Hi. I have a uber asp rookie and am trying the simplest code and it fails. Any help would be appreciated.

My simply asp file:

<html>
<body>
<%
response.write("Hello World!")
%>
</body>
</html>

I have an html file that calls this asp file via an 'a href='. I have uploaded the html file and the asp file onto a free site [tripod]. When I click on the html link to go to the asp file I receive a File Download msg box asking me if I want to open the file or save it on my computer. Could it be a browser setting or is something wrong with the simple asp file?

normally you get that if the site does not support ASP

You make your PC support ASP by install IIS (internet information service) to make your PC server

Usually free server dont provide the asp hosting. Check to see if your hosting supports ASP, then the script will work fine.
