Working with asp pages without the presence of a Web server!

[ntbutic]

Hi
I am designing an architecture where same scripts should run both server side and also client side(when the server is off using a temporary database).Well MSDN documentations made me confused where denoting:"IIS SENDs asp pages to asp.dll" Now I am trying to SEND asp pages to asp.dll by myself but what SENDing means.Because of this phrase i was thinking that asp.dll is something special but when browsing its lib I just saw familiar asp objects but not specific methods for getting asp and returning html.
Thanks!

So what do you want to do??

You need to parse the asp file somehow. ASP "sends" your .asp file to asp.dll to achieve this parsing, so turning your vbscript / data access / ... into an html output which a browser can display.

I don't think it is possible to "work with ASP pages without the presense of a web server". But if you do not have a server that you can use, you should be able to run the files locally after installing Personal Web server onto your local machine.

Thank u swilliams.I know my question is funny but with "Without a web server" I meant PWS too.Well parsing asp is imposible at the first glance maybe terrible
at the second! but I want to save the most reusability of the written scripts of my pages;maybe WSH can help but I am looking for easier answers.
