As you advance on the learning curve with ASP, you come across lots of small pieces of code, that we call as Code Snippets. These are some scripts that do some very useful work when it comes to executing the script. Given below are a few scripts, that I wrote while working my way around the proprietary scripts that I have developed (BlogMe and Tagger Pro).

  • Database Paging : Database paging has always been a problem when it comes to classic asp. But here is a script that makes it easier and which is very effecient.
  • Dynamic Table Creation : While working with user-registration and multi-user environment, you may want to create tables on the fly, using the data submitted by the user. This snippet does just that, and makes it very easy to manage huge databases.
  • Flood Control : Ever wanted to prevent your message board or guestbook from being flooded by unwanted hackers and lamers?? Check this script out. It allows you to set a time limit between two posts. if a user posts a message, then he cannot post another until 'n' seconds have elapsed. You can configure 'n'.
