ASP is a server-side scripting technology from Microsoft used to create dynamic web pages. It allows using different scripting languages like JavaScript, VBScript, and JScript. When a browser requests an ASP file, the web server processes the file by executing any script code and returns an HTML file to the browser. The ASP object model includes intrinsic objects like Request, Response, and Session that provide functionality without needing to be created.

Active Server Pages (ASP)
ASP is a powerful server-based technology
from Microsoft, designed to create dynamic and interactive HTML pages for your WWW. Advantages of ASP
– ASP is very simple to learn, much easier
than Perl and C. – Built-in database interfacing elements – Choice of scripting languages JavaScript, Vbscript, Jscript – ASP components give several benefits to ASP programmers: speed, security, modularity and extensibility. Since ASP components are compiled, they will execute much faster than standard, interpreted ASP codes Execution of an ASP file: – A browser sends request for .asp file to web server. – The web server searches for the .asp file asked for either on the disk or in the memory. – The web server forwards the request to a file named asp.dll, which is called as ASP engine, for execution. – The ASP engine executes the required asp file from top to bottom. The commands enclosed in <% %> are executed. At this stage there may be a connection made to a database or another asp file may be invoked. – The result of this process is a standard .html file. – The, html file sent back to web browser. – The browser interprets .html file and displays result. ASP Object Model: • The Active Server Object Model consists of Six intrinsic objects. These objects do not need to be created before they are used. 1. Request object - Data sent from client to server 2. Response object - Data sent from server to client 3. Application object - Application wide data 4. Session object - User specific data 5. Server object - Extending IIS with custom components 6. ASP Error Object Installation Procedure: – Install IIS from control panel – Control Panel – Add /Remove programs – Add / Remove Windows components – IIS – Make the directory web sharing. – Go to properties. Give all permissions. ‘Execute’ enable. – Go to Administrator Tools. – Administrator Tools – Internet Information Services – Default website – Go to default web site. – Keep proper menu name. – Remove invalid names (like default.html, index.html etc.), if any. Ex -- Hello World.asp <html> <head><title>Hello!World</title> <head> <body> <% Dim var1 Var1 = "Hello World" Response. Write var1 %> </body> </html> • How do you specify scripting language? You can use Vbscript, JavaScript or Jscript in ASP. You can use more than one scripting languages in one program. There are many ways of specifying the default scripting language: 1. Make a default setting in IIS for Default Web Site. • Control panel – Administrative Tools – Internet Service Manager – Default web site – properties – Home directory – Configuration – App Options – Default ASP language 2. Specify primary scripting language for a particular page. <%@ LANGUAGE = JSCRIPT %> <Html> … </Html> 23. You can change the script using <script> tag within a page. <Html> <Body> <Script LANGUAGE = “JavaScript”> </Script> </Body> </Html> Example: DateTime.asp <html> <head><title>Date & Time</title></head> <body> <% Response.write "Today is " & Now()%> <%Response.write "Today's date is" & date() %> <%Response.write "Today's Time is" & time()%> </body> </html> <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>The Polite Web Server</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="wheat"> <H1>Welcome</H1> <FONT SIZE="3"> <B>This is the Polite Web Server, at <% = Time %> on <% = Date %></B></FONT> <% If Hour(Now) < 8 then %> Good Morning! <% End if %> </BODY> </HTML>
