First of all, you posted to the wrong forum.
This is the ASP.NET forum, and ASP.NET has *NOTHING* to do with ASP or VBScript.
From now on, post in the beginner's ASP forum.
Secondly, you aren't using Microsoft's ASP. You are using a version that orginally ChiliSoft produced and then, when they were bought by Sun, was supported for a SHORT TIME by Sun. The product is no longer sold or marketed by Sun, so you kind of have to work around whatever limitations or differences there are from Microsoft's version.
I used to work at ChiliSoft, but that was long before the version that you are using was created.
The best I can guess is that the SunOne version of ASP is *NOT* recognizing your first line there as a page directive. Since the default language for ASP (even with SunOne) is VBScript, I would just remove that first line.
If that still doesn't work, then the problem *may* be that SunOne expects to see the OPTION EXPLICIT line within its own <%...%> block.
In any case, I guess I'd suggest you change your code to
Code:
<% Option Explicit %>
<%
' *******************************
' * Helloworl1.asp
' *
... rest same ...
And from now on, post in the ASP forum, not ASP.NET, okay?
By the by...ASP is obsolete, even from Microsoft. MS has pretty much abandoned it to let it die a slow death. I hate to tell you that you are wasting your time, but I think you are. You really *OUGHT* to stop learing ASP and learn ASP.NET, instead. The tools for ASP.NET are SO much better, and they are FREE from MS.
ASP/VBscript
