Active Server Pages (ASP) Overview

Active Server Pages (ASP) are used to create dynamic, interactive content for Web sites. In the past, scripts written in popular scripting languages, such as the Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript), JavaScript™ or Microsoft® JScript™, were processed by the browser. With Active Server Pages, your Web server processes the scripting language commands. So, any browser, regardless of its support for VBScript, JScript, or JavaScript, can utilize ASP and the dynamic output.

ASP Basics

An Active Server Page (ASP) is a text file that has an ".asp" extension. It may contain any combination of the following:

Text
HTML tags
A scripting language, such as VBScript, JScript, or JavaScript

Publishing a Web site that uses Active Server Pages requires an ASP-compatible Web server, such as Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) for Windows NT Server, Microsoft Peer Web Services for Windows NT Workstation, or Microsoft Personal Web Server for Windows 95/98
or Windows NT Workstation.
