Active(X) Server Pages (ASP) is a language-independent framework designed by Microsoft to generate dynamic web content. It allows coding of server-side scripts that are executed by a Web server in response to a user's request for a URL. ASP scripts are similar to other server-side scripting technologies like Java Server Pages, Perl Server Pages and so on.
An ASP page is a standard ASCII text file that contains both HTML tags and scripting code. Typical scripting languages that can be embedded into ASP pages are VBScript and JavaScript. All scripting portions are delimited by <% and %> tags. Example ASP page:
<html> Current date and time is: <% ' Start comments with "'" response.write "[/b]" response.write Now() ' writes the current date and time. %> </html>
