As others have mentioned, Active Server Pages. They're pages which load

dynamically and have scriptable content -- meaning that parts or all of

their content can be created on the fly.


ASP really is not that different in *concept* from using JavaScript or

CGI to make document.write calls; however CGI's a little arcane unless

you use python, and of course Microsoft wants to make money from ASP.


Furthermore ASP is more likely to interface with other MS products

seamlessly.


Me, I'm stickin' to CGI, being the crusty UNIX wonk that I am...
