That's server side scripting anyway !!<br /><br />------------<br />bruno at 5/28/2001 2:02:00 AM<br /><br />my question may be stupid!<br />when i visit a web site with asp pages, with my browser, i can not see the asp source ?<br />is it possible to see the content of an asp page ?<br />many thanks for your answer.<br />bruno<br />

<i><b>Originally posted by : Richard (richard@trinet.co.uk)</b></i><br />That only applies if you control the web-server, in which case you already have access to the source code! I think Bruno wants to see the source to other people's pages, which would be a major security risk.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Mike Wright at 5/29/2001 4:36:56 AM<br /><br />Yes!<br />There is a way.

<i><b>Originally posted by : Michael Wright</b></i><br />Doesn't this mean you have to have two files, as the one with the below code won't run?<br /><br />In this case you might as well use ASCII chars for <% %> so the compiler doesn't recognise it or just have a HTML file with the code in.<br /><br />------------<br />Charles Lambert at 5/30/2001 12:04:47 AM<br /><br />actually if you do have a server and want to output the asp to the browser instead of processing it this code will do it<br /><%<br />Response.ContentType = 'text/text'<br />%><br /><br />its a good quick fix if you just need to show someone the the code, and they dont' have access to the files on your server<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Michael Wright at 5/29/2001 6:35:28 AM<br /><br />Indeed Richard,<br /><br />You would have to have good relations with your hosting provider or have your own server.<br /><br />I too wouldn't recommend allowing this on a server cos IIS or PWS have enough security holes as it is.<br /><br />Viewing HTML source from the click of a button is fine though.
