Thanks Lee. But the problem is when i go to the URL 
www.cag.nic.in/home_page.asp  or www.cag.nic.in  the asp server script 
runs  on the webserver (IIS or whatever) and outputs a html page  which 
is passed  as is to the firefox browser BUT the browser does not render 
it as a  html page but rather as plain text. So i get to see the page as 
source text and not as a php/html page would be rendered by the browser.
