which brings me to pose this question to your qualified brain:
when I was reading an .asp book it went on and on about .asp isn't a
language but a platform. that lots of different languages could be used in
an asp page, even PHP!
I'm assuming that the language call atop the page would be like php instead
of vbscript.
have you ever seen anything like that?
