How does ASP work?

  1. A user requests an .asp page.
  2. The browser requests the page from the server.
  3. The server recognizes the page as a .asp page.
  4. The server executes all of the code on the page, line by line, and produces an HTML page.
  5. This HTML page is sent back to the user's browser.
  6. The browser executes any client side scripting (Java Script, for example), then displays the resulting HTML page.
