Welcome to the Chili!Soft ASP 10-Step Tour! If you're interested in Active Server Pages (ASP), you're interested in building Web applications. One of the basic functions of Chili!Soft ASP is to gather information from a user through an HTML form. Click Show Me and then enter your name. When you press Enter on the form, the contents of the field are passed to an ASP page named accept.asp.

The Web server passes processing of all pages having the .asp filename extension to the Chili!Soft ASP Server. The results of script in accept.asp are returned from the server as pure HTML and replace the contents of the bottom frame.

If a user views the source of accept.asp with a Web browser, the user sees only the standard HTML code that the accept.asp script generated. Only by viewing the actual script file (without accessing it through the Web server) can you see the ASP code. The View Source button used throughout this tour actually calls an ASP script that grabs and displays the requested ASP script.
