Hello,
I'm trying to learn a little ASP, and am running immediately into a problem that seems like it should be very basic. The url that I am entering is:

localhost/mytest/test.asp?cust_id=1

The entire contents of test.asp are:

you requested record number < %= Request.QueryString("cust_id") % >

of course without the space in < %

I get http-500 internal server error everytime. If I modify test.asp to only have text ( i.e. you requested record number ) with no scripting, it displays the text just fine. I can't figure out what is wrong, can anyone help?
