problem with asp form

**sarb** · Mar 25, 2012, 12:47

Hi, I have taken over the maintenance of a website and recently we did a redesign. I am not a programmer and this is where I am running into a problem.

On the website, the original designer created a page that contains an asp form. It allows the HR person at the company to open the form page and add new positions to the website. She opens a page called "jobs_edit.asp" and just fills in the box and hits submit and then the new position appears on the "Current Openings" web page (which is actually "jobopenings.asp" file).

All the files are on the root folder, except the files that are connected to this form page. These are all in a folder called "/oaknoll". I tried to do a test run to see if I could enter a description for one of the positions. but I get an error message after I hit the submit button. I am afraid to mess with the code as I don't want to screw the whole thing up.

Here are the folders and files in the "Oaknoll" folder:

Folder: Admin - file "jobsupdate.asp"
Folder: Data - file "oaknoll.mdb
Folder: Include files: "ADOVBS.INC", "DSN.asp", "validator.asp"
file: aspbackup.asp
file: jobopenings.asp
file: jobs_edit.asp
file: test.asp

Could someone take a look and tell me why it is not working correctly? Any suggestions?

Here is the website: http://www.oaknoll.com

The job postings appear on a page under the "EMPLOYMENT" tab called "current positions".

Here is the code from the current positions page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<!-- #include virtual="/oaknoll/include/DSN.asp" -->

function formatJobs (strIn)
	dim temp
	If strIn = "" or isnull (strIn) or isempty (strIn) Then
		temp = "- no current openings</p>"
	Else
		temp = "</p><p><blockquote>" & strIn & "</blockquote>"
	End If
	formatJobs = temp
end function

'Open and verify connection to DB
set cn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open cnString("/data", "oaknoll.mdb")

When I try to do a test on the jobs_edit.asp form and hit submit, I get an error message. In the browser URL address is a link to http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/jobsupdate.asp. On the server, the jobsupdate.asp file is actually located in the oaknoll file in another file called "admin". http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/admin/jobsupdate.asp.

Here is the code for the jobsupdate.asp page if it helps....

Code:

<!-- #include virtual="oaknoll/include/ADOVBS.INC" -->

Sorry about all the code. I'm just not sure what you would need to help figure this problem out.

Thanks for any suggestions you might be able to provide.

I am not really sure why the error message says "The include file '../includes/DSN.asp' was not found."
because the code at the top of the page doesn't say that, it says:

"" Which is what you indicated it should say.

See the code below.

There is this section a little further down, that doesn't have the full folder spelled out. Would that make a difference?

Code:

<!-- code for employment update form begins here -->


<%

Response.Expires = 0

function brtagFixer(strIn)
    
    dim temp
    
	temp = replace(strIn, "<br>", vbcrlf)

    brtagFixer = temp
      
  end function

dim cn, rs, sql

'Open and verify connection to DB
set cn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open cnString("\data", "oaknoll.mdb")

sql = "SELECT * FROM jobopenings"
set rs = cn.Execute(sql)

%>


<!-- code for employment update form ends here -->

because system confused you have http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/include/ path and I gues phisical path oaknoll\oaknoll\include\ your application virtual folder "oaknoll" and #include virtual="/oaknoll/include/DSN.asp" will point you to http://www.oaknoll.com/include/DSN.
the link http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/jobopenings.asp works now

ok, so I went to the browser and typed in "http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/jobs_edit.asp". The page with the form opened up ok. So far so good. But when I typed "this is a test" in the first box and then hit submit. I got the following error message:

"The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:

Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.

The URL of this page with this error message says:

"http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/jobsupdate.asp"

The file "jobsupdate.asp" is in another folder which is called "admin". So the URL should actually read:

"http://www.oaknoll.com/oaknoll/admin/jobsupdate.asp". But I don't know where in the code to correct this...

Thanks,

Any thoughts??

**webber123456** · Mar 26, 2012, 20:49

You need to correct it in the form tag located on the page /jobs_edit.asp

if you are unfamiliar with this level of programming, you should probably hire someone to assist.

I assume then it's not just a matter of adding a admin/ in front of the "sql = "SELECT * FROM jobopenings" code...
