ASP and HTML question.

Anyone know why I put asp on top of HTML code and it didn't work. If I take it out, it works fine but my project need to write get data from previous page to insert in database. Thanks for any help
Here is my code:
<%@ Language=vbscript %>
<%
Response.Write "Hello"
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table width="473" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="35">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td width="315" valign="top" align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="003366"><b>Your order has been sent!</b></font><br>
</td>
</tr>
<br>
<tr>
<td><a href="../default.htm">
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Click here to return to main menu</a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>

<br>
<table>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Company Name<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Copyright ©
2002 Company Name. All Rights Reserved</font>.
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>

the <HTML> tag denotes the top/begining of the HTML page. When it is encountered, certain header information is sent to the browser. The headers MUST be sent BEFORE any content is. If you send content BEFORE the header, such as using the Response.Write, then implied headers get sent. This causes a problem when the HTML tag is sent (sonce only one set of header data is allowed.) If you move the Response.Write "Hello" to AFTER the HTML tag, you should be Ok.
You can have all the ASP code before the HTML tag you want AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T write to the browser.

Hope that helps.

Try this:

Code:

<%@ Language=vbscript %> <% Response.buffer=True Response.Write "Hello" %> <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> <table width="473" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="35"> <tr valign="bottom"> <td width="315" valign="top" align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="003366"><b>Your order has been sent!</b></font><br> </td> </tr> <br> <tr> <td><a href="../default.htm"> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Click here to return to main menu</a><br> </td> </tr> </table> <br>  <br> <table> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Company Name<br> </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Copyright © 2002 Company Name. All Rights Reserved</font>. </table> </BODY> </HTML>
