ASP

Active Server Pages (ASP) was the first server-side script engine of Microsoft for Web pages that are generated dynamically. ASP is basically a tool used to create dynamic, interactive Web server applications. The web pages, thus, generated will never get affected by the type of browser the website visitor is using.

An ASP file can contain text, HTML tags and scripts. All the scripts that are present in an ASP file are executed on the server. Through ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to make Web pages interactive and Web-based applications powerful which are easy to develop and modify. The default scripting language used for writing ASP is VBScript, but you can use other scripting languages like JScript as well for writing ASP code.
