Response.Write

[larryjf]

I can't get this script to work...

<%
strText = "hello"
Response.Write strText
%>

or even...

<%
Response.Write "hello"
%>

I know this should be very simple, but i can't get it to work.

How is it "not working"? Please provide an error, or at least a description. This will allow for better answers from the community.

I'm going to guess that it's just outputting everything as text. Are you working on a local machine, or on a webhost's server? Either way, make sure you have full ASP capability, and that you are allowed to run ASP on the machine you're working on.

It's not doing anything. No error, and no text displayed.

I tried it on my local machine and on a non-local server. It did not work on either.

I should have full ASP capability as i have run many other ASP programs from these servers.

That's the part that's driving me crazy, this should be so simple.

Sorry for asking, but, does your page have a ".asp" extension?

[Easy_Coder]

And if it does have an .asp extension as defanjos asks then do a viewsource to determine if you page is outputting raw asp. You'll want to let your host know that your pages are not processing asp of that's the case.

[txbakers]

have you tried:

<%
Response.Write ("hello")
%>

with the parentheses?

[larryjf]

It was the .asp extension.

Thanks for your responses.

I really feel like an idiot (but it probably won't be the last time).

Thanks again.
