My First ASP

cej2583 · July 5th, 2003, 03:33 PM

I've followed all directions for creating you very first ASP as instructed in Microsoft's HOW TO: Build you First ASP Application and the page is blank when I launch the ASP file. The title shows up as programmed but any code related to VBScript seems to be ignored by my system. Anything obvious I'm missing when building ASP applications?

<%@ Language="Vbscript" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>My First ASP Page</title>
</head>
<body>

<%
    'Use an apostrophe to delimit code comment lines like this one.
    'Declare variables.
    Dim strGreeting, strTime, strTotal

    'Process and calculate.
    strTotal = 10 * 21
    strTime = Now()

    'Create a string that inserts the value of the two variables above.
    strGreeting = "Hello World! The current date and time are: " & strTime & ".<BR>" & _
"The result of our calculation is: " & strTotal

    'Output the results to the browser.
    Response.write strGreeting

%>

</body>
</html>

There is nothing wrong with your code. The error is most probably within your IIS setup or the way you view the page. Are you using Dreamweaver/Frontpage to code, if so you should check your Site definition and setup one more time.

When I started with ASP i experienced the same error, because i 'openend' the file in Exploreer instead of writing the location in the address field. To view a page you must write the following in the address field : http://YourServerName/YourApplicatio...r/FileName.asp
