Error

Cause/Solution

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0140'

Page Command Out Of Order

/index.asp, line 58

The @ command must be the first command within the Active Server Page.

Cause: <%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %> is not placed on the first line of the page.

Solution: Move this line of code to the first line, or delete if you are using VBSCRIPT since it's the default.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'cINT'

/temp/error.asp, line 13

Cause: You are trying to convert a non-numeric variable into an integer.

Solution: Make sure the variable is numeric.

Use If IsNumeric( ) function to validate first.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'

Overflow: 'cINT'

/temp/error.asp, line 14

Cause: cINT limitation causes this error. The range of numbers that cINT can convert is between -32,768 to 32,767

Solution: Use INT() if possible.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'SelectErrorCate'

/error.asp, line 24

Cause: You are trying to call a function or sub which does not exist.

Solution: Create the function/sub and includes it in your page. Check for spelling errors.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01c2'

Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'SelectErrorCate'

/error.asp, line 20

Cause: You are trying to call a function or sub with incorrect number of arguments.

Solution: Make sure you have all the arguments for the function/sub, separated by commas.

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03f6'

Expected 'End'

/error.asp, line 112

Cause: You are missing an End If statement

Solution: Check your IF statement logic and make sure you didn't miss the End If.

Response object error 'ASP 0156 : 80004005'

Header Error

/temp/error.asp, line 10

The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content.

Cause: Response.Redirect command is issued after HTTP header has already been written.

Solution: First, move the Response.Redirect line above tag. Then, add it to the top of the page.

ERROR: HTTP Error 400

400 Bad Request

Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the server. The client should not repeat the request without modifications.

Cause: Query String (the parameters attached to an ASP file: test.asp?id=3&Type=book) contains invalid data. This error happens in Netscape only.

Solution: Apply Server.URLEncode function to convert all query string parameters to URL Encoded codes.
