asp code question/asp tutorial opinion wanted

Can anyone give me an indication that either I'm missing something or this tutorial is? I am having great difficulty in understanding the following code:
<%
TheName=request.form("name)
if TheName="John" then
%>
<!--#include virtual="/file1.html" -->
<% else %>
<!--#include virtual="/file2.asp" -->
<%
end if %>

I guess the most important question is, is it right? It is part of the Include/virtual section (Example 4) of the tutorial at

http://www.asptutorial.info/learn/subroutine_include.asp

It simply does not work for me. I've managed to get everything up to this point working on my computer, with minor tweeking. If anyone has a minute to look at it and tell me what I'm missing it would be much appreciated.

missing a quote, mate:

TheName=request.form("name")
