Min Requirements for an ASP Page

[Vamsi]

HI,

Can you advice me on this problem. I am able to display
a .html page on my browser, but when i add some asp code
into this page and try to open from browser, it takes me
to "PAge cannot be displayed".

I wonder if i am missing something on my computer for an
asp page to process!!

Thx.
Vamsi

Pages containing asp-code should be displayed by way of a server having
asp interpreting capabilities, either online or local.

Browsers do NOT have these capabilities.

Browsers normally an disignedly(?) only can accomodate the html code
outputted to them by an asp-interpreter.

So if you want to test your asp-page locally on your own pc ans browser,
you should install a local IIS server [or alike?]. XP-prof can do this.

Some ASP code strings pass unnoticed through a brouwser,
when an asp coded page is sent uninterpreted to a browser,
like:

<%@Language=vbscript%>

or:

<!--#include virtual ="/mystupiderrors.asp"-->

or:

<%
response.write request("action")
%>

others do not.

I never cared to find out why, yet.

Do you have a web server?

If you use Win2003 Server, make sure you set 'Allow' on Activ Server Pages,
under IIS Manager.
