Don't blow coffee out your nose laughing at this one.
How in the hec do I comment out lines in my .asp?
I have tried:
'
'#####
<--
REM

What is bad looking through the different .asp files it looks like a simple ' will do. Yet, I get errors everytime!

' is what you need to comment out a line.

when you look at some comments, you'll see things like '#### or '*** ... all this is is a way to make the comment stand out so that you can find it easily.

That is a single quotation or apostrophe right? I get errors every time I try. Does spacing or location matter?

This was done just as you said. I think and it still gave an error.

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Syntax error

/forum/res_ourlinks.asp, line 94

spacing does NOT matter. you probably have a & _ on the line before. if you do, that means you are continuing a line and you can't put a comment in the middle of a line.

I do have a 
& _
on the line above. I am in the middle of drawing a table. Will it hurt to remove it?

Ok I think I have it.

I removed the & _

and I added Response.Write to the next line.

Should I feel stupid or blame the code?

if you remove it, remember to put response.write on the line below the comment.... so let's say you had ...

response.write	"<table>" & vbNewLine & _
		"<tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"<td>" & vbNewLine & _
		"</td>" & vbNewline & _
		"</tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"</table>" & vbNewLine

but you want to stick a comment in the middle. it would now look like:

response.write	"<table>" & vbNewLine & _
		"<tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"<td>" & vbNewLine
' this is my commented line
response.write	"</td>" & vbNewline & _
		"</tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"</table>" & vbNewLine

You shouldn't feel stupid, but you shouldn't blame the code either. What you are working with is basic vbscript syntax. It might benefit you to take a tutorial on the subject or read a reference (like at www.microsoft.com/scripting ).
