    Unhappy

    I found many free hosting services offering asp capabilities, but I have no idea how to use asp, and I have had no sucess when trying to find websites to learn ASP,
    I am planning on buying a book as soon as I get about 10 dollars more.

    Thanks for your help.

    ASP is very simple, simply enclose your code in <% %> tags:

    Code:
    <%@ language=VBScript %>
<%
    Function MyFunction(sMyString as String)
        MyFunction = "<i>" + sMyString + "</i>"
    End Function
%>
<html>
<body>
<%
    Response.Write "<b>Hello from ASP</b>"
%>
<br>
<%
    Response.Write MyFunction("And again")
%>
<br>
Bye!
</body>
</html>

    Oops! In ASP all variables are Variants, and you can't declare variables as a specific data type.If you do then ASP will throw up an error. For more help check out http://www.vbsquare.com/internet/ and http://www.activeserverpages.com/

    sorry. forgot...haven't used ASP in a long while...details tend to drop out. (I moved to php3/4 because all the hosting providers I found were on Unix)

    Install PWS (Personal Web Server free from M$) on your own PC to develop your scripts on.

    You don't really need to buy a book.

    I never have!
    ( Hmm... but are my scripts any good?! )

    Here's a good starting point:

    If you can get NT because when I tried developing ASP with PWS 1 every time you make a type and ASP throws up a script error PWS crashes out.
