Hello,
In my ASP VBScript file, how do I trap the VBSCript compile error. I am using 'On Error Resume Next' and also using the Err object. But still the compilation errors are not being trapped by this code. Can you help me in sorting this out?
Thanks in advance

No, I can't and I think noone can. This kind of error occurs before any code of yours execute.

Why would you need to trap compile errors? They should and will throw a HTTP:500 error. You can see what the actual error is by turning the "show friendly messages" option off in IE but a compile error should be fixed not trapped.
On Error is for trapping exceptions which is a different thing entirely.

anyone use JScript for server side?
I think it is a garbage collected language, so it would be good to use it in a site with many pageviews???

I posted about this the other day and couldn't come up with a solution, I still haven't slept since then.
I am using Index Server to add a search function to our intranet, It is working fine except for the "characterization" , or in other words the abstract.
It will not return anything. I asked the server folks to verify the catalog option were set to generate the "characterization" and they are.
I test my exact same code on the internet server and it works 100% perfectly. On the Intranet server it will not return an abstract, I get zero errors, I just can't get a description. I have searched HIGH and LOW on the web only to find nothing. I don't know where else to turn?
I don't know why it won't return anything for the "characterization"? Does anyone have any ideas?
I do know that the servers are differnt:
Intranet is Win2000, IISv5.
Internet is WinNT, IIS v4.
I don't think that should be a problem tho, you would think that the problem would be with the WINNT not 2000.
Thank you so much for your time

Is this possible?
All the examples I see targets "style" of an element. Is it possible to change the class then as well? Will it behave "dynamically" clientside?
OK, then one last question, what can I use to debug JavaScript?
Cheers all

The class HTMLElement has a className property, I would assume you can use that.

Yep it's a life saver, especially as you can include javascript variables in it with + varname

Well, yeah, I was heading for the simplistic
In reality, it's usually the first word that pops into my head and when I'm debugging that is usually a four-letter word, but this isn't the soapbox so I'll say no more 
This all stems back to my C on Unix days where a few printf()s were actually more effective than the dire debuggers.

o god! Someone else pointed me to the MS Script Debugger that is on the Win2k Server Resource kit. Has anyone used this?

Nothing happens! Hence the need for a debugggger!

Briefly. I went back to alert("I am here");

I just spend over 2 hours trying to find a reoccuring JavaScript error. After 2 hours I realise like all ECMA based languages variables cannot start with numbers!  I changed my sequencing from [number][Name] to [Name][Number] and all was OK.
I JUST WANT A DAMN DEBUGGER! How am I suppose to know "Missing )" means "bad varaible name choice"?  
Finaly time to relax

You're not; everything in JavaScript is "Missing )", it's part of the C legacy . And a debugger isn't going to help you there either, it's only going to throw the same error on the same line.
However, if you'd written alert(23WhenBadThingsHappen); on the line above it and the same error had moved up to the new line, you might have had an idea... see how great alerts are?
Be alert, the world needs more lerts

Not when your mouse is registered with plenty clicks , mouseover, mouseouts. Then it gets plain annoying!

Ahh, a fair point. That's just what you get for trying to be too clever with a web page. Go with the KISS principle.

MSSD (debugger) sux!!! alert() is your best option...plus use syntax hilight so you can catch missing closing quotes and stuff of that nature...that'll save you hours...compared with notepad

OK, I just dumped the functions between SCRIPT tags below the page header. VS.NET shows it nicely, but something it doesnt recognise, like "class" for example (lame ) and you get halve of the JavaScript underlined in red because of the so-called "syntax" errors.
I notice a schema URL inserted by VS for IE5, but class has been around since IE3 I think. Then it complains I cant place a table between SPAN tags, but DIV is OK (dope).
I somehow remmebr NOT seeing all these syntax underlining before I formated my HDD the other day. I could be wrong, I just started this web stuff a week or two ago...

If I remember correctly there was a way you could add to the keywords list by adding them to a file.
Perhaps you can do the same using VS.NET I dunno though...I think most IDE support this undocumented feature...
Perhaps you could do the same for HTML tags and atttributes and such...

Got a real problem!
Since an abortive attempt to load Netscape on Monday which made my PC restart, I haven,t been a ble to get into InterDev. The Splash screen comes up then I get an Application Error and when I Debug, it gives me the following message:
"Unhandled Exception in DEVENV.EXE(MSENV.DLL) 0x0C0000005 Access Violation"
As well as replacing both DEVENV.EXE and MSENV.DLL I've tried:
1. Rebooting (approx 2,500 times!)
2. Removing and reloading InterDev.
3. Removing and reloading Visual Studio.
4. Re installing Windows 2000 Pro.
5. Re installing IE5.5.
6. RegClean.exe.
7. Praying!
8. Cursing!
....still no Go!
My next move will be to Format the drive and start over, though I am reluctant as I have stuff I don't want to lose and can't easily back up and it would take ages to do.
Then maybe suicide!!!
Any ideas? Any constructive help would be greatly appreciated.
code dope.

Take up smoking. Bullets and knives are messy, and smoking gives you lots of time to change your mind.
Have you considered re-installing IIS? When does this Access Violation occur? I've never seen this exact error at startup, but I did have trouble initially getting InterDev to connect to my server because the default security setting blocks web publishing. I've also run into a problem trying to delete a folder from a site - the same error message you're getting. Deleting the contents of the folder, one file at a time, then deleting the empty folder worked fine for some unexplained reason. InterDev sux.

smoking...toooo slow! Perhaps Single Malt Whisky in vast quantities would work?
thanx for the reply. I have tried re-installing IIS as you suggested but no good I'm afraid.
It occurs about 10secs after the InterDev splash screen appears, so I guess it's something to do with initialisation of the app itself. I think it happens when one of the functions in MSENV.DLL is called. I've used Dependency Walker on the dll and it checks out OK. I guess perhaps it's calling another dll somewhere which got corrupted when my PC went crazy.
Any more ideas?
You're right about InterDev - it's the spawn of Ol' Nick himself!

That's right about the time the New Project wizard should be starting. The wizard code could be broke, I suppose, but at the same time it's also searching for existing projects you may want to open. Have you tried recalculating links in IIS? Or clearing and resetting permissions on each of your websites?
BTW, the whiskey ought to do the job. The last time I had some I was fairly sure I as going to die.

COuld be a physical memory problem? Do you have more than one RAM chip available? My suggestion is to try swop memory perhaps. Or try lower memory timing in BIOS.

Are there any favicon guru's out there? I've put the icon in, but nothing. I even tried using that script you can use to set a different favicon type thing on different pages to force it, but nothing. On the other hand, my CP link has a normal ie icon as well, Bob is gone. Since previous posts on this topic, has anyone come up with a hard and fast way to keep favicon behaving itself? I now don't know if it's my code or browser causing the problem 
Thanks in advance

OK, here goes my bit, mite help, most likely wont, but seeing no-one else is offering help, I will give it a shot.
For a favicon to display on a page that page must be in your favourites. Now that I assume you know, BUT my logic tells me that IE saves this icon with the favourite, somewhere down in MS temp wasteland. I suggest you clear your temp and temp internet files, perhaps that works 
But saying all this, I have never been able to make it behave nicely either
Format c: ?
