[CALUG] Convert. Web pages in .asp to html

Wed May 8 19:47:31 EDT 2013

Well I have a solution -  Not elegant  - but it works.    I looked at a
number of browsers - and checked the code produced with on does "view
source"   and save.   It turns out that Google Chrome does an excellent job,
much better than the others.   So I did this for each web page on the site
and then adjusted the code to integrate the files.  This of course also
required adjusting the links  etc.   

I still have a bit of debugging to do - but it all basically works, for now
as a subdomain on  my Hostmonster  - host.

Thanks guys for your considerations.

Richard

We can help you convert the asp site to php. We can also convert it to
Joomla CMS.
Thanks

At the risk of getting too involved.  I would highly recommend WordPress
over Drupal.  As for the 960 pixels, the screen width is set up in the CSS
file.  The site can be set up to resize, i.e. zoom in and out, or to static
+1600 pixel width, or less, at your choice.  If you choose to put a new site
together with WordPress you will find a slew of consultants out there that
can do the job for you at a reasonable cost.

Question for you experts out there. I've not found a basic a solution to get
to HTML code and java scripts Perl scripts CGI scripts etc.  Some have
suggested rebuilding using Word Press or Drupal.   These seem to limit the
basic screen as displayed to about 960 pixels.  In the limited work I've
done I have never exercise such a limit.   Why does WordPress and  Drupal
have such a limit????  To me it tends to make your web page look like
watching a 50's movie on a new laptop or widescreen TV.   Ug!

Quite the holy war going on in this thread,

Well, in my case, I am all about the exact _opposite_.  "Risk mitigation"
doesn't know "faith" or "allegiance."  But I constantly run into dozens of
people who see it that way.  Why?  Because when it come right down to it,
there are few things that Microsoft does that is not a major risk.  The only
"risk reduction" with most Microsoft solutions is when one is already using
them, so staying with those solutions might be so short-term.

It's just the reality most of us deal with on almost a weekly basis with
customers.  As Gartner warned way back in 1999, no vendor is going to offer
a way out of lock-in.  So expecting open source to solve an issue of lock-in
is really not what open source has ever been about.  It's about offering a
solution to problems, which requires enterprises to make a conscious and
strategic decision to move.  As always, I put things in terms of risk.

As far too many enterprises are finding out, legacy VB 6 and MS IE 6 are
major risks right now, and their investments have been made in vain
long-term.  And even .NET must be taken on with a full understanding of the
risks involved, should it be leveraged as a solution.  I've taken a lot of
"heat" for balking any time someone states .NET is portable.  And I've ended
up being right in every single case.  Just food for thought ... on a Linux
and open source list.  ;)

but to answer your question: The way to convert them is to either find
someone

who knows those technologies and agree on a wage for them to do it.

Actually, there are a number of automated solutions out there that are
designed to convert ASP to JSP.  Now in several cases, they are not discrete
solutions.  I.e., they often have strings attached with purchasing their
Java Beans and other components that run on your application server.  In
some cases they do comprise of code licensed from Microsoft, but have been
ported to run on a Java vertical stack.  It's really all about what you need
to do.

That's an additional debate between "clean room" and more "intermediate"
migration/porting options.
