Can anyone help, I want to make a database driven WAP page that just collects a list of headlines from the database.  I can't get this to work, can anyone see any errors in the below code?
 


<%@ Language = "JScript"; %><% Response.ContentType = "text/vnd.wap.wml";
%><?xml version="1.0"?>


<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN"
                 &nbs p;    "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.2.xml">


<wml>
   <card id="card1" title="Testing">
      <p>
         Testing<br/>
<%
dim Conn 
dim FilePath 
dim SQL 
Dim RsUser 


'Connection to Database 
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 


FilePath = Server.MapPath("db/database.mdb") 
Conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & FilePath & ";" 


'SQL Query String 
SQL = "Select * FROM news ORDER By date" 


'Set the Recordset 
Set RSUser = Conn.Execute (SQL) 


'Print the Recordset 
RSUser.movefirst 
Do while not RSUser.EOF 


 


   Response.Write (RSUser("headline"))

RSUser.movenext


Loop 



%>
      </p>


   </card>
</wml>
 
All that I can get to displat are the bits shown in bold.

im not the best with WML.
 but that looks ok, only thing that looks out of place is the

 "<%@ Language = "JScript"; %>"

have you tried it without that line, also make sure the content type command is correct, as number of times ive forgotten that section..LOL

I have replace that the code before the opening wml tab with

 


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
 
Still does not work.

are

Dim Conn dim FilePath dim SQL Dim RsUser

all on the same line within the file OR 
is it just the WWF formatting done that

if it is like the aboe you need to only have one Dim then the veriables sepereated by a comma

so all you see is 
title="Testing">      <p>         Testing<br/>

if you take the title out does it only show Testing that in shown on the right above?

if so then its a problem with the Title tag.

i take it your not trying to show records at present as they are commented out?

It is the formatting I will try and copy it in a line at a time below (the first few lines of this code are slightly different to the above)
 


<?xml version="1.0"?>


<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"



 


<wml>


   <card id="card1" title="Testing">


      <p>


         Testing<br/>


<%


dim Conn 


dim FilePath


dim SQL 


Dim RsUser 


 


'Connection to Database 


Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")


FilePath = Server.MapPath("db/database.mdb") 


Conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & FilePath & ";" 


 


'SQL Query String 


SQL = "Select * FROM news ORDER By date" 


 


'Set the Recordset 


Set RSUser = Conn.Execute (SQL)


 


'Print the Recordset 


RSUser.movefirst 


Do while not RSUser.EOF 


 


 


 


   Response.Write (RSUser("headline"))


RSUser.movenext


 


Loop 


 


 


%>


      </p>


 


   </card>


</wml>

im not sure whats wrong but if this helps, this is a card from an example 




<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">


      


<wml>

<card id="no1" title="Card 1"> 

<p>Hello World!</p>

</card>


      


<card id="no2" title="Card 2"> 

<p>Welcome to our WAP Tutorial!</p>

</card>

</wml>


it is best to set the fields you want to get from the SQL, so News.titletext , not *

ok.. right im not sure but it maybe because your using a Set rsser = connExecute.

 not sure if thats rite or not as i haven't used it  before but it maybe because you haven't set the rsUser as a recordset
