Error handling in ASP

[Johnnie100]

I've got a class in ASP and instantiate an object with it. Within the class is no error handling as yet. I understand that VBScript error handling is similar to that in VB - I have tried using the same sort of error handling but am getting a syntax error.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. The code is;

Public Function GetURL(ByRef pStrURL)
'Variables
Dim lObjSpider
Dim strText

'Return if no URL has been passed
If pStrURL = "" Then Exit Function

'On Error Resume Next

'Create spider object
Set lObjSpider = Server.CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP&quot


' Could not create Internet Control
If Err Then
GetURL = "Error: " & Err.Description
Exit Function
End If

'On Error Goto 0
On Error Goto Error_Handler

With lObjSpider
.Open "GET", pStrURL, False, "", ""
.Send
GetURL = .ResponseText
End With
Set LobjSpider = Nothing

'strHTML = GetURL
RetrievedstrHTML = "Andy tester text"
'Return
Exit Function

'Error handling
Error_Handler:
GetURL=""
End Function

uncomment "On Error Resume Next" then use

if err <> 0 then
<< handler >>
exit function or whatever
end if My daily story these days:
9am => 3p [flush] => 6p => 10p 12a => 1a 3a => fri

You have mixed two types of error handling in your statement. You should use either the method bgaines has listed (that you have partially already) or use the Error_Handler tag you have created by doing an On Error Goto Error_Handler. Either method should work exactly like you are used to in VB.
