Error not displaying 1

cottontop · Jun 14, 2004

Some assistance please.

I'm forcing errors in my code to learn how they show in IE6, but they don't show! I only get "The page cannot be displayed" message.

If I remove the error, the page performs as expected.

Aren't I'm suppose to see an error of some type?

Code:

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>
<% OPTION EXPLICIT %>
<% myfirstvariable =2 %>
<html>
<Body>
The variable name "myfirstvariable" has a value of
<%
'misspell the variable to force error
Response.Write(myfirtvariable)
%>
</Body>
</html>

At the bottom of the results page there's:
"HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer"

How do I get to see the errors?

Thanks,

Go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and then uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages". This should then show you the actual messages.
