simple ASP classic program is not working

Question

I'm new to ASP very recently and I can't seem to get this to work

<html>
<body>
<form action="test.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<%
dim x
x=Request.Form("text")
Responce.Write(x)
%>
</body>
</html>

The text box and submit button are displayed however this error is displayed and this ASP does not work.I'm not sure if something is wrong with my code or IIS. Any help on this would be much appreciated

You should really activate errors while coding, typos are common... :) See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1453791/classic-asp-on-iis7-refusing-to-send-errors-to-browser-on-500-internal-server-e — gpinkas, Dec 14 '15 at 19:53

Could be you have a typo:

Responce.Write(x)

should be:

Response.Write(x)

Good to know it was just my idiocy causing the problem. Thanks for the help it's working now – William Bampton Dec 14 '15 at 18:52

If you just need to print your "text" variable:

  <html>
      <body>
          <form action="test.asp" method="post">
              <input type="text" name="text" />
              <input type="submit" value="submit" />
          </form>
          <%=Request.Form("text")%>
      </body>
  </html>

True, that's a better alternative in this simple case. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Dec 16 '15 at 08:53
