WriteComment Function
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
In a previous tip, I talked about how you can make debugging easier by generating HTML comments into the output your ASP files generate. Here's the function that does it:
Sub WriteComment(strText)
Response.Write "<!-- " & strText & " -->" & vbCrLf
End Sub
Another benefit of using this function is that you can very easily turn debugging messages on and off by creating a constant at the top of your page, called DEBUG, as shown here:
Const DEBUG = True
You then modify the WriteComment function to work as follows:
Sub WriteComment(strText)
If Not DEBUG Then Exit Sub
Response.Write "<!-- " & strText & " -->" & vbCrLf
End Sub
The comments will only print in the HTML if the debugging constant is set to True at the top of the page.
