| You may find it useful to have your copy of
M&A available as a reference while you work on
your labs. The information needed to complete
this assignment is covered in M&A chapters 2, 3
and 4.
You will create many files during the class
so it would be a good idea to organize them by
assignment. A good directory name for this
assignment would be A04.
1.
ClockLoop.asp Add a For
Next loop to the code
shown in class so that the clock (and
heading) repeat 10 times.
The following questons require the use of
simple HTML form. Below is the code.
<center>
<form>
<p>Please enter your name:
<input type="text" name="FirstName">
<input type="submit" value="Submit
Name"></p>
</form>
<% If request("FirstName") > "" then
response.write "<h1>Hello " &
request("FirstName")
end if
%>
2.
HelloForm.asp - Use Aspen to paste the
code above into a file on and name it
HelloForm.asp.
3.
GuessGame.asp - Use an
if statement similar to the one in
greeting example to give the user hints as
they try to guess a number:
| Value entered |
Hint |
| <4 |
Way too low |
| 4-6 |
Low |
| 7 |
Correct! |
| 8-10 |
High |
| > 10 |
Way too high |
4.
AgeCalculator.asp - Write a script that
calculates a person's age in years, months and
days. Use the dateDiff function to calculate
the difference between the current date and the
user's birthday. The syntax for displaying the
difference in years is:
dateDiff("yyyy", request("strBirthDate"),
date()).
Read the
DateDiff documentation to
see how to display age in the three formats
(years, months and days).
5.
CookieTally.asp - It is easy to read
and write cookies in ASP. The syntax to write a
cookie named "myCookie" with a single key named
"Tally" and a value of 4 is:
response.cookies("myCookie")("Tally") = 4.
To read the same cookie the syntax is:
request.cookies("myCookie")("Tally").
Write a script that uses a cookie to keeps a
running tally of the values entered by a user.
Tip 1: All data retrieved from HTML
forms is of type "string." Before you try to
perform an addition operation you will need to
convert the string to type double floating
point (otherwise VBScript will concatenate the
strings rather than add the values). Use the
VBScript function CDbl (documentation
& examples) to convert user inputs from
type string to type double floating point as
follows:
dblInput
= CDbl(request("strInput"))
Cookies also store data in a
string format. You will need to convert the
data retrieved from the cookie to a numerical
format before attempting the addition::
dblCookie = Cdbl(request.cookies("MyCookie")("Tally"))
Tip 2: To see the contents of the
cookie created by the example
click here.
Tip 3: If you would like to see your
cookie in the folder C:\Documents and
Settings\Your Name\Cookies you will need to
give it an expiration date. The syntax for
setting a cookie's expiration date is:
response.cookies("myCookie").expires = date() +
30
This will give the cookie named "myCookie"
an expiration date of 30 days from the day it
was last written. |
