ASP files getting napped to nothing?

<i><b>Originally posted by : Simon (minorsage@sendcoffee.com)</b></i><br />Hi, I'm wondering if you can tell me why, on some sites written with asp files, all the resources in my computer are zapped to nothing? Is<br />there some common error people using asp make, that does this?<br />

<i><b>Originally posted by : RHarper (rish@gte.net)</b></i><br />I'm not exactly certain what is being done on your computer when you view sites written in ASP but ASP is simply designed as a server-side scripting environment that dynamically returns "plain html" to the client browser. I have never successfully used it to access anything on a client machine. <br /><br />It is based on Visual Basic Scripting Edition and Javascript. Neither of these "languages" were constructed to access a user's machine with the exception of cookies which are simply stored string values that can't do anything. This is by design as there was concern that these "languages" could be used to pass viruses, take sensitive information off client machines, or sabatoge them. <br /><br />I hope this helps<br /><br />Rick<br /><br />------------<br />Simon at 2/11/2000 8:59:09 PM<br /><br />Hi, I'm wondering if you can tell me why, on some sites written with asp files, all the resources in my computer are zapped to nothing?
