active server pages.................

[hkp]

ASP pages have the extension .asp instead of .htm, when a page with the extension .asp is requested by a browser the web server knows to interpret any ASP contained within the web page before sending the HTML produced to the browser. This way all the ASP is run on the web server and no ASP will ever be passed to the web browser.

Any web pages containing ASP cannot be run by just simply opening the page in a web browser. The page must be requested through a web server that supports ASP, this is why ASP stands for Active Server Pages, no server, no active pages.

As ASP was first introduced by Microsoft on it's web server, Internet Information Services (IIS), that runs on Windows 2000/XP Pro/NT4, it is this web server that ASP pages usually run best on.

hi, What is the difference between Asp.net & Php?

It's big differences, it's totally different programming languages, with the same purpose, more or less.

asp/asp.net is built on VisualBasic, and uses usually VBScript och some other similar language.

PHP is built with influences from C/C++ and has a totally different structure of code

ASP use for creating Dynamic web page Microsoft server side.it's easy to learn and provide excellent feature.it's built by Microsoft.

I don't think that ASP will continue to be used in IIS in the future with ASP.NET available now.

Thanks Jordan for explaining about ASP, very helpful and also I now got an ASP server on my computer. It only can use vbscript but it's better than nothing.

Doesn't '@language = "JavaScript" ' work on yours?
