Dec 16 2000 ********************************************************** Welcome to the latest CoverYourASP newsletter! ********************************************************** For a quiet week there's a lot to talk about! Here's the Diary first. ------ 13 Dec ------ - Robert Litz found another bug - this time in the deprecated ArticleAdmin.asp. There should have been a call to LookForMagicWord - see Security.asp for more details on this function. ------ 12 Dec ------ - Improved the MemberServices page - you can now subscribe/unsubscribe from the newsletter with a OneClick! (Sorry, Amazon.com). Thanks for the suggestion Hakan ------ 9 Dec ------ - Robert Litz pointed out that my DBAddRecord.asp page didnt work with tables whose fields contained spaces. I now wrap the field names in [ ]. - Modified MailToList.asp - the file I use to email my newsletter to all the subscribers. The change to ASPMail and the list continuing to grow has led to the script taking longer than the default 90 second script timeout. To stop the script timing out I added a new line: Server.ScriptTimeout=900; // set timeout to 15 minutes **** The new article entitled "Object Oriented Programming with JavaScript Classes" was certainly popular. It generated over 2,500 page views in the first week, and an unusual response. On AspCode.com it was the first article of mine to be rated alternately as "lousy" by one person, and "excellent" the next! **** I'm pleased to announce the 10,000th view of the download page today. I don't track how many people have downloaded the site, but I have to assume the vast majority have. **** A new "mini-article" was uploaded last night. Following a question from a reader in an email I wrote some code to allow you to create named recordsets. Nothing astounding about it - it's again demonstrating the amazing "expando properties" of an Object (this is Microsofts name I hasten to add). Take it from an old C programmer, it still seems amazing to me that you can write code like this:    myObject [ 'my name' ] = 'james'; Read it at http://CoverYourASP.com/NamedRecordsets.asp **** Added another spider to the list in utils/Init.asp. "FlashGet" is the name of yet another offline download program that tried to crawl my site this week. All my pages serve up a polite notice to spiders saying "You can download the whole site for FREE!!!" **** Following up from last weeks question about installing a 404 handler in PWS, I confirmed for myself that it can't be done in any "documented" way. I did found a reference in /windows/system/setup/IIS.INF, but I don't know what effect editing that will have (in other words, don't do it). John Peterson (ASP 101 webmaster) was kind enough to let me know that Lewis Moten's article that I discussed was published around 3/31/00. He documented that PWS didn't support it at that time. **** Going off track now slightly, I visited some Flash sites recently that I found referenced from Shawn Jackson's excellent site, ActionJackson.com. Check out the links from his Cool Stuff page; http://www.actionjackson.com/coolstuff/default.asp The Balthaser.com and Kimble.org sites blew me away. I'm a card-carrying plain HTML guy, but I want some of this, even if I have to hide it on my home page! Anyone want to trade some ASP work for some flash, or offer advice on how to have a play with it? Best Book? **** Hero(es) of the Week! Maybe this OpenSource movement does work. Kerry Garrison continues on his crusade to help me understand MySQL, and now Pawel Fecko has offered to help out too. I'll take you both up on it soon, but in the meantime thanks for the offer! **** Kathy asked a popular question: "I am ready to begin using asp.  Trying to figure out which book is best for me.  I don't have windows2000 at this time so I don't want a book geared toward it.  Also, everything I read says get a book for asp with javascript, not vbscript (because vbscript is on the way out).So, which do you recommend to a beginner based on this? Thanks!" Kathy, the o/s you use makes no difference. I like JavaScript, but it's still down to personal preference. Saying VBS is on the way out is like saying gas engines are on the way out. Because of the latest DotNet releases I doubt that anyone would disagree, but it isn't happening soon. VBS is considered easier to use for beginners and is more commonly sought in the job marketplace. Still, like I said, I much prefer JavaScript. It's more like a real language, like C++ and it's new cousin C#! I show an excellent JavaScript book (the one with a Rhino on the cover) on the http://CoverYourASP.com/Resources.asp page. Also, if you write in JavaScript, my code and I can help! To learn ASP for the first time, go for Sams "Teach Yourself Active Server Pages in 21 days", also available at the same page. **** More and more sites list my content. I added three more this week to my banners - desASP.com, aspGuys.com and 2eNetWorX.com. Talks have started about allowing advertisers on the site, but they will take the place of the blocks that rotate around the right side of my pages. I just can't see the 468x60's ever fitting into my design. Thanks to Gavin at Hexillion for some advice about what component companies look for when advertising on the web - it's a whole new world! **** That's it! I've made a lot of new friends this week, and doubled the membership list. And it's nearly Christmas! Now, back to work on the manual...
