creating asp pages in FP 2003

I just upgraded to FP 2003 under the impression that there is support for
coding in ASP. I was hoping to have an MS Script Editor type of environment
in which I could code in ASP and get intellisense help. Unfortunately, I
can't seem to do any such thing. It doesn't seem like there's any support
within FP 2003 for ASP coding and when I do write ASP, it's like writing it
in Notepad - absolutely no help :(

Am I missing something? Are there options that I haven't turned on or
applications or Server extensions that I haven't installed?

If you want that type of environment, you will need Visual InterDev.

So there's no way for me to get help with asp coding in frontpage? Although
the documentation is vague, I got the impression that there was some support
for ASP in FP 2003.

There is support for ASP. You can code ASP in FrontPage all day long. It
handles it fine in Design View as well as HTML view. You cannot get
intellisense for it. Still, ASP is pretty simple. I can hardly imagine
needing Intellisense for it. I used FrontPage for over 5 years to develop
ASP applications.

Thanks Kevin.

Although ASP is fairly simple, it's kind of nice to have the intellisense
prompting for ADO objects, Scripting objects, CDO objects and objects of any
of the other Server-supported classes. I guess it's just not available in
FrontPage as you say. Perhaps, MS will consider adding it as a FREE update :)
