This makes it easier for you to understand how ASP works.

A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.

  • A 'Hello world' program is a computer program that outputs 'Hello World' (or some variant) on a display device. The first known version of this program comes from Brian Kernighan's paper A Tutorial Introduction to the Language B from 1972 (chapter 7).
  • Hello World VBA- Writing Your First Macro – Step 4: This is called a sub procedure where you will write the code as per your requirement. Our requirement is to show a message as “Hello World!” to do this write following line in the procedure.

VBScript is a light version of Microsoft's Visual Basic.

ASP Files

ASP files can be ordinary HTML files. In addition, ASP files can also contain server scripts.

Scripts surrounded by <% and %> are executed on the server.

The Response.Write() method is used by ASP to write output to HTML.

The following example writes 'Hello World' into HTML:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write('Hello World!')
%>

</body>
</html>
Show Example »

VBScript is case insensitive. Response.Write() can be written as response.write().

Using JavaScript in ASP

To set JavaScript as the scripting language for a web page you must insert a language specification at the top of the page:

Example

<%@ language='javascript'%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write('Hello World!')
%>

</body>
</html>

This tutorial uses the VBScript scripting language.

More Examples

There is an easy shortcut to Response.Write(). You can use an equal sign (=) instead.

The following example also writes 'Hello World' into HTML:

Example

Visual Studio Code Hello World

BasicVisual

<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write('<h2>You can use HTML tags to format the text!</h2>')
%>

</body>
</html>

HTML attributes can be a part of the output:
