asp pages ignoring lines of script

[s_m_b]

Can't figure this one.
web page with vbscript asp, w2k/iis5
The page opens with no errors (syntax errors get picked up just fine)
but. If a line contains a variable that's either not dimmed, or has no
value, or returns a bad value from say instr(), the line is simply ignored,
or if its inside a loop or for/next, that block is ignored.

any ideas?

on error resume next

chuck <%Option explicit%> at the top of the page to make sure your code
is correct before any actions are taken

Stop writing bad code. :)

Check all inputs. Use Option Explicit. Test heavily. Do not use On
Error Resume Next until the code is fully debugged.

Probably 80% of any decent code is error trapping and handling.

if only that worked (sorry - should have mentioned that I'd tried this!)
