active server pages
can you describe a situaton where i would use an active server page?
You would use an ASP page when you wanted to show dynamic content. (Content which changes frequently as opposed to static content which never changes. (HTML))
If you have information in a database (Product catalog for example) you can use ASP to display the information and let the website visitor select from varoius ways to sort and display the info on the page. (Show a specific type of product, or show products within a price range)
This user input is detected by the server which creates a customized page display for the user. Rather than displaying the entire catalog the server creates a page showing only the results of the users query.
You can use other means to create dynamic content such as PHP Perl .
ASP has an advantage in that it may be programmed in a variation of BASIC which for some people give them a little comfort if they are familiar with that language.
