ASP Syntax

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

Classic ASP syntax separates server code and HTML with <% %> blocks placed between the page tags. The <%= %> mark is an abbreviation for printing value, whereas comments in scripts use single quotes. Because logic and display are mixed in one file, a neat block layout is very much a determinant of page readability.

Key points

The server code block opens with <% and closes with %>.
<%= expression %> displays value without writing Response.Write.
VBScript comments use single quotes along the row.
HTML and server code may be mixed into one file. (.asp)
