Guys, I am new to ASP, I'm trying to learn it my self, if you can help me, I'm a complete Biggener

I actuallly wanted to make a page in which i want to read a variable from the address bar or VIA an HTML form, for instance, if somebody writes, http://www.friendspoint.tk/desplaypics.asp?id=4 - http://www.friendspoint.tk/desplaypics.asp?id=4 then it opens 4.jpg, in the page, where ever i want to place it, i tried this but it never worked

<%option explicit %>

mymsg = request("msg")

response.write "<html><head><title>My ASP</title></head><body>This is My frist asp Page.<br>You Entered:" & mymsg & "</body></html>"

I would not use the request object without a method so use request.querystring or request.form
Then, if your make is somehting like ....page.asp?msg=hello your script should work, check the case though. Also as you are using Option Explicit you need to dim your var first so put a
dim mymsg
before populating the variable.

do you want to display the JPG or the text line

if the JPG then
-------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>My ASP</title>
</head>
<body>
This is My frist asp Page.<br>
You Entered:<br><img src="<%Request.QueryString("id")%>.jpg">
</body>
</html>
------------------------------

if you want to display the text then use a form and then

-----------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>My ASP</title>
</head>
<body>This is My frist asp Page.<br>
You Entered:<%Response.Write(Request.Form("id"))%>
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------

something like that should do it
