Ok I new to this. Im such a new born to this, Im still in the incubator.

What are ASPs?

What do they do?

(In know they are web relating)
 

ASP are dynamic pages displaying data from a Database. As your database changes so do your pages. QUOTE OF THE DAY

but of course in the IT world, you'll often see ASP on magazines for corporations, which do not relate to &quot;Active Server Pages&quot; but are instead known as &quot;Application Service Provider&quot; just so you dont confuse them when you happen to see them show up other places

a short example of an ASP is this

<%@ Language=VBscript %>
<HTML>
<BODY>
The current time on this server is <%=Time()%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

when running an ASP off a server (such as NT4 w/ IIS4 - Win2k w/ IIS5) , the server see if it's an ASP (the .asp extention) , and when it encounters the <% %> serverside script delimiters, it processes these, then it finally sends the processed page to the client

<HTML>
<BODY>
The current time on this server is 4:09PM
</BODY>
</HTML>

the user never gets the serverside code, because it is executed and processed before getting to the user. Karl Blessing

And that's why I'm a rokie at this :cool: QUOTE OF THE DAY
