Active Server Pages uses delimiters to parse any scripts contained between their delimiters "<%" and "%>". These scripts can be VBScript, JScript, etc., and will be executed by the IIS Server. These scripts can generate HTML "that are returned to the client's browser".

Oracle WebServer 2.x and up (including Oracle Web Application Server 3.0) can serve up static HTML files, but as well, the HTML can be generated dynamically through the use of the PL/SQL Web Toolkit. In brief, this is a collection of PL/SQL procedures and functions to generate dynamic HTML. And in conjunction with the Web Request Broker, this type of access, especially to the database, is very fast.
