A Client-side Environment for ASP Pages
ASP is a Web technology that relies specifically on capabilities of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). For this reason, very few commercial products have attempted to provide an ASP-to-HTML converter. The problem with such converters is that you must work in conjunction with the Web server to trigger the ASP parser and find the intrinsic objects available. When you double-click on an HTML page from the Explorer shell, you simply ask the browser to retrieve and render the source code of the file. However, when you double-click on an ASP file from Explorer, you cannot ask the browser to translate it into HTML.
