My uncle’s has got the files for his website that he got made a few years ago and needs something changed on it. So he has sent me the files as I am willing to make small changes as I know HTML and CSS. But when I open his index.asp page in a browser this only shows html even though the images, css and javascript files are linked properly.
I am not familiar with asp, I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know why the files are not being brought up when I open the index.asp file in a browser.
Thanks
Because when you just open the asp file on a browser, there’s no web server intervention so that the ASP page is properly processed. You are just opening a file as if you were opening it on Notepad. You need to configure the whole site as an IIS Application and browse to the site by going to
http://localhost/YourSite
