Of course it doesn't: that's because what MRJ have put out is a simple
HTML page (in their Test) that happens to contain <SCRIPT> tags
specifying the use of VBScript language --- on the CLIENT machine.

The whole concept of ASP is that the embedded VBScript is executed on the
SERVER.

Keep such parochial languages to the server end alone; at least
Javascript/ECMAScript/JScript is universally supported by browsers at the
client end.

ASP on a server does nothing that other server-side scripting such as
Perl or REXX can achieve.  To persist in the search for a Holy Grail
merely reinforces Redmond's attempted monopolistic tendencies.
