Ok, this will probably win the stupidest question of the week contest, but here it goes...

I'm trying to write a web page that lists the files in a certain directory. The code works if I put it into a .vbs file (using msgbox instead of Response.Write), but fails in a .asp, .htm, or any other type of IE file. I'm not getting any errors, but simply a blank IE page.

Here is my code.

Code: 
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test1.asp</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
	strDir = "\\Server\share\"
	Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	Set objDir = FSO.GetFolder(strDir)

	Response.Write("<tr>test")
	For Each aItem In objDir.Files
		response.write("<td><b>" & aItem & "</b></td>)
	Next
	Response.Write("</tr>")
	
%>
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this!!

You need the rest of the table: tr cannot exist by itself. Try adding a <table> after <body> and a </table> before </body>

Ooops, knew I had to be forgetting something. However, it still didn't work. I'm still getting a blank page.

Here is how the new code looks:

Code: 
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test1.asp</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
	strDir = "\\server\share\"
	Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	Set objDir = FSO.GetFolder(strDir)
	
	Response.Write("<table>")
	Response.Write("<tr>")
	For Each aItem In objDir.Files
		response.write("<td><b>" & aItem & "</b></td>)
	Next
	Response.Write("</tr>")
	Response.Write("</Table>")
	
%>
</body>
</html>

This is residing on my PC, not the server. Do you think that could have anything to do with it?

Thanks for your help!!
