How To Get Started With ASP
ASP (Active Server Page) are components that allow web developers to create server-side scripted templates that generate dynamic, interactive Web server applications. ASP can only be used on the Windows based platform.
By embedding special programmatic codes (ASP) in standard HTML pages, a visitor can access data in a database, interact with page objects such as Active-X or Java components, or create other types of dynamic output.
The HTML output by an Active Server Page is completely browser independent which means that it can be read equally well by Microsoft Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or most other browsers.
A simple ASP script looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>asp page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
The time here is <%= now %>
Your browser is <% = request.servervariables("http_user_agent") %>
</body></html>
The output for this is:
The time here is <current time>
Your browser is <type of browser>
