Lets look at what is The code color syntax is the same as you will see in You just created your first dynamic website every time See my next tutorial on the ASP object model to get a
the following code in your choice of development environment.
<HTML>
?á?á?á <BODY>
?á?á?á?á?á?á?á <B>Welcome
to my webpage hosted on PWS!B>
?á?á?á?á?á?á?á <BR>The

your machine and name it default.asp. Try accessing your website by opening a
browser and typing http://127.0.0.1/default.asp or http://yourmachinename/default.asp.
127.0.0.1 is what is called the loopback address and is the TCPIP address that
points at your machine. The text: Welcome to my webpage hosted on PWS! should
now show up. On the line under you should read "The time is now:"
followed by the current time. Like

and %>?á seperates the
HTML code from ASP code.?á The server recognizes the <%
and %> and processes anything
contained inside.?á Response.Write calls the Response Object that is part of
the ASP object model. The write part of response.write calls the write method of
that object. I will expand upon this more in the future. TIME()
is recognized by the script engine as a function that retrieves the current
time.
it is requested it will be updated with the current time on the server. While
this is not really helpful it works well as an example.
better idea of what all ASP supports.
