Preview of .aspx page in browser onl...

Hello,

I created a sample .aspx page in FrontPage 2003. I clicked "Preview in browser", and when the browser opened, only the .aspx page's code was displayed! The page appears correctly in design view, but only shows code when I preview in browser.

A few things:

1. Preview in browser is only testing it locally. I can display .aspx pages fine on the internet.
2. My code is correct.
3. Html files display in "preview in browser" appropriately.
4. I am only using internet explorer.

Please, if anyone can help, I appreciate it! I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out!

Thanks.

Are you previewing your page on an IIS server?

Well, I just wanted to test some code. I am used to coding with ColdFusion and Dreamweaver, but I need to try using C# and ASP.NET within FrontPage to create a simple dynamic page

So, I used FrontPage's database connection wizard, and set up a test with Northwind's database. So, it sets up a few .aspx pages to test, etc. The main html page created works fine when I Preview in Browser, but whenever I click on an .aspx page link, it solely shows the code for the page.

To your question: I do not know. Do I need to download IIS or something? I assume this preview is strictly just running on my localhost machine's server. Is this still necessary to display .aspx pages correctly? If so, where can I download/enable it?
