problem with mid() function

[Joeandtel]

'When I create a single character string
var str = "A"
'convert to ascii
num = asc(str)
Response.Write num ' 65 shows up
'when I have a whole string
str = "hello"
str = mid(str, 1, 1) ' return 'h'
num = asc(str)
'I get an error:
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'asc'
What can be done to fix this?

What language are you using here? It looks like it's half jscript, half
vbscript.

<%

response.write asc("h") &"<br>"
response.write asc("hello") &"<br>"

str="hello"
response.write asc(str) &"<br>"
s=mid(str,1,1)
response.write asc(str) &"<br>"

response.write asc(mid("hello",1,1)) &"<br>"

%>

gives:

104
104

104

no error to be seen.
