That is why the top-level pages of this site are not ASPs. Instead, we maintain Web pages that must be indexed by search engines as ASPs and then save the resulting static pages for deployment. That way, we get the ease of maintenance and consistency of dynamic ASPs while satisfying the search engines. For example, it would take us less than a minute to add a new entry to the table on contents you see in the left margin of this page such that it appears and behaves correctly on all related ASPs. ASPs do not require a special client PC set-up procedure.
ASPs can sense a Web browser's capabilities and adapt their output accordingly.
They are more vendor-independent because they have source code that a lot of developers can understand. Our Reusable Library of Active Server Pages We can develop new applications or enhancements more quickly because we are building on our library of over 70,000 lines of reusable ASP source code. Foreign keys are automatically transformed into multiple-choice select boxes. The number of hits displayed per page is user-specified. Anchors to detail records are generated automatically.
