The asp processor (asp.dll) can identify html and call the html processor when it needs to. The html processor cannot identify asp and call the asp processor. As noted above, you would have to rename the file to end in .asp.
at the place you want to insert your asp counter, the lhtml would look something like this
<p> My counter says you are person number <%=counterscript.asp%> to visit my site</p> |
I have seen a couple of web servers where for some obscure reason that I never tracked down, an asp page had to start with asp tags so you had to put <%%> at the top of your html.
BTW - The reason we don't change every page to end in .asp is that there's overhead involved with switching back and forth between the processors.
