Howdy Kirk, and welcome to Java Ranch. Since we get tons of people through this site, and want to keep an professional appearance, we have implemented a naming policy that we ask all registered users to abide by. Please refer to the policy at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp and reregister. Also, since this question is about JSP and not IDE's, I'm moving it to the JSP forum. Jason
Hi kirk, To start with JSP first you need to install a server in your machine which supports jsp like you can install Jrun,weblogic and then you have to configure it. After making your computer server you can start writting JSP files and save the file with .jsp extention. But you need to ask for help from someone who can configure your computer. As you can save your jsp files only in a particular folder to which you have given permission for jsp files. For details read a good JSP book. I hope this helps you. abhinav
