ASP
ASP is an acronym which stands for Active Server Pages, as well as Application Service Provider. We will discuss the term as it applies to Active Server Pages in this document.
ASP is a specification for server side scripting in ActiveX (Visual Basic script or Jscript). Pages ending in the extension .ASP can be executed by ASP capable web servers, the ActiveX code will be run, and an HTML page will be printed to the browser. ASP is similar to CGI, but uses VB/Jscript instead of Perl/C++, etc.
Like CGI, many web sites have ASP sample scripts for use on your own site.
