The need for ASP
Why bother with ASP at all, when HTML can serve your needs? If you want
to display information, all you have to do is fire up your favorite text editor,
type in a few HTML tags, and save it as an HTML file. Bingo, you're done!
But wait - what if you want to display information that changes? Supposing
you're writing a page that provides constantly changing information to your
visitors, for example, weather reports, stock quotes, a list of your girlfriends,
etc, HTML can no longer keep up with the pace. What you need is a system
that can present dynamic information. And ASP fits the bill perfectly.
So what is ASP ?
In the language of Microsoft, Active Server Pages is an open, compile-free application
environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts, and reusable ActiveX server
components to create dynamic and powerful Web-based business solutions. Active
Server Pages enables server side scripting for IIS with native support for both
VBScript and JScript. Translated into plain English, that reads - Active Server
Pages (ASPs) are Web pages that contain server-side scripts in addition to the
usual mixture of text and HTML tags. Server-side scripts are special commands
you put in Web pages that are processed before the pages are sent from the server
to the web-browser of someone who's visiting your website. When you type a URL
in the Address box or click a link on a webpage, you're asking a web-server on
a computer somewhere to send a file to the web-browser (also called a "client")
on your computer. If that file is a
normal HTML file, it looks the same when your web-browser receives it as it
did before the server sent it. After receiving the file, your web-browser
displays its contents as a combination of text, images, and sounds.
In the case of an Active Server Page, the process is similar, except there's an
extra processing step that takes place just before the server sends the file.

Before the server sends the Active Server Page to the browser, it runs all
server-side scripts contained in the page. Some of these scripts display the
current date, time, and other information. Others process information the user
has just typed into a form, such as a page in the website's guestbook. And you
can write your own code to put in whatever dynamic information you want.
To distinguish Active Server Pages from normal HTML pages, Active Server
Pages are given the ".asp" extension.
