Both JavaScript and VBScript that are used in ASP code are not strongly typed. This means that you can treat an integer type like a string without having to do a specific conversion. For example, when I'm debugging an ASP page and I want to determine where an error is, I'll frequently put alerts in a number of places in the code so that I can track how far it gets before the error occurs. These statement look like this:
alert(1);
...
alert(2);
etc.
You'll notice that I don't convert the numbers to strings, it's automatically done for me.
