asp pages ignoring lines of script

[s_m_b]

Can't figure this one.
web page with vbscript asp, w2k/iis5
The page opens with no errors (syntax errors get picked up just fine)
but. If a line contains a variable that's either not dimmed, or has no
value, or returns a bad value from say instr(), the line is simply ignored,
or if its inside a loop or for/next, that block is ignored.

any ideas?

chuck <%Option explicit%> at the top of the page to make sure your code
is correct before any actions are taken

Stop writing bad code.

Check all inputs. Use Option Explicit. Test heavily. Do not use On
Error Resume Next until the code is fully debugged.

Probably 80% of any decent code is error trapping and handling.

if only that worked (sorry - should have mentioned that I'd tried this!)
