What is ASP?

Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP or ASP Classic, was Microsoft's first server-side script engine for dynamically generated web pages. Initially released as an add-on to InternetInformation Services(IIS) via the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack (ca. 1996), it was subsequently included as a free component of Windows Server (since the initial release of Windows 2000 Server). ASP.NET, first released in January 2002, has superseded ASP.

ASP 2.0 provided six built-in objects: Application, ASPError, Request, Response, Server, and Session.Session, for example, represents a session that maintains the state of variables from page to page.The Active Scripting engine's support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables ASP websites to access functionality in compiled libraries such as DLLs.

ASP 3.0 does not differ greatly from ASP 2.0 but it does offer some additional enhancements such as: Server.Transfer method, Server.Execute method, and an enhanced ASPError object. ASP 3.0 also enabled buffering by default and optimized the engine for better performance.

DHTML And ASP Presentation Transcript:
1.DHTML & ASP

2.INRODUCTION    
DHTML is NOT a language.
DHTML is a TERM describing the art of making dynamic and interactive web pages.
DHTML combines HTML, JavaScript, the HTML  and CSS.
"Dynamic HTML is a term used by some vendors to describe the combination of HTML, style sheets and scripts that allows documents to be animated."

3.ASP
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.

4.Before the server sends the Active Server Page to the browser, it runs all server-side scripts contained in the page.
Active Server Pages are given the ".asp" extension.

5.Server-side scripts typically start with <% and end with %>. 
The <% is called an opening tag, and the %> is called a closing tag. In between these tags are the server-side scripts.
 You can insert server-side scripts anywhere in your webpage - even inside HTML tags.

6.Since the server must do additional processing on the ASP scripts, it must have the ability to do so. 
The only servers which support this facility are Microsoft Internet Information Services & Microsoft Personal Web Server.

7.



<%
Response.Write “Hello, World!”
%>


8.EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
As you can see above, we have enclosed a single line of VBScript within the opening and closing tags.
 It says,
Response.Write “Hello, World!”
This statement displays the string “Hello, World!” on the webpage.

9.Displaying the Date




<%= Date %>
10.VARIABLES
A variable is declared in VBScript using the Dim keyword.
 <%
 Dim myVar
  %>
In VBScript, all variables are variants. Their type is determined automatically by the runtime interpreter, and the programmer need not (and should not) bother with them.
