About the 'Response' object.

[Robbart]

Hi!

I'm a true newbie to ASP, just bought a book etc. etc.

Finally when I was to write my first piece of VBScript code, i.e:

<SCRIPT Language=VBScript RUNAT=Server>

Response.Write &quot;Hello world!&quot;

</SCRIPT>

...I get errormsg: &quot;Object required: 'Response'&quot;
..why?

I'm running Win98 using 'Personal Web Server'.

Any replies are appreciated!

Regards.

PS: I usually code in C++, so you needn't bother about describing &quot;what an object is&quot; etc. Thanks.

All ASP code must be surrounded with <% and %> tags...



<% Response.Write &quot;Hello world!&quot; %>


should give result....

Well, it didn't give results, but at least there was no error. Nothing happened though.

TEST.ASP:

<%
Response.Write &quot;Hello world!&quot;
%>

By the way, you do not use <% %> around script that is already inside a <Script> blocks. <% %> is only for script embedded in HTML. As coded, it is just fine.
<SCRIPT Language=VBScript RUNAT=Server>

Response.Write &quot;Hello world!&quot;

</SCRIPT>
