ASP is which?
-
Client-side executable code (executes at the browser level)
-
Server side executable code (runs at the server only)
ASP is server-side technology - code executes on the web server before any HTML is sent to the browser. The browser receives only the generated output, not the ASP source code. Client-side code (option A) like JavaScript runs in the browser after the page loads. This server-side execution is fundamental to how ASP works.
ASP (Active Server Pages) is server-side scripting technology: the code (VBScript/JScript embedded in .asp files) executes on the web server, which then sends plain, already-processed HTML to the browser. The browser never sees or executes the ASP code itself, unlike client-side technologies (e.g., JavaScript in the page) that run in the browser. So "server side executable code (runs at the server only)" correctly describes ASP, while "client-side executable code" describes a fundamentally different execution model that doesn't apply here.
