inetserver asp general : long URLs
Is anyone aware of any sort of asp coding to deal with long URLs? I have a few asp that pull URLs from fields within a MS db, which then display on a width-limited table. Is there any way to wrap these long URLs such that my table doesn't get widened? e.g. wrapping at "/" or something similar? Thanks for any advice, Dave ______________________________ Remove "_SPAM" to reply directly.
Thanks for the idea. Well, yes, that would work but would mean someone
couldn't print the pages from their browser and be able to visit those URLs unless I specified this differently in a print css.

That's not a bad idea. Thanks.

Maybe instead of showing the url, you can do this,
<a href=<%=rsURL("URL")%>>Click Here</a> Would that work?

You could do somethinguse the Left function to only show the 1st 25 or so
characters of the url. But always put the full url in the href code for the link <a href="<% =CmdListInfo("URL") %>"><% = Left(CmdListInfo("URL").Value),25) %></a> http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/function-reference-46.htm [quoted text, click to view] "David Shorthouse" <davidshorthouse@shaw_SPAM.ca> wrote in message news:uLVDpfCTFHA.3652@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Hey folks, > > Is anyone aware of any sort of asp coding to deal with long URLs?

Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires."
well, if the url is very long anyway, who would type it of a printed
document? ;-) a solution might be do use some sort of redirecting on your site, ie when the user types in http://mysite.com/show.asp?id=123 he is being forwarded (request.redirect) to http://mysite.com/somethingverylong/andhereisthepage.asp?withsome=options... - thomas [quoted text, click to view] "David Shorthouse" <davidshorthouse@shaw_SPAM.ca> wrote in message news:urtAB9CTFHA.1384@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Thanks for the idea.
