Active Server Pages

ASP is a powerful server side scripting language ASP is a powerful tool for creating dynamic content, and for connecting to ODBC databases. Documents that have the .asp extension will be processed as an ASP document.

ASP can connect to databases, dynamically format the page, execute complex logic statements, and much more. Au Web Group supports the use of VBScript, JavaScript, and PerlASP(Unix) within Active Server Pages with VBScript set as the default scripting language.
