ASP tutorial

[paradiser]

ok so im trying this ASP tutorial on HTML Goodies and i get to the second page.
It gives you some script to test out
so i put it in and save it as .asp and it doesnt work.
ive tried this in dreamweaver, frontpage, and notepad and it doesnt work.
then the goodies site doesnt say anything about what happens if it doesnt work :S
so i dunno what im doin wrong.
I have a clue, lemme know.

HoSs :rolleyes:

HTML goodies does not focus much on asp I am guessing this is because their own servers dont support it. They are more into cgi then any of the server side languages I think. If you have your heart set on asp or thats all your host supports like my case you should buy a book. I bought a good book called instant asp.net applications, its by greg bukzec. Its a pretty good teacher I think. Its crammed full o' real word examples. If you know visual basic you will do awesome in asp the only difference is that you connect to data bases in different ways, you use them constantly. The actualy structure though is exactly like vb, if you have ever raw coded vb without positioning the buttons and all but rather doing it with code its a little like that. Just buy a book and read up that one of the best things I think you can do and also experiment. So far it has helped me, I seem to be learning!

I started with "sams Teach yourself ASP in 21 days"

So did I - it's a good guide, every ASP developer should have one!

Just curious, paradiser, but do you have IIS installed on your machine?
