Re: OT - Quick ASP question

Rebacca,

Are you declaring your variables? When you use OPTION EXPLICIT, you are
forcing that your variables be predefined before use. Not doing this with
throw an error.

OPTION EXPLICIT is not required, however, and is a basic form of debugging.
If the page works without it, then leave it out. My understanding of the
command is that it just helps you to keep track of your variables, so that
if you've introduced a typo, it'll be easier to find.

Me? I don't use it, so my information is based solely on what I could find
about it in my ASP book... Hopefully this helps?
