Is there any way to tell if the server is processing my asp?
http://www.joeswelding.biz/mail/index2.htm

If you look at the page above, you will immediately see that my asp code is
filling my text boxes.

If you go a step further and view the source, you will see that the asp
"start of code" characters "<%" show up on the very first line. Hey! That's
not supposed to happen, is it?

BTW: I'm a Classic ASP newbie.

ASP will process ASP files. Change your file extenstion from htm to asp.

Ah! Ok.

Does this rule apply to web pages that start with a code section only, or do
small "script-lets" (like example below) also require the page to have an
asp extension?

Ex:
<b>The current date is <%=Date()%> and the current time is <%=Time()%>.</b>

Thanks for helping!

If you want asp.dll to parse the script, it needs an extension that IIS is
configured to parse with asp.dll. By default, this extension is .asp, but
you can configure the server to parse other extensions that way as well.

Changed some code and added the .asp extension:

http://www.joeswelding.biz/mail/index2.asp

The only error I get is Microsoft's HTTP 500 Internal Server Error page.

How would I debug something like this?

Turn off Friendly Errors in your browser:

Then use the aspfaq site and google to search for your error messages.
You can usually help yourself this way.
