(The following code is not tested and I realize it is also not as small as
it could be) And I'm not a vbasic programmer...
Apache::ASP Show all font sizes from 1 through 5:
<html>
<body>
<% for ($size=0;$size<5;$size++) { %>
<font size="<%=$size%>">This is a sample of size <%=$size%>
</font><br>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>
"Traditional ASP":
<html>
<body>
<% for size=0 to 5 %>
<font size="<%=count %>">This is a sample of size <%=count%>
</font><br>
<% next %>
</body>
</html>
Note the "code" in the first example is perl -- the code in the second
example is basic.
They are not interchangable. Thus, you cannot just load Perl::ASP and
expect to use a development tool like Macromedia UltraDev and have it work
- as ultradev (in asp mode) spits out VBasic stuff.
