I've got myself into a bit of a mess
I think a long time ago I added some meta tag text to default.asp. Now I want to change it I can't. If I change just a single letter in the title using notepad and then upload the new file I get this error
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/forum/Default.asp, line 871
LastPostDate = "" LastPostLink = ""
-------------------^
Should I even have meta tags in Defauls.asp?

Humm
The problem appears to be more the fact I'm unable to edit default.asp! I opened the file in notepad, saved the file with no changes, Uploaded it and got the same problem! I don't understand what notepad is doing to upset the file. And I still have a the issue the I need to change the meta tags.

| what are you uploading the file with, notepad definately should not be doing anything that would break the file |

| Some FTP programs will upload as either binary or ASCII - you need to make sure that it knows to upload *.asp files as ASCII (or if you are manually setting it, that you remember to make sure its in ASCII mode). I've had the problem before when I did some PERL scripting. |

It does not appear to be a FTP problem as I am able to upload the orignal default.asp file and everything works again.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. If every time I try edit the file it somehow breaks I don't see how I can round it. Anybody every had this problem with default.asp.

it is nothing like line 871, but I have never in all my time dealing with snitz known notepad to break a file.
the lines getting mashed should be
LastPostDate = ChkDate(strLastPostDate,"",true)
LastPostLink = DoLastPostLink(false)
However that is line 846 in a normal snitz, not line 871 |
