iHTML
iHTML
is a powerful server side scripting language.
iHTML is an excellent tool for creating
dynamic content, and for connecting to ODBC
databases. It is very similar to Cold Fusion
and Active Server Pages. iHTML is powerful,
yet very easy to use. In fact, most iHTML
tags look very similar to HTML tags, so
learning iHTML is easy.
To use IHTML on a page you need to:
1
place <!iHTML> in the first line
2 Rename the file so the extension
is .ihtml
iHTML can do anything that requires server-side
activity. iHTML can do everything that ASP,
Cold Fusion, and CGI would normally be used
for. Since iHTML runs lightning fast, it
is often preferable to use iHTML instead
of CGI.
iHTML can connect to databases, connect
to remote web servers, dynamically format
the page, add the current date to an existing
page, show the time on a page, write gif
files on the fly, execute complex logic
statements, and much more. iHTML is considered
to be a full language in many respects,
since it can do such a wide variety of tasks.
There are some examples of iHTML in use

ASP
ASP was developed at Microsoft for use
with their IIS web server package. ASP is
a powerful tool for creating dynamic content,
and for connecting to ODBC databases. Documents
that have the .asp extension will be processed
as an ASP document.
ASP can connect to databases, dynamically
format the page, execute complex logic statements,
and much more. 1RateHost.com supports
the use of VBScript, JavaScript, PerlScript,
and PythonScript within Active Server Pages
with VBScript set as the default scripting
language.
