Fun, fun, fun... NOT!

I came over to school this afternoon because I couldn't seem to connect remotely to the server from home. (Edit: I think it has something to do with the way Visual Studio 2003 differs from VS2005 - when I start up 2005, I'm not given the same options as 2003 gives for connecting.) We started ASP in Scripting Languages class a week or so ago, and I hadn't been able to get the lab exercise working properly. It turned out to be because I wasn't defining the "name" property of the input fields in my HTML form. D'oh! In my defense, JavaScript, which I had to use to do my last assignment, seems to refer to the ID property, rather than the name property... but my ASP page had to be coded in VBScript, not JavaScript. It's working now, though. :)

I guess I should be coding both properties instead of just the one, just to be on the safe side. Apart from this wrinkle, I'm not entirely clear on what the difference is between the two properties...

Anyhow, I got an email from my instructor a few minutes ago. I got an 85 on the second assignment. Not as high as I'd hoped, but better than the first assignment (on which I'd gotten 80).
