Asp and passing paths

[spenn]

I have a web page that has a snapshotviewer builtin. I need to pass a
parameter through the hyperlink and have asp to take the value and insert the
path into the Snapshotviewer.
can somebody help.

Hi Spenn,

I'm not sure what you mean by "snapshotviewer" but to pass the link you add the parameter to it.

<a href="mypage.asp?myparam=myimage.jpg" >View Image</a>

Then in mypage.asp

You could use something like

<img src="<%=request.querystring("myparam")%>" >

in the page mypage.asp.

See my reply to your thread "Hyperlink Path" on 1st July, reproduced
here:
<quote>
I would use server-side scripting, for example ASP:
<%
dim pathname
pathname=request.querystring("path")
%>

<OBJECT ID="SnapshotViewer" WIDTH=736 HEIGHT=914
CLASSID="CLSID:F0E42D60-368C-11D0-AD81-00A0C90DC8D9">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentX" VALUE="16722">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentY" VALUE="11774">
<PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="65536">
<PARAM NAME="SnapshotPath"
VALUE= "<%=pathname%>" valuetype="ref">
<PARAM NAME="Zoom" value ="0" >
<PARAM NAME="AllowContextMenu" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="ShowNavigationButtons" VALUE="-1">
</OBJECT>


The calling link would be similar to
<a href="snapshotpage.asp?path=requiredpath>snapshot</a>

I have no idea whether this will work or not.

What do I put in snapshotpage.asp Page?
Do I put code?
I don't know?

 

[Ronx]

<%
dim pathname
pathname=request.querystring("path")
%>

<OBJECT ID="SnapshotViewer" WIDTH=736 HEIGHT=914
CLASSID="CLSID:F0E42D60-368C-11D0-AD81-00A0C90DC8D9">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentX" VALUE="16722">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentY" VALUE="11774">
<PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="65536">
<PARAM NAME="SnapshotPath"
VALUE= "<%=pathname%>" valuetype="ref">
<PARAM NAME="Zoom" value ="0" >
<PARAM NAME="AllowContextMenu" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="ShowNavigationButtons" VALUE="-1">
</OBJECT>

(Assumes snapshot.asp is the page with the activeX object

 

[spenn]

index_am.html is the web page with the active X object.
I tried the code it does not work.
In the hyperlink I am passing a path that needs to be passed to index_am.html.

 

[spenn]

do i need to add something that tells what html has the path?

 

[Ronx]

No.
The code is almost complete[1].
index_am.html must be renamed as index_am.asp, or it will not work at
all.

In the page passing the path you need a hyperlink similar to

<a href="index_am.asp?path=pathtobepassed">Snapshot for
pathtobepassed</a>

where pathtobepassed should be replaced with the path you wish to be
passed to the ActiveX control.

[1]Note that if the path contains a / or \ these must be replaced by
entity values - it is probably easier to replace these within the asp
code in index_am.asp. If you post samples of the paths you need to
pass it will be easy to give examples.
