ASP Support in Browsers

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

A question that I get frequently is whether ASP is supported by Netscape or other browsers. The point to remember is that ASP is a server-side technology. Other than the URL, the user's browser only sees HTML. Your ASP file can generate whatever version of HTML it wants to create. If you know you have all Internet Explorer 5.0 clients, you can write code to take advantage of IE 5's advanced features. However, you can also write your files to generate simple HTML that can be read by all browsers.
