Still having problem with ASP

EdRev · Aug 30, 2000

First, i thought it has something to do with the way I set-up PWS on my PC. The set-up of the transaction server failed. I downloaded a "fixer" for this from msdn and after hours of working with it i finally got it right. But this didn't resolve my original problem - the ASP code still didn't work on this simple code:

<HTML>

<BODY>

<B>Welcome to my webpage hosted on PWS!</B><BR>

The time is now: <%=TIME%><BR>

</BODY>

</HTML>

The output is:

Welcome to my webpage hosted on PWS!
The time is now:

Do i need to install anything else beside PWS?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Try adding <%@language=vbscript%> before your <HTML> tag

Thanks Nick but I had the same problem with this block of code:
<%@ LANGUAGE = "VBScript" %>
<html><head></head>
<body>
Today is <%= Now %>.
<% if Weekday(Now) = vbSaturday then
response.write "Have a good weekend!"
else
response.write "Hang in there.....!"
end if %>
</body></html>

The output was:

Today is.Have a good weekend!Hang in there......!

Just curious did you save the page with the asp extension?

stingman1,

yes i did! i finally figured it out though. for some reason, when i double clicked on the .asp file it opened as C:\(filename) instead of the url address which is http:\\localhost\(filename). so what i did is open up ie and type-in the complete url address and it worked.

thanks, stingman1
