ASP

=Active Server Pages (ASP)=

ASP is a technology that enables you to make dynamic and interactive web pages through the use of server-side scripting to dynamically produce web pages that are not affected by the type of browser the web site visitor is using. Several different scripting languages can be used to accomplish this including VBScript, JScript and others.

ASP pages have the extension .asp instead of .htm. 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 which is then dynamically generated and presented to the user. In other words, when a browser requests an ASP, the Web server generates a page with HTML code and sends it back to the browser.
