asp question

Hi there,

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking...

Do you want to know how to browse an ASP website? The most basic way to do so is:

Put your pages into the folder c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\ e.g.

c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\MyWebPage.a sp
c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\MyMenu.asp

This folder is the root folder for your localhost so to look at your pages you put the following in the address bar of your browser e.g.

//localhost/MyWebPage.asp

Is this what you're after? If not then please explain a bit further.

Hope this helps,

Dr B

It sounds like your in need of an FTP program and a course on how to use it.

Hi DrBunchman
Thank for your reply
The web site is already built, I just want to add some asp pages. I have an FTP and verified with the hosting company that it works, the only problem is that when in Dreamweaver 8 I use the the Request Variable option to get the persons name on the processing page (like a thank you page with the name in it) it only works only when I test it locally, but when I do it thru ftp which my website is not on the Inetpub drive it doesn't show the name.
I hope this explained my problem.

You are using Request.ServerV ariables to get the users name?

e.g. sUsername = Request.ServerV ariables("AUTH_ USER")

First oage code

<%@LANGUAGE="VB SCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form id="frm_name" name="frm_name" method="post" action="test_fo rm_processor.as p">
<label for="textfield" >First Name</label>
<input type="text" name="firstName " id="firstName" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is the form page, I request the info in this page and here is the
processing page.
When I fill out the form the Thank you message comes out but without the name I put in the form before. This only happens when I put it thru my server, when I test it locally thru the wwwroot folder it works.

<body>
<p>Thank you, <%= Request.Form("f irstName") %>, for filling out my form.
</p>

I'm not sure about why this is happening.....c an you try a very simple test on these pages by putting:

Code:

 
<form name="Form1" method="post" action="test_form_processor.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="TestInput" value="Hello World!" />
<input type="submit" value="submit"> 
</form>

on your first page and try to response.write( request.form("T estInput")) on your second page to see if your any submitted values can be passed at all.
