How do ASP pages work?

The words active server pages indicate this is a server-side process. When a customer comes to your home page (index.asp), their browser will request that page from your server. Once the file has been located, the page code is processed by the server and generates the html code to display in the user's browser. For example, you might use an asp script to retrieve a cookie with a return customer's name to personalize your home page for them.
