ASP Best Practices

Language Default

Override the server's default scripting language (VBScript) by using the @LANGUAGE directive. For example, to ensure that the default language is JScript, put the following code at the top of each ASP page:

<%@ LANGUAGE=JScript %>

To use the <SCRIPT> tag for server-side processing, use the RUNAT attribute:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Script Language" RUNAT=SERVER>.

Note that no spaces are used adjacent the equal signs.
