As the name suggests Active Server Pages i.e page of the website changes depending on the actions of the user. These pages are made user friendly where users can interact with the web page by logging in and using their own personal settings. It gives a feel of personal attention to the customers.
In this process an ASP code is embeded into the web site's HTML pages. The technology, ASP allows you to create dynamic database driven pages, a user can access data in a database, and interact with page objects such as Active X or Java components.
There is a difference between the working and presentation of normal site and site embeded with ASP. If the file is standard HTML, then, when web browser receives the web page it will look exactly the same as it did on the web server but the case is different when its an ASP site firstly, the server will run the HTML code; and then, run the ASP code. For example: the ASP code could be the current date, or time; and other such information.
Its recommended to host your ASP pages on a Windows 2000 server as they are more stable and most ASP components work with IIS (Internet Information Services).
