Script problem

Report · May 09, 2006

Whenever I try to execute an asp page it displays the actual code or at best html and empty strings as in...

Hello <%=strName> !

displays...

Hello !

Any ideas???

Is strName empty? Pop in a second % symbol before the closing >

Hello <%=strName%> !

Just in case it's a bigger problem like server issues, the following should
return hello. If not, there's something seriously wrong.

Hello <%
strName = "there"
Response.Write strName
%>

HTH,
Piers

How are you populating the strName variable?

I wrote this form just to test again...Please check!

<HTML>
<BODY>

<B>Please enter your name and hobby:</B><BR>

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="namehobby.asp">
Your name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=Name>
<BR>

Your hobby: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=Hobby>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit!"
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Here's namehobby.asp...

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<%

'Declare and set form variables
Dim strName, strHobby
strName = Request.Form("Name")
strHobby = Request.Form("Hobby")

%>
<HTML>
<BODY>

Hello <%=strName%> <BR>
Your Favorite hobby is <%=strHobby%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

This is what the browser displays...

Hello
Your Favorite hobby is

The obvious one is that the page is saved with an extension other than .asp.
If that is not the case then the second option is that you server doesn't
support asp.

Hi Paul,

I funny thing is that my server did crunch code a few months ago...just recently when I try to run pages that worked before my machine is displaying the code or empty stuff like the above?!?!?!

Sound like it's a server problem.

Maybe time for some re-installing... :-(
