Cool. Thanks for the confirmation.

As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as ASP code. By default the ASP engine runs VBScript. However, you can tell the ASP engine to interpret JScript (MS' version of JavaScript) by using <% @language=JScript %>. Have a look here:

And, yes, this is all happening at the server, not the client.
2) JSP *IS* Java code, compiled by the Tomcat engine into a byte-code state (binary). This greatly increases performance (but not as much as native executable code).
Right. So instead of ASP/VBScript perhaps a better analogy would be ASP/.NET, since C# and the other .NET languages get compiled into .NET byte-code similar to the way Java works.
