Heuh? Add code to what? What 102 lines?
Can you please specify a book version, chapter number and page number and elaborate a bit about the problem you're having?

Hi I went back and redid the chap 7 items in dreamweaver mx 2004. I finished the calculator.asp item on page 258. When I try f12 after putting the file, I get a page can't be displayed and it states that I have a 500.100 http, internal server error asp error iis. so I wanted to include the code for review. when i hit the # sign I get what looks like html in the page, like this - So my question is, what is the method for including the actual code without entering it as it's 102 lines. Or is it necessary to enter it and is it possible to just attach the file somehow. thanks dls

You can simply copy and paste the code here.
For readability, please enclose it in code tags (with the # symbol you described) and add linebreaks to layout your code so the page doesn't get too wide. Use the Preview button to see how your post will end up.
The code you saw does indeed look like HTML, but is replaced with actual HTML when the page is viewed.
Also, try this:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Choose Tools | Options
3. Switch to the Advanced tab
4. Look for an option called Display Friendly HTTP Errors or something like that and make sure it's not selected.
5. Run your asp page again. You should get more details about the error.
Cheers,
Imar

Hi Ian I unchecked http friendly messages, f12'ed the calculator asp and got a similar screen. code follows:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
Dim dblResult
Dim dblNumber1
Dim dblNumber2
If Request.Form("btnCalculate") <> "" Then
dblNumber1 = CDbl(Request.Form("txtNumber1"))
dblNumber2 = CDbl(Request.form("txtNumber2"))
Select Case Request Request.form("1stOperator")
Case "+"
dblResult = dblNumber1 + dblNumber2
Case "-"
dblResult = dblNumber1 - dblNumber2
Case "*"
dblResult = dblNumber1 * dblNumber2
Case "/"
dblResult = dblNumber1 / dblNumber2
End Select
End If

Weird. You're supposed to get something like this:Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'
Syntax error
/calculator.asp, line 10
Case "+"
You could try opening the site in FireFox as it shows more error detail by default. Without a detailed error page, debugging code will be pretty difficult.
Anyway, look at this:
Select Case Request Request.form("1stOperator")
This should be:
Select Case Request.Form("1stOperator")
I also noticed you're using 1stOperator with a 1 (one) and not an l (el). Right now, this is not a problem, because you also named the drop downlist 1stOperator.
However, you may run into this with other examples, so if you find you get errors, check out your 1 vs l usage...
Cheers,
P.S. Ian??
