I am trying to preview the asp page in browser.
It throws a message "This page contains elements that may need to be saved or published to preview correctly"

Any help on this is hightly appreciated.

Well not knowing what app you are using but I am pretty sure the scenario is the following. You are making an asp page and the app you are using has a builtin browser to display content while developed. Now an asp application needs to be run on a server via the http protocol. So you need to publish your page/site and run it on a server to display dynamic elements. (Btw. this sentence sounds a lot like Frontpage, try some other apps like Dreamweaver, you'll be happier in the long run.)

well, thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using front page. Using Dream Weaver sounds like a good thought. let me try that. thanks

thus this would not keep you from publising it to a server before running it////
