I can see there's a big confusion in your mind.

1) What you referred to as VBScript code are included between <% and 
%>,
right?  These codes are executed in the server.
2) Response.write is executed by the server, while document.write is
executed by the client.  Don't mix them up.
3) Changing .js to .asp shouldn't do what you expected because, for 
example,
document.write won't be executed by ASP.
4) I don't know what those "offbackcolor" are, but they're probably not
standard client-side stuff.

	In conclusion, make a pure client-side HTML file, check that it
works properly before adding server-side stuff.

	Good luck
