The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Issue with Function

Asked by kevp75 in Active Server Pages (ASP)

I have a download function that I use to initiate the open/save dialogue.  While it does what it is supposed to, the method of using it is to put the function call in a seperate page.

The issue I am having is, when I try to use some javascript to close the popup window, the code for the window closing get added to the file on download (txt files).  If I take out the javascript nothing extra gets added to the file, but the popped up window also does not close.

Please see this link to see what I mean:
http://www.getmysupport.com/filemanager/

If you click the floppy disk icon and save or open the file, you will see the javascript in the text file.

The function is:
Function DownloadFile( strFile, strDownloadFilename )
     Dim strFilename,objStream,objFilesystem,objFilestream
     Dim intFileLength
     strFilename = strFile
     Response.Buffer = True
     Response.Clear
     Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
     objStream.Open
     objStream.Type = 1
     Set objFilesystem = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     if not objFilesystem.FileExists(strFilename) then
          Response.Write("<h1>Error</h1>: " & strFilename & " does not exist<p>")
          Response.End
     end if
     Set objFilestream = objFilesystem.GetFile( strFilename )
     intFilelength = objFilestream.size
     objStream.LoadFromFile( strFilename )
     if err then
          Response.Write("<h1>Error: </h1>" & err.Description & "<p>")
          Response.End
     end if
     if Len( Trim(strDownloadFilename) ) > 0 then
          strDownloadFilename = Trim( strDownloadFilename )
     else
          strDownloadFilename = objFilestream.name
     end if
     Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & strDownloadFilename
     Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", intFilelength
     Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
     for i = 0 to objStream.size
          i = i + 128000
          Response.BinaryWrite(objStream.Read(128000))
          Response.Flush
     next
     Set objFilestream = Nothing
End Function

and the code for the download.asp page is:
strPath = sPath & uPath(0,0) & "\" & fDown(3,0) 'full path to the file, and the filename
Call DownloadFile(strPath,fDown(3,0))
closeWindow()'to close the popped up window
