ASP errors in IIS 5.1

Factual Questions
1

Does anyone know of a way to expand the default css setting for the text size? All of my page errors are bunched up causing the arrow pointing to the specific error to also be bunched which points to nothing in particular.

Huh?

.box1 {color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: #FFFFFF}

The font-size attribute will change the of the text using css.

I think this is what you are asking, but I’m not entirely sure.

Do you have a page that we can look at?

Sorry, that was a very poorly worded question.

When an error occurs in an ASP page, IIS gives you an error page with a report telling you the line number the error occurred on and there is a long arrow that points to the error.

Example:

CODE:
response.write("Hello

ERROR:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0409)
Unterminated string constant
/directory/page.asp, line 31, column 21
response.write("Hello
-------------------^

The problem occurs on a much longer string line where the error-pointer wraps and no longer points to the offending area. It may look like:

-----------------^

Ahhhhhh, now I know what you mean, but you’re not going to like what I have to say.
I’ve never worked out how to get it to tell me where the error is when the line wraps. Sorry.
I used to dick around with the line until it would spew out an error that didn’t wrap, which is not a productive way to go, but it worked.
You may wanna try an ASP new goup where you’re more likely to find an answer that here.

OK, I’ve got one more suggestion, but only if you’re using IE6.

Create a style sheet (anything.css).

Create at least two entries such as for table and body

body {color: #000066; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;}
table {color: #000066; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;}

Tools, Internet Options, Accessability (down the bottom), Tick the box that says Format documents using my style sheet and then browse to the style sheet you chose.

If you change body and or table to something small (say 6 or 7 pt), you might get the detail without the wrapping.

Assuming the ASP error page doesn’t have a style sheet in which case I think you’re stuffed.

Give it a try anyway.
