asp help!

Smiley012 · 18-01-2007 8:09pm #1

it was inevitable! well, so as a continuation from html form help, i have now implemented some asp code into my website, so that people can enter in information into a form, and this information is then emailed to my internet account from the website, as opposed to using people's email applications.

however, I put the asp code in, and uploaded the page onto eircom, but for some reason all that comes up is code on the page...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<%

if Request.Querystring("isSubmitted") = "yes" then

Dim fname, lname

Dim objCDO

lname = Request.Querystring("Last_Name")

'Here is where we insert new code to invoke CDONTS

'This line invokes the object using the name objCDO

Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

objCDO.To = "eilyis@gmail.com"

objCDO.Subject = "Submitted form data from my page"

objCDO.Body = "Name: " & lname

objCDO.BodyFormat = 1

objCDO.MailFormat = 1

objCDO.Send

ConfirmMsg = "Thanks for submitting your decision!"

end if

%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<% if ConfirmMsg <> "" then %>

<h2><%= ConfirmMsg %></h2>

<% end if %>

<form action="formtest.asp" method="get" name="Input_Form">

<br>

Please Enter Your Decision:

<input type="text" size="30"

maxlength="50" name="Last_Name">

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit Form">
<br>

<input type="hidden" name="isSubmitted" value="yes">

<input type="submit" value="Submit Form">

</form>
</body>
</html>

as you can see this is the code that is on my page... now is it just that eircom won't accept asp scripts? or is it that I have done something wrong?

I appreciate ANY response!

Thanks in advance!

€ircon don't support ASP - they support HTML and little else IIRC!
You are confusing €ircon with a proper web host. Their hosting service, like many other of their products leaves a lot to be desired.

Is it an ASP page i.e. mail.asp?

Smiley012 · 18-01-2007 11:00pm

ah ok, that would be the problem, I take it they don't support php either?

yeah it'll be an asp page, but I think I may have decided on using php instead, seems it's a bit easier for me!

Seth Brundle · 18-01-2007 11:05pm

Don't know about PHP on paid hosting but on the free hosting it ain't there!
Spend a few quid and sign up with www.blacknight.ie or www.hosting365.ie and get some decent hosting!

Smiley012 · 18-01-2007 11:07pm

yeah i think that'll be what i'll do! no choice and looks better anyway, so you'd recommend both of these? excellent, thanks very much for the advice!:D

Seth Brundle · 19-01-2007 12:43am

both come highly recommended on here.
If you do sign up then make sure its on windows hosting!

I thought Brinkster did "free" ASP Hosting ..

Seth Brundle · 19-01-2007 9:48am

They used to but looking at brinkster.com, I can't see it. Anyhow, IIRC it was a PITA as you had to use a web based upload tool and not FTP.

Blacknight have an account type that comes to something like €3 a month or there abouts and it seems to be quite solid. Solid in that it doesn't go down at 6:30pm every friday and stays down until Monday lunchtime

Smiley012 · 19-01-2007 2:56pm

ok what does anyone think about bravenet.com? see I only need hosting for about three months...

anymore suggestions?

Seth Brundle · 19-01-2007 5:13pm

Is your site a personal site?
Will it be busy?
3 months isn't much so it may suit

asp help!
