Unfortunatly I have a program at work that is written in asp vbscript. Is there a way to set up preview so i can view asp pages. God that would be useful.
thanks

Re: preview classic asp
You can drag in .asp pages (or whatever the extension is...) into WeBuilder and edit them like any other editor. Highlighting works with html files with ASP or ASP .Net (both VB and C#)
You can also tweak the highlighting if necessary, but thats quite advanced.

Re: preview classic asp
I think he's asking about actually previewing the asp files in webuilder's preview window. I don't know a way but I've never used asp in webuilder so ignore me. :)
browser preview is only three keystrokes away.
ctrl+s
alt+tab
ctrl+r
<1 second. :)
If you can stand having lots of instances of the same page open, you can just hit your shortcut for "preview in ___". F12, I believe.

Aah. Oh. Bum.
Re: preview classic asp
Hello there,
I've managed to get WeBuilder to preview ASP pages.
What I've done is setup a WeBuilder mapping to the local drive I have mapped to the web server.
For example, our intranet (http://intranet.company.com for example) I have mapped locally to my I: drive (I for Intranet, see!!!)
In WeBuilder goto Options -> Preferences -> Preview -> Mappings and added a new mapping:
Local or FTP Path = I:\
Web Server Path = http://intranet.company.com/
Whenever I'm editing an ASP page from the I: drive the preview knows to run in from the intranet servers, works a treat
I've also got mappings for localhost to c:\inetpub\wwwroot and also one for our test server.
That make any sense?
Cheers
Mike

Re: preview classic asp
Didn't work 
here is my senario.
Im running xp professional so iis can only run 1 site. Therefore, for my different projects i create virtual drives.
My mappings are:
localpath = Z:\ (this is my projects folder within "My Documents". i keep all my projects here)
webserver:http://localhost
when i try to preview i get a message window "No application is associated with this file type."
I am tring to preview .asp files.
I am not running asp.net
thanks for your help so far. I can not wait to get this working.

Re: preview classic asp
Hmmm,
Same here, only .asp, not asp.net, and it works fine with IIS (localhost) on my XP Pro, but I've not used virtual drives, so that could be the problem.

Re: preview classic asp
alright!!! i figured it out.
the local path i pointed directly to the folder containing my projects. It would not work with the mapped drive.
the set the server path to http://localhost/
when you set up the drive in iis you have to make the application name the same as the directory.
if anyone needs to do this and you don't understand what i''m saying please hit me up. I'd be happy to help you out.
MIKEY B!!!!!! you are the man. Thanks alot!

Re: preview classic asp
Glad you got it sorted, I know there is something "funny" about mapping drives to your own local machine with certain things, had a similar problem here with something (can't remember what!) that it seemed to know it was really my C: drive and not the mapped drive!
stop it!!! lol
