title: classic ASP using JavaScript gives a 500 error
body: <p>I can't figure out why I keep getting an <code>HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error</code> but only when using JavaScript as the server-side language. If I use VBScript it works just fine. I have other sites running on the same machine using server-side JavaScript with no problem. I can't seem to find any more information through the event viewer, the IIS logs or searching the web.</p>
  
  <p>Below I have small code sample in VBScript as well as in JavaScript.</p>
  
  <h2>VBScript (works):</h2>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Language=VBScript %&gt;
  &lt;% Response.Write("hello vbscript") %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <h2>JavaScript (500 error):</h2>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Language=JavaScript %&gt;
  &lt;% Response.Write("hello javascript"); %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm sure that this a configuration problem but I can't seem to find anything even remotely pertaining to this issue.</p>
