VB Script on ASP

[Charlix]

I a relatively ignorant about ASP. I am using IIS 5.1 and “FrontPage 2000” to author ASP pages. I find that the VB Script code I write for ASP objects doesn't work. For example the following code produces a blank page when I try to “Preview” it in my browser.

********************************
<%
Response.Write “This is a test ASP page.”
%%
***************************************

When I try to use “Server.CreateObject or any of the other ASP objects, such a Server, Request, etc I get an error message.

What am I doing wrong?

Try
<%
Response.Write &quot;Testing...&quot;
%>

And how do you preview you asp page?
1. like c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\test.asp?

2. http:\\localhost\test.asp?

Only second way it will work

Please note that this is me having a really bad day and so therefore I am being pedantic:

It's not http:\\localhost (although a lot of browsers will probably correct it), it's

http://localhost

Just in case there's any confusion.

Yep, that's true.
I'm having a bad rainy day also, i didnt noticed the error.

Tnaks for pointing out the typo in my post. I think I may have found the problem. When I try to make a new web with &quot;FrontPage&quot; I get this message:

The web server at &quot;

http://mainoffice&quot;

does not appear to have the FrontPage server extentions installed.

Yet when I go the the control panel's &quot;windows components wizard&quot; for 'Internet Information Services (IIS) it says that the FrontPage extentions are installed.

I will try to resolve this problem and let you know.
