ASP: Learning by Example

Focusing on the essential knowledge needed to quickly learn how to write Active Server Pages, this book teaches by example rather than theory. Containing 24 examples of ASP coding, with each followed by a detailed explanation, tips are given and new concepts are introduced along the way, both in the body of the text as well as in the examples. Topics covered include editing ASP files, branching, conversion with JavaScript, arrays, debugging, and cookies. In order to fully understand ASP, SQL, Access, PWS, and VBScript are covered. Examples proceed from simple to advanced, demonstrating such functions as changing variables from text to numbers, writing information in a form field, writing variables to HTML code, searching databases, inserting data into databases, retrieving data from tables, and visitor counters.
