When I click on the preview in browser button, the html code appears on the
browser and not my actual page. Is this a setting or a problem in my coding?
 
Also, I noticed that none of my .asp pages can be previewed in the browser
before publishing. This is a real pain. Is there any way to get it to
preview?
 
I mean the CANNOT be previewed!

What is the file name? You need "htm" or "html" on it for it to be
interpreted as HTML by the browser.

It also could be a server setting.
 
Not necessarily, .asp and .aspx ( among others ) will be / should be treated as normal web
page.

An asp file will display in a browser.
Are you by chance getting an error page??

..asp pages can only be previewed when served from a web server that
supports ASP.
It sounds like you are previewing from a disc location, not a server.
 
Oops, I'm used to working in IS.

But only if it is running on a windows server
( not a Unix server or disc based web)

I am not getting an error. An let me clarify that I am not view off of the
server but working off my desktop in FrontPage before I publish. when i go
to preview in the browser, the html code appears instead of the page. i
notice that it does this for just the pages with the .asp extension on them.
 
That is expected. You must publish to a server before the asp code
will be run. Viewing from a disc location (preview in browser for a
disc-based web) the asp code will be shown in the browser, though any
HTML code would normally be rendered, correctly or otherwise depending
on if or how the asp is supposed to modify it.
