECORDSET as it is blank:

<a href= "javascript :;" <td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_im g" onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?
path=images/portable_stage. jpg&width=250', 'images/
portable_stage. jpg','' )"<img src="imagescrip t.asp?path=imag es/
portable_stage. jpg&width=36" border="0" alt="" /</td</a>

<a href= "javascript :;" <td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_im g" onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?
path=images/seated_riserset .jpg&width=250' ,'images/

the 3 ft x 8 ft platforms in 3 different heights' )"<img
src="imagescrip t.asp?path=imag es/seated_riserset .jpg&width=36"
border="0" alt="" /</td</a>

<a href= "javascript :;" <td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_im g" onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?
path=images/Stageset.jpg&wi dth=250','image s/Stageset.jpg',' Portable
stage configuration using 16 units of the 4 ft x 8 ft platforms' )">
<img src="imagescrip t.asp?path=imag es/Stageset.jpg&wi dth=36"
border="0" alt="" /</td</a>

<a href= "javascript :;" <td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_im g" onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?
path=images/Runset.jpg&widt h=250','images/Runset.jpg','Po rtable stage

Runset.jpg&widt h=36" border="0" alt="" /</td</a>
Because of this problem, the caption text does not display for this
first image record once the thumbnail images are moused over. You can

There is no ASP code in the below.

The following head section javascript code contains the function
showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header ) function call of discussion:

var currentImage;
function showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header ) {
var theImage = document.getEle mentById( 'largeimage' );
theImage.src = isource;
currentImage = bigImage;
document.getEle mentById( 'photoHeader' ).innerHTML=hea der;
document.getEle mentById( 'largeimage' ).alt=header;

This is clientside code, so you are off topic.

"header" parameter of this showBigImage( isource,bigImag e,header )
function call does not render ONLY FOR THE FIRST RECORD OF THE
RECORDSET as it is blank:

You are absolutely right. I should've posted the asp code and here it
is:

<a href= "javascript :;" class="small_im g" >
<td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_im g" onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?path=<%=
images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>&width=250',' <%=
images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>','<
%=(images.Field s.Item("alt_img ").Value)%> ' )"><img
src="imagescrip t.asp?path=<%= images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value
%>&width=36" border="0" alt="" /</td>
</a>

If the ASP string is correct, even then this:

<%images.Fields .Item( "url_img" ).Value %>

will not do in ASP, or render to the html-string, anything,
so perhaps you want to try:

<% = images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>

[etc.]

However,
since you do not show the relevant serverside database access code,
or even what database you use,
I cannot say.

And we do not know if imagescript.asp will process the querystring value
correctly

And if the resultstring of
<% = images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>
is encoded to precvent it to have characters that break the querystring,
[like an apostrophe].

Even the html is wrong:
<td .... /></td>
[why the /?]
and
<a ...><td .... /></td>...</a>
is wrong,
and
<a href= "javascript :;" class="small_im g" >
is questionable,
but that all is off topic on this NG.

Err ... that is not the code contained in imagescript.asp is it? No mention
of a recordset, for one thing ...

i really appreciate the responses.
the imagescript page is the page that resizes the images but i have no
issues with the images but rather the alt_img database field not
rendering properly for the initial recordset value.

and database type is Access.
imagescript.asp code:

<%
Response.Expire s = 0
' create instance of AspJpeg
Set Jpeg = Server.CreateOb ject("Persits.J peg")

If Request.QuerySt ring("width")=3 6 Then
Jpeg.New 36, 36, &HFFFFFF
Else
Jpeg.New 250, 250, &HFFFFFF
End If

' Open source file
Jpeg.Open Server.MapPath( Request.QuerySt ring("path"))

'Jpeg.Width = Request("Width" )

L = Request("Width" )

'Jpeg.Height = Jpeg.OriginalHe ight * Jpeg.Width / Jpeg.OriginalWi dth

If jpeg.OriginalWi dth jpeg.OriginalHe ight Then
jpeg.Width = L
jpeg.Height = jpeg.OriginalHe ight * L / jpeg.OriginalWi dth
Else
jpeg.Height = L
jpeg.Width = jpeg.OriginalWi dth * L / jpeg.OriginalHe ight
End If

' Perform resizing and
' send resultant image to client browser
Jpeg.SendBinary

%>

[haft]

This is the code to narrow in on:

onmouseover="sh owBigImage( 'imagescript.as p?path=<%=
images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>&width=250',' <%=
images.Fields.I tem( "url_img" ).Value %>','<
%=(images.Field s.Item("alt_img ").Value)%> ' )">

This '<%=(images.Fie lds.Item("alt_i mg").Value)%> ' portion of the code
is what is not rendering for the initial image of the recordset

So I guess I still don't understand the suspicion that this is an
ASP/server-side code problem.

imagescript.asp code:

<snip>
Still no mention of a recordset ... ?
I don't know how we can help.

No it isn't. There is no mention of a recordset here, unless images is a
recordset object. If so, we need to see the code used to open the
recordset (and its connection) as well as a description of the database
table (field datatypes and names), along with the code used to navigate
to the record whose alt_img field you wish to display. Try to slice out
as much html as possible so we can focus on the server-side ADO code.
