Script - runat=server

[Peter_G]

Hi, I am updating a website for a friend of mine and it has this script
toward the top of the index.htm page. (This is not the format it is in, by
my copy and past seems to have a mind of it's own).

<SCRIPT RUNAT=Server

Language=VBScript>

SUB Session_OnStart

Session.lcid=1033

END SUB

</SCRIPT>


She says that she did not put the script in, and I certainly did not.

My question is, what does this script do?

Kind regards,

Peter

By itself it doesn't mean anything. It is an ASP server-side script which
sets a Session value. Does the page have a .asp extension? If not, you can
remove it.

That script sets the locale identifier of the current ASP session to US
English. LCID is a property of the Session object that specifies the locale
ID of the Session.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies.

Ok then, No, the page does not have an ASP extension, nor do any other pages
in her site.

My question now then, is how did this get here? Surely the web host does
not have access to pages on the site?

I have deleted from the page and will get her to republish.

Thank you for the help.

Peter

See http://howtheheckshouldiknow.com

....and just delete it, or leave it, it doesn't matter.

The link did not work, but I have deleted the script.
