Atul,

Check out Cold Fusion: http://www.allaire.com It runs on NT as a service and uses ODBC to talk to SQL compliant dbs on the backend. They've implemented extensions to html which are processed by their cgi program. It allows for dynamic html generation based on run-time database queries, including rudimentary processing directives such as if/else blocks and goto types of flow control btw files. The system goes for $500.

Cheers, Albert
