[WEB4LIB] Active Server Pages

[Richard Wiggins]

Sure.  ASP is analogous to CGI; it's a server side solution for connecting a
Web server to a database.  The browser should just see (and send) HTML and
should not care.

You may be thinking of ActiveX "controls" which are client side and
Microsoft specific.  Native Netscape wasn't built to handle ActiveX controls
(but some finagling can be done with plugins).

Do any browsers other than IE support Active Server Pages?
