Tell something about Active Server Pages?

Answer Posted / murugan

ASP stands for Active Server Pages
ASP is a program that runs inside IIS
IIS stands for Internet Information Services
ASP is a Microsoft Technology

An ASP file is just the same as an HTML file
An ASP file can contain text, HTML, XML, and scripts
Scripts in an ASP file are executed on the server
An ASP file has the file extension ".asp"

When a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns
the file.

When a browser requests an ASP file, IIS passes the request
to the ASP engine. The ASP engine reads the ASP file, line
by line, and executes the scripts in the file. Finally, the
ASP file is returned to the browser as plain HTML.

Dynamically edit, change or add any content of a Web page
Respond to user queries or data submitted from HTML forms
Access any data or databases and return the results to a
browser.

Customize a Web page to make it more useful for individual
users.

The advantages of using ASP instead of CGI and Perl, are
those of simplicity and speed.

Provide security since your ASP code can not be viewed from
the browser.

Clever ASP programming can minimize the network traffic.
