Asp – global.asax and classic ASP

asp-classicasp.netglobal-asaxglobal.asa

Now please excuse me if this is a stupid question – BUT… In my ASP.NET apps, I have a global.asax file that catches an error and emails me the details. 'Could' I put the global.asax in the root of a classic ASP file and if there was an ASP error it would trigger the global.asax?

Again sorry if this is a dumb question.. If not any ideas on how I could re-create something like this for classic ASP?

Best Answer

In Classic ASP, you have the global.asa file to achieve similar functionality to what global.asax does in ASP.NET

For example

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">


Sub Application_OnStart

    'Application logic to run on start

End Sub

</SCRIPT>

One solution would be to use IIS Manager to configure the website (created for your ASP.NET app by Visual Studio) and add a virtual directory for each of the common folders so that (by the 'virtual' nature of the virtual directory) they will 'appear' to be in the same root folder as your ASP.NET app.

/root
  app_1
  app_2
  dotnetapp_1
    <virtual>img
    <virtual>js
  ...
  img
  js
  style

You can probably script IIS or edit an XML file if you need to do this in bulk, and I'm sure there must be an even more elegant way to do something similar that doesn't require to much mouse work!

Javascript – Change the selected value of a drop-down list with jQuery

jQuery's documentation states:

[jQuery.val] checks, or selects, all the radio buttons, checkboxes, and select options that match the set of values.

This behavior is in jQuery versions 1.2 and above.

You most likely want this:

$("._statusDDL").val('2');
