ASP

Microsoft technology created to allow easy combination of HTML , JavaScript and ActiveX .

Active Server Pages created for web document scripts that combine ActiveX server components and HTML for the purpose of creating dynamic (interactive) web pages.&nbsp ASP scripts can be embedded in an HTML document and are parsed by Microsoft's IIS web server before being sent to the client web browser. Active Server Pages provide a method to create dynamic or database driven web pages with IIS. Active Server Pages have native support for both VBScript and Jscript and can also embed ActiveX server components.&nbsp ASP is targeted heavily for knowledge bases on the web.&nbsp Michael Caton states the following at http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/columns/0,4351,2387381,00.html &nbsp

A specification for a dynamically created Web page with a .ASP extension that contain either Visual Basic or Jscript code. When a browser requests an ASP page, the Web server generates a page with HTML code and sends it back to the browser. So ASP pages are similar to CGI scripts, but they enable Visual Basic programmers to work with familiar tools.
