ACTIVE SERVER PAGES
An Active server page creates dynamic web pages. ASP isn’t the first technology to do so but this is the easiest and fastest technology. ASP was officially announced to the world by Microsoft on July 16 1996. ASP is relatively simple to learn all you know is scripting language, which can then be built into existing HTML pages.
ASP enhanced with the release of internet information server 4.0 and personnel web server 4.0
Active server pages create dynamic forms which can return feedback to the user
It allows you to access databases and return the sorted results on your websites
It makes more useful for each and every individual.
Why ASP is better than HTML
Unlike HTML ASP is not a language. It is not an application. ASP is a technology for building dynamic and interactive web pages. Why we need ASP we could stick with HTML-after all it is easy to master in HTML.I will explain how ASP is different form HTML and how ASP is useful
What happens to HTML pages?
When a request for a page comes form the browser, the web server performs these steps
Reads the request form the browser
Find the page in the server
And sends page on the browser
What happens to ASP pages?
In this additional step takes place. Instead of displaying static HTML page out to the user, we want the server to take some action according to our asp code. The ASP code will make some decision and creates a page that is tailored for that particular user.
Here’s are some example of things that can be done with ASP but not possible with HTML.
-
Make easy to edit contents of a web pages by updating a text file or the content of a database rather than the HTML code itself.
-
Display the updated content in the database, and manipulate the data therein, and sort the content in the database
-
Create pages that rotates through a series of different graphics
-
Get feedback form the user and return information to the user.
Can asp be viewed on all browser?
Yes!!!!!!!!!!. ASP are executed on the server. So you can view on any browser to view the results.
