Running ASP

Hi I am having problems trying to run ASP code on my PC.
I have a lap top and I have IIS on it running windows 2000.
When I type in simple ASP code and try viewing it in the browser, it displays
a blank page. But when I am connected to the internet it works. I want to be able
to do this off line. I have followed the steps in the ASP book but no help there.
Would anyone have any ideas???

If you have a blank page, the problem may not be with IIS. More likely the coding.
Copy and paste this one to Notepad,save the file as something.ASP.
Move it to your home directory or the default one(c:\inetpub\wwwroot). Open IIS, right click on the file, left click on 'browse' to see if it's work:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Case Select issue</title>
</head>

<body>
<form action="Done.asp" method=post>
Chose the month:<br>
<select name="Month">
<option value="January">January</option>
<option value="February">February</option>
<option value="March">March</option>
<option value="April">April</option>
<option value="May">May</option>
<option value="June">June</option>
<option value="July">July</option>
<option value="August">August</option>
<option value="September">September</option>
<option value="October">October</option>
<option value="November">November</option>
<option value="December">December</option>
</select>
<p>Chose the Date</p>
<select name="Date">
<p>Prefer date</p>
<option value="01">01</option>
<option value="02">02</option>
<option value="03">03</option>
<option value="04">04</option>
<option value="05">05</option>
<option value="06">06</option>
<option value="07">07</option>
<option value="08">08</option>
<option value="09">09</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="12">12</option>
<option value="13">13</option>
<option value="14">14</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="16">16</option>
<option value="17">17</option>
<option value="18">18</option>
<option value="19">19</option>
<option value="20">20</option>
<option value="21">21</option>
<option value="22">22</option>
<option value="23">23</option>
<option value="24">24</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="26">26</option>
<option value="27">27</option>
<option value="28">28</option>
<option value="29">29</option>
<option value="30">30</option>

What about Done.asp ?
Valerie, you could make a page as follows:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Case Select issue</title>
</head>

<body>

<%= Trim(Form.Request("Month")) %>
<%= Trim(Form.Request("Date")) %>
</body>

</html>

and save it as Done.asp
