Make sure it has something like this at the top as the very
first line:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
If you are testing it on your local computer, I've found
simple ASP works as is. If a page has complicated ASP, it opens and
displays the ASP or doesn't open at all. Either set up your
computer as a server, or upload the files to the server and test
from there.
If that doesn't fix it, can you post a link?
