An ASP You Can Grasp: The ABCs of Active Server PagesFiles created with Active Server Pages have the extension .ASP. This story is an example; take a look at the address above.

When you make a change on the ASP file on the server, you need only save the changes to the file—the next time the Web page is loaded, the script will automatically be compiled.
