ASP rendering wierdness

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

If you want a carriage return, use .

I couldn't reproduce your issue (it all appears on one line), but please
don't confuse plain text characters with HTML characters...

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

Reproduced! W2K SP3 server. Same behavior on a WS2003.

I can't explain it. That is a bit bizarre! If I throw in some other
characters at the end of the line, all the line breaks appear in the HTML.

<% Option Explicit %>
<%
Const STRING_1 = "/admin/UploadProgress2 .asp"
Const STRING_A = "AXFFile"
%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled </title>
</head>
<body>
<%=STRING_A%>.S erver = "<%=Request.Ser verVariables("S ERVER_NAME")%>"
<%=STRING_A%>.P ort = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT")%>


<%=STRING_A%>.O bjectName = "<%=STRING_ 1%>"
</body>
</html>

The line breaks show up with that. But if I remove the , they do
not.

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

What he was talking about is how the actual HTML source appears. The HTML
file has:
<%=STRING_A%>.S erver = "<%=Request.Ser verVariables("S ERVER_NAME")%>"
<%=STRING_A%>.P ort = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT")%>
<%=STRING_A%>.O bjectName = "<%=STRING_ 1%>"

which should appear as

AXFFile.Server = "oldharleyw eb"
AXFFile.Port = 80
AXFFile.ObjectN ame = "/admin/UploadProgress2 .asp"

when doing a view source. But instead, it appears as:

AXFFile.Server = "oldharleyw eb"
AXFFile.Port = 80AXFFile.Objec tName = "/admin/UploadProgress2 .asp"

I have seen similar behavior, wherein the space below is "dropped" from the
output:
<%=var1%> <%=var2%>

I get around it with non-breaking spaces...
<%=var1%>  <%=var2%>

....or concatenation.. .
<%=var1 & " " &var2%>

....and assume the reason has to do with optimization by the parser. Note
that in your example, there is a necessary (because of the quote) context
switch between lines 1&2, but the server-side blocks at the end of 2 and the
beginning of 3 could be considered a single block, which appears to be the
way it is processed.

doesn't do that for me. It appears as it should. Maybe in your copy
there's really not a CRLF in there. Just delete the LF between the
2nd and 3rd statement, and hit enter to put it back.

What does it matter what the HTML looks like?

**Phillip Windell** · Jul 21 '05, 07:41 AM

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

You need to ad a vbCRLF to the end of the line to force a CRLF at the end of
the line in the raw HTML.
Like this:

<%=STRING_A%>.S erver = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_NAME") & vbCRLF %>
<%=STRING_A%>.P ort = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT") & vbCRLF %>
<%=STRING_A%>.O bjectName = <%=STRING_1 & vbCRLF%>

Without the shortcut form of "response.write " it would look like this:

<%
Response.write STRING_A & ".Server = " &
Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_NAME") & vbCRLF
Response.write STRING_A & ".Port = " &
Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_PORT") & vbCRLF
Response.write STRING_A & ".ObjectNam e = " & STRING_1 & vbCRLF
%>

If you want the redered HTML to break the same way then add the right " "
at the end.

<%=STRING_A%>.S erver = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_NAME") & " " &
vbCRLF %>
<%=STRING_A%>.P ort = <%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT") & " " &
vbCRLF %>
<%=STRING_A%>.O bjectName = <%=STRING_1 & vbCRLF%> 

Without the shortcut form of "response.write " it would look like this:

<%
Response.write STRING_A & ".Server = " &
Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_NAME") & " " & vbCRLF
Response.write STRING_A & ".Port = " &
Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_PORT") & " " & vbCRLF
Response.write STRING_A & ".ObjectNam e = " & STRING_1 & " " & vbCRLF
%>

It matters because it's trying to assign property values to a
client-side ActiveX component (Software Artisans' XFile). If the two
lines are not rendered as separate lines of code, the ActiveX
component sees it as an invalid assignment statement, and causes the
entire page to fail (where my needs are concerned). Part of the
reason I abhor client-side validation and error-trapping....... ..

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

Thank you _SO_ much for testing it out, Ray. I can't tell you how
frustrated I when I found out what was happening, even though my
code's syntax was correct. I'm on hold with Microsoft right now, so
we'll see what they have to say about all this, and if there's any
hope for fixing it.

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

I know about the spacing behavior you described, and I always
explicitly declare a space (using  , or Response.Write) when
trying to separate two server-generated blocks of text. That
"problem" seems to be consistent, though, and is probably by design.

It's not as easy to work around the problem when dealing with
vBcRlf's, though. Sometimes the line-break is rendered, sometimes it
isn't; and according to people in this thread, it occurs on some boxes
and not others. Besides, I really don't want to have to attach
"vBcRlf" to the end of every line of code, just to make sure it's
rendered properly.....

Re: ASP rendering wierdness

Try re-adding the CRLF, and type in some spaces after
<%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT")%>.

Or force the CRLFs yourself with

<%
Response.Write STRING_A & ".Server = """ &
Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_NAME") & """" & char(13) & chr(10)
Response.Write STRING_A & ".Port= " & Request.ServerV ariables("SERVE R_PORT")
& char(13) & chr(10)
Response.Write STRING_A & ".ObjectNam e = " &
Request.ServerV ariables("STRIN G_1") & char(13) & chr(10)
%>

& avoid the situation entirely.

So, after a few days of the Microsoft customer service rep looking
into the problem, I'm told what I already know: that, if there's no
visible character appearing on the same line after the closing ASP tag
("%>"), all subsequent whitespace between the "%>" and the next
visible character will be disregarded. The only two solutions are: 1)
to make sure a visible character appears after the "%>" closing tag on
a given line (in my case, a hard-coded <%=vbcrlf%>), or 2) use
"Response.Write " statements to write out the text.

So, for my needs, I'll probably just stick with my original
workaround:

=============== =============== ============
<% Option Explicit

Const STRING_1 = "/admin/UploadProgress2 .asp"
Const STRING_A = "AXFFile" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled </title>
</head>
<body>
<%=STRING_A%>.S erver =
"<%=Request.Ser verVariables("S ERVER_NAME")%>"
<%=STRING_A%>.P ort =
<%=Request.Serv erVariables("SE RVER_PORT")%><% =vbcrlf%>
<%=STRING_A%>.O bjectName = "<%=STRING_ 1%>"
</body>
</html>
