What is an ASP file?

Your ASP file will invariably be a mixture of text, ASP, and HTML tags. Have a look at the code below. In black is the HTML, in red is the text and in blue is the ASP(VBscript) code.

Just in case you haven't noticed ASP pages end with the file extension .asp as opposed to HTML files that have the .html or .htm extension.

<html>
<head>
<title>What is an ASP file</title>
</head>

<body>

<p>The time currently is <%= Time %> <br>
and the date is <%= Date %></p>

</body>
</html>

An ASP file can also contain Javascript and XML.
