I've been trying to get ASP to work for a while now. I have a website (though it sucks, scrapping it soon for a new one) and I've been wanting to implement some ASP into it.

From my basic understanding, ASP is something that allows feedback to come back and forth to change the website as needed. There might be something more to that, but besides that I can't remember. For instance, ASP would be used in a trivia thing to say if you are correct or not on something (I think..) and for emailing someone.

What I have done to get the ASP working on my local host is I "downloaded" the ISP thing onto my computer. Not sure how that works, but I've been following the tutorial on w3schools.org. It's helped me until I try and display it. It should come out as "Hello World!" Though it comes out as the script.


<html>
<body>
<%
response.write("Hello World!")
%>
</body>
</html>

What am I doing wrong? I'm normally a fairly good at this stuff. I do wonders with HTML and CSS alone. I throw in a bit of JavaScript to make it look pretty and voila, a fairly simple web page. Now I'm just trying to expand my knowledge.

If IIS is properly installed, configured, and running. That code should work.

All right. I've tried it in two different browsers, with no success. The IIS (Sorry, couldn't remember the name so I called it ISP) shoud be working, but I can't tell.
