Tom_Nguyen · June 3rd, 2004, 02:58 AM

Hi all,

I use "option explicit" in asp and get complilation error when loading it. If I comment it out it run ok?

I run it on windows xp, win 2k - iis.

the error message: Microsoft VBSCript compilation (0x800A0400) Expected statement.

Any advice is appreciated.
the code:
------------------
<% Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<html>
<body>
<%
 If DatePart("h", Time()) >= 12 then
 ' It is after noon
 Response.Write "Good Evening!"
 Else
 Response.Write "Good Morning"
 End If

%>

</body>

</html>

-----------

regards

Tom

Hi Tom,

The error is caused by an incorrect page directive. Instead of <% language you'll need <%@ language. So this will work

Code:

:<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<html>
<body>
<%
    If DatePart("h", Time()) >= 12 then
        ' It is after noon
        Response.Write "Good Evening!"
    Else
        Response.Write "Good Morning"
    End If


%>

Cheers,

Imar
