Converting ASP to HTML

ASP to HTML

[solivier]

I have been receintly given the task to manage an ASP site. My VB knowledge is non existant, yet i have developed using Dreamweaver and Front Page. Can i import this ASP website into Dreamweaver to manage?

I am certain that you can import it but if it was me I would learn the code instead. :-)

Keep in mind that when an ASP page is requested the web server interprets the ASP code first and passes it on then the browser interprets the left over HTML, javascript, vbscript, etc. You could actually visit the page with your browser, view the source code, and then save the source code as a .html page.

The "dynamic" things like current date, current time, etc. will have to redone with javascript.

Hope this helps.

Thanks kamakaze.

I don't know dreamweaver very well, but I'd guess you probably can use dreamweaver to open and edit the files, but you'd need to put the ASP code onto a server (local or remote) to view the output of the pages, assuming they are actually doing something using serverside code.

It sounds like it might be worth learning some ASP.

Some of the sites I've visited a lot when learning VB / ASP were:

• w3schools [w3schools.com]
  
• devguru [devguru.com]
  
• 4guysfromrolla [4guysfromrolla.com] (moved toward .net - but probably still some good classic ASP stuff in the depths of their search)
  
• msdn vb library [msdn.microsoft.com]
