I have an HTM file that has a form where you select an item and then it calls an ASP Classic page that does a basic lookup in the Northwind database on SQL Server 2008, which is also on my same Wndows 8 machine. I grabbed pre-written code that already works so I can bust through this wall of difficulty I'm experiencing in getting even the simplest web application to work on IIS8.
On the HTM file, I select an item, but then when I click the submit button, nothing happens. It's supposed to invoke the ASP file to look up the item in the database and return an array of information about that selected item. I set the options in IIS so it will report errors and I started using F12 in Internet Explorer and click the Console tab to monitor for any errors. It was giving me an access denied error, so I addedhttp://localhost/ before the name of the ASP file in the form HTM file. That helped. Now there is no access denied error. But there is no error at all displayed now and nothing is happening when I click the button. It's not bringing back the table of data like it's supposed to. Any ideas what might be not doing anything? By the way, I did select ASP and ISAPI in IIS Manager. Thanks.
