15. What is an .ASP file?

It is a Text File that contains the combination of the following:
· Text
· HTML tags
· Script Commands

16.How are scripts executed?

ASP provides scripting engines that execute the corresponding
scripting languages on the server side. Scripts should be encoded within the
<% ….%> delimiters.

17. What are the browsers that can access ASP pages?

· Internet Explorer (supports VBScript, JavaScript)
· Netscape Communicator/ Navigator (supports only JavaScript, Vbscript can be also added too)

18. What is a "Virtual Directory"?

Virtual directories are aliases for directory paths on the server.
It allows to move files on the disk between different folders, drives or even
servers without changing the structure of web pages. It avoids typing an extremely
long URL each time to access an ASP page.

19. What is the difference between client-side script and server-side script?

Scripts executed only by the browser without contacting the
server is called client-side script. It is browser dependent. The scripting
code is visible to the user and hence not secure. Scripts executed by the
web server and processed by the server is called server-side script.

20. Give the comment Tags for the following:

VBScript : REM & ‘(apostrophe)
JavaScript : // (single line comment)
/* */ (Multi-line comments)

21.How can you disable the browser to view the code?

Writing codes within the <! -- //-- > Tag.

22. How does the server identify and execute the server-side scripts within HTML code?

· Including the RUNAT=SERVER attribute in the <SCRIPT> tag
· Use <% … %> server script delimiter

23. How can you change the primary scripting language for a page?

Specify <%@ LANGUAGE = Scripting language %>

24. What is the order of execution for an ASP application?

1) Global.asa
2) Server-side Includes
3) Jscript scripts tagged within <SCRIPT> tags
4) HTML together with scripts tagged within <% … %> delimiters
5) VBScripts tagged within <SCRIPT> tags

25. What are the tasks performed by <FORM> tags?

· <FORM> tags provides space for the user to input values
· the form has a button to submit information back to the server
· It transfers control to another ASP page
· It carries the information in the fields to another ASP page

26. What are the attributes of the <FORM> tags? What are their functions?

The two attributes are ACTION and METHOD
The ACTION gives the name of the ASP file that should be opened next by which this file can access the information given in the form
The METHOD determines which of the two ways (POST or GET) the browser can send the information to the server

27. What are the tags necessary to be present within the <FORM> tag?

<INPUT> tag: Provides input spaces (text boxes, combo boxes, radio button, etc.) on a form called fields. It has three attributes TYPE, NAME and VALUE. TYPE provides the characteristics of the field and the NAME specifies a name to the field by which it can be referred.

28. What is QueryString collection?

This collection stores any values that are provided in the URL. This can be generated by three methods:
· By clicking on an anchor tag <A>
· By sending a form to the server by the GET method
· Through user-typed HTTP address

29. What is a Form collection?

The Form collection holds the values of the form elements submitted with the POST method. This is the only way to generate a Form collection.

30. What is the difference between QueryString collection and Form collection?
The main difference is that the QueryString collection gets appended to a URL(with a ?) and can be generated by three ways whereas the Form collection is sent as part of the HTTP request body and there is only way to generate a Form collection.

31. What is Cookies collection?

Cookies are text files that store information about the user by which the web server identifies and marks each different visitor to a web site and determines where a user has been before. A cookie can store information only when the user sends it. Individual cookies are limited to 4KB of data. The maximum number of cookies allowed is 300. Cookies are stored on client’s machine.

32. What is the difference between Cookies collection and Form/QueryString collection?

Cookie collection does not have the Count property. Cookies can have multiple values for the same cookie name but each value can be referred using a key whereas in a Form/QueryString cookie each value has to be referred using a index value.

33. What is ServerVariables collection?

The ServerVariables collection holds all of the HTTP headers and also additional items of information about the server.

34. What is ClientCertificate collection?

A ClientCertificate is an encrypted number that is stored in a file on the user’s computer. This stores details of any security certificates included with the request.

35. What are the event handlers of Session Object?

· Session _OnStart – This event will be fired when a new user begins a session with the web site.
· Session_OnEnd – This event is called whenever a session terminates.

36. What are the advantages of Cookies over Session Object?

· It informs each page what session the request belongs to when a user accesses during a session.
· It retrieves all the session information stored on the server.
· Cookies can persist for a much longer period of time than session that has a timeout value usually of 20 minutes and hence can store information even when a user is of f the site.

37. How will you delete a Cookie?

By setting its Expires property to any date prior to today
Response.Cookies("cookie name").Expires = Date – 1.

38. What is Server Object?

Controls the ASP execution environment. It can set the amount of time script can run before an error occurs. Converts a virtual path to a physical path on the server. Takes a user supplied string and encode it into proper format for a URL string.

39. What is a TextStream object?

It allows you to access(read/write) the contents of text files stored on the web server.
