Sorry to contradict, but on my server you can run ASP scripts, Perl, PHP, Java and JSP scripts. However - you can't mix the code in the same page - if the extension is .asp, then it goes through the ASP preprocessor and out to the browser. If .php, then the php preprocessor gets it and you can have all the ASP code on the page you like, but it won't get executed. My guess here, as someone that has never had anything to do with FrontPage, is that the FP server extensions are handled by a preprocessor that only sees .html pages and never gets a look at an .asp page cos it went to the ASP processor instead... sound likely? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Front Page extensions appear as those little webbot statements in MS code. Extensions are intended to help authoring, browsing and managing web sites. The webbots substitute for knowledge about web servers, web pages and web browsers. What they are is cgi-bin utilities which help you "manage" your website -- doing things like: Database Results Wizard Send To Database Form Handler Nested Sub webs Lightweight Source Control (Document Check-in/Check-out) Categories Component StyleSheet links to multiple files or ASP files Confirmation Field Discussion Form Handler FrontPage created server-side Image Maps Hit Counter Registration Form Handler Save Results Form Handler Search For The webbots (the vti files contain the actual script if you want to look at it) do the actual work. But extensions do not preclude asp pages, as JR Pitts pointed out, in the site and can work with FP to generate the asp code. Web pages and web sites, the MS way. drew ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
