I’m very fresh with web dev, but am putting together a simple software catalog

  • 0

I’m very fresh with web dev, but am putting together a simple software catalog with classic ASP. Everything seems fine, except I want to use a value from my SQL database twice on the page. For example, in the page title as well as in the body of the page, however I can only seem to use each value once:

.... Set nItem = Request.QueryString('ID')  strSQL = 'SELECT * '_     & 'FROM [Packages] '_     & 'WHERE id='' & nItem & '';'   Set rstSearch = cnnSearch.Execute(strSQL)  <title><%=rstSearch.Fields('Software') %></title> <body> <center>Software Information</center> <%=rstSearch.Fields('Software')%> <br /> <%=rstSearch.Fields('Version')%> <br /> <%=rstSearch.Fields('ID')%> <br /> <%=rstSearch.Fields('Licence')%> <br /> ...

  1. Assign it to a variable; don’t just pull the value from the Recordset.

    Set nItem = Request.QueryString('ID')  strSQL = 'SELECT * '_     & 'FROM [Packages] '_     & 'WHERE id='' & nItem & '';'   Set rstSearch = cnnSearch.Execute(strSQL)  Dim software software = rstSearch('Software') ' set your other fields as variables...  <title><%= software %></title> <body> <center>Software Information</center> <%= software %> <br />

    Should work fine for you.
