ActiveHTML: What is ASP?

ASP is a server-side scripting technology developed by Microsoft. It is an open, compile-free application environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts, and reusable components to build dynamic and powerful Web applications.

ASP is language-neutral, so if you are skilled at a scripting language such as VBScript or JScript, you already know how to use ASP. You can use server-side ASP scripts to store HTML form information in a database, personalize Web sites according to visitor preferences, or use different HTML features based on the browser. ActiveHTML supports every ActiveX Scripting Engine around (e.g. Python, Perlscript, VBScript, JScript).

The following sample gives you a small taste on how to use ASP to create dynamic web pages:

Simple ASP-Code with VBScript:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello World</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<% for i = 3 to 7 %>
	<FONT SIZE=<% = i %>>Hello World</FONT><BR>
<% next %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This would be the result of the previous ASP-Code:
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
