Originally posted by : bppraveen001@lycos.com (Praveen)Hello Doctor Hebert, See in Web Programming in two places your requests will be get processed one in the WebServer i.e., the hosting machine and one more is the browser where the end user is seeing(browsing) the pages.. If u request for a .asp page your request will be first processed by the ASP engine and will convert the entire code which is in server side i.e., into html tags and will send the result to the Browser which had requested for the page. If u have a page which has extension .html you cannot write code in this block i.e., server side.. you can use this only for tha pages which has extension of .asp HTML pages will be processed in the Browser only but ASP pages will be first processed in WebServe later in Browsers.Hope this may clear your doubtsHappy ProgrammingPraveen
