A very basic question
-
ASP is an acronym for Active Server Pages. This is a model by which a scripting language is used to create web pages. These web pages contain script (usually VBScript or JavaScript) that is executed on the server. The purpose is to make your web pages interactive and not merely static information. This discussion forum is written using ASP. However, you will not see any special coding because the script is executed at the server and not sent to the client. This script can be used to accomplish a multitude of tasks, from updating or reading from a database or sending an email to modifying the servers file system (carefully).

Thank you for your reply. I would also like to know what VB and javascripts are? What is there function? ================== The original message was: ASP is an acronym for Active Server Pages. This is a model by which a scripting language is used to create web pages.

VBScript and JavaScript are just two of a multitude of programming/scripting languages out there. These are the two most widely used languages in web development. Every language is roughly the same, however, the syntax is different. For example, to set a variable in VBScript you would write in your ASP:
MyVariable = 5
in JavaScript:
var MyVariable = 5;
You will notice there is a little more to do in JavaScript. One important, and very often overlooked, item is the semi-colon at the end of the line. In Java, JScript, and JavaScript (yes, they are all different) you have to terminate each line with a semi-colon. The biggest difference if in syntax. Just remember that.
