I need some help with asp and JS...

[linkgoron]

Well, reading guides just doesn't help me, and I wondering if one of you guys can help me (if you can by MSN, or here)?
basically I need to make a basic Form, to get info in and out, updating, and all that. I have no idea how to do that, and our teacher said that if we can make an html page that can update/delete/two other things, by monday we'll get 100 in our next test. I know it's very basic, but he didn't actually teach us how to do it, so if you guys can help me, please post your MSN email. thanks.

Well, I still need help, for some reason instead of running ASP as ASP IE just opens it and shows me the code.
What am i doing wrong?

ASP runs on the server, so if you are just clicking on a file in Windows Explorer / My Computer nothing will happen.

Is this ASP or ASP.NET?
Is the web server running IIS and set to allow ASP?
Did you give the file / page the proper extension (.asp / .aspx)?

 

[linkgoron]

This is ASP
erm what webserver? All i was doing was running an IE form.
and yes I gave the file an .asp extension.

Our teacher teaches us almost nothing. So yes a I am total noob.

I've always run Active Server Pages on an IIS server like G-D intended, try googling to find ASP sites for how to run them locally on your desktop.

umm you can't run server-side scripting without a server?

Well, there goes my free 100.

Do you guys know where I can get free hosting, that supports ASP?

I vaguely recall seeing some way of faking it with a VBScript framework, and didn't W2K Pro let you run IIS? That's why I said to google, since it might be possible.
