My uncle's has got the files for his website that he got made a few years ago and needs something changed on it. So he has sent me the files as I am willing to make small changes as I know HTML and CSS. But when I open his index.asp page in a browser this only shows html even though the images, css and javascript files are linked properly.
I am not familiar with asp, I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know why the files are not being brought up when I open the index.asp file in a browser.
Thanks

First things first - as the previous comment says, you need to run ASP through an IIS based web site because the code needs to be processed.
If you're running through IIS and having this issue, check to see that your IIS settings are correct. Google "static content IIS" and you should find articles relating to this problem.

Because when you just open the asp file on a browser, there's no web server intervention so that the ASP page is properly processed. You are just opening a file as if you were opening it on Notepad. You need to configure the whole site as an IIS Application and browse to the site by going to http://localhost/YourSite
