FrontPage 2002: View ASP Pages without Disturbing the Code

Active Server Page Source Code Preservation allows users to edit content in pages containing ASP code without disturbing the ASP code itself. New in Microsoft FrontPage® version 2002, ASP Source Code Preservation will always open the ASP page in the Normal View, regardless of whether the ASP code violates convention

(such as multiple < Head >, or < Body > tags).

Tip: If you have an .asp page on your computer, you can open the page from File, Open, location or URL and view it in Normal View for editing.

New - Time and Date Tip

Here's a easy way to add in the time or date to your page.

Copy the script below into a blank notepad page and save it as a text file. Then recopy into your code from it. Make sure this code is in the < Body > section and its on a .asp page.... :-)

<%
response.write("Here is the date: ")
response.write("<br />")
response.write(FormatDateTime(date(),vblongdate))

response.write("<br />")
response.write(" And here is the time: ")

response.write("<br />")
response.write(FormatDateTime(now(),vbshorttime))
%>
 

Above Example:

Display your visitors IP address:

Copy the script below into a blank notepad page and save it as a text file. Then recopy into your code from it. Make sure this code is in the < Body > section and its on a .asp page.... :-)

To display the visitors IP address or your visitors user agent information, use Request.ServerVariables. This goes in the < Body > area of your code. You can request lots of different variables, this way.

<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr"))%>

<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent"))%>

Here are the examples:

 CCBot/1.0 (+http://www.commoncrawl.org/bot.html)

Sort of Cool Huh... Ok One More

Check out the use of Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")

Copy the script below into a blank notepad page and save it as a text file. Then recopy it to your clip board. Place your curser on the page in the normal view where you want the results or out put to show up and then switch to html view. Now paste your code in where the curser is blinking. Save the page publish it and check it out. Oh yea here's here's a couple silly last few tips (believe it or not I've done this so, hehe, learn from me)  - Make sure this code is in the < Body > section and its on a .asp page.... :-)

<A HREF= "http://<%=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")%>/default.asp">
Link to Home Page
</A>

See The Example: Link to Home Page

In the example we use default.asp of course if were only going to the home page that's not needed but you could change default.asp to be any file below the root like contact.asp or links.asp or what ever.
