I just put the VBScript in iw_perl tags and used iwpt_output tags to write the code:

<iw_perl>
<![CDATA[

iwpt_output ("<% \n");
iwpt_output ("Dim yourvariable \n");
iwpt_output ("If trim\(Request.QueryString\(\"whatever\"\)\) = \"\" Then \n");
...
iwpt_output ("End If \n");
iwpt_output ("%> \n");

]]>
</iw_perl>

thanks for your help..
I tried your way but it gives me the following error

iwtmplpreview Error:

XML parse error:
mismatched tag at line 417, column 2, byte 12793 at d:\iw-home\iw-perl\site\lib/XML/Parser.pm line 185
:\default\main\HumanaBranch\CorporateIntranetBranch\WORKAREA\DeveloperWorkarea\templatedata\CorporateIntranet\FeedBack\presentation\FeedBack.tpl

the line 417 has a closing </iw_pt> tag.
Am i missing something or ?? my mistake

FYI, I usually get THAT kind of error with a missing/extra opening or closing CDATA tag somewhere in the tpl...

I agree with Mogoo, it appears that you're missing a closing/opening tag.
To verify this, save your TPL to your desktop (or wherever it's easy to find) as filename.xml
Then open it with Internet Explorer. That should better indicate where your missing tag is.

to insert vbscript, you can use the cscript tag available in the PT tag library. for more info, go to support site at

I would seriously suggest that you try running your template through the template compiler (iwpt_compile.ipl) rather than attempting to debug it through the TeamSite templating gui. The templating compiler will give you much better information and will also allow you to convert your sample dcr and presentation template into a perl script that you can run through standard perl debugging tools. More info about the compiler can be found here:
