Page "VBScript" Paragraph 13

VBScript is also used for server-side processing of web pages, most notably with Microsoft Active Server Pages ( ASP ).

The ASP engine and type library, < tt > asp. dll </ tt >, invokes < tt > vbscript. dll </ tt > to run VBScript scripts.

VBScript that is embedded in an ASP page is contained within <% and %> context switches.

The following example of an ASP page with VBScript displays the current time in 24-hour format ( Note that an '=' sign occurring after a context switch (<%) is short-hand for a call to Write () method of the Response object ), but it is also used as the default script for error messages with the windows operating systems.
