Hello everybody,

I am new on this great site, and I'm hoping to find some help here.

I am designing a big website and for the first time I am using ASP pages. My problem is that it doesn't work when I make a link from a HTML page to an ASP page.

What I don't understand is that it's just a simple link from one page to an other... Can you help me? I'm sure that it shouldn't be more complicated than that...

In Brief:
I create a new folder, using Dreamweaver MX I create an HTML page called "Index.htm", then an ASP page called "Lasttesting.asp". Then I make a link from the first page to the second. I test it, the "Index.htm" opens fine, I click on the link and I get this:

============================================
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Inetpub/
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
-^
 
The thing is that if I test the ASP page alone, it works fine. Therefore I think that I set up the IIS correctly.

What I mean is that HTML pages display fine, ASP pages display fine as well. It's when I link one to the other that it doesn't work.

Thanks
 
Using coldfusion with .cfm extensions links work fine. Haven't used .asp much. I think the key lies with the XSL style sheet. Read up on how this interacts with your .asp page. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Peace,

Shane
