Abstract
Active Server Pages allow special tags and script code in some language, typically VBScript, embedded in HTML files. These tags and code are processed by the web server to obtain a dynamically-produced HTML page to the browser.
- another architecture in the web-based distributed application arsenal.
- produce dynamic web pages on the server side (as does CGI), but separate application logic from the appearance of the page.
- the tags allow previously compiled code, in the form of ActiveX components, to be used
- allows fast development and testing.
