Re: A very simple issue

The norm is not to click on these types of files, but request them through a
web server. This is true both of ASP and ASP.NET. I imagine you could set it
to spin up INternet Explorer, etc., when you click on the file, but it is
not the normal behavior.

A very simple issue

I'm running Vista Business, no SP yet and
i'm trying to create a simple example of
how to apply ASP to a webpage.

The document is very short - containing
the following lines of code.


<%response.write("Hello World!")%>


However, as i try to click the file, it
opens in the browser but no text is
displayed. What could i be doing wrong?

RE: A very simple issue

There is no Response object in a classic asp page when you click on the file
in windows explorer. You need to request the page via HTTP, e.g.
"http://localhost/myIISappname/mypage.asp"
Does that help?

Yes, it does. However, it doesn't solve my problem. :)

I'm currently without access to a server where i could
put the document and then request it.

Perhaps it could be an idea to install a server locally
on my laptop. What do you think?

RE: SV: A very simple issue

You must have a webserver installed and running on the local machine for
development if you want to be able to request a page in the normal way it
would be requested in production - via HTTP. If it is classic ASP, you have
no choice but to install and setup IIS which comes with windows Xp and
windows Vista ( most versions).

To be a success, arm yourself with the tools you need and learn how to use
them.

So, having VS.NET 2008 Express doesn't cover that? I was
sort of expecting that installing it would be sufficient.

Also, IIS is supposed to come with Vista. Will i still have to
install it separately? I thought it was already there on my
system and ready to go...

I've found the IIS options and activated them. Now i get what
you ment by "coming with Vista" but needed to "be installed".

Still, the other question remains - do i need to install a
separate webserver or is it included in Vista Business as
well and only needing activation?

Thanks for the help, by the way!
