How does Active Server Pages compare to Netscape LiveWire?
Netscape LiveWire requires the use of JavaScript, while Active Server Pages supports the use of virtually any scripting language, with native support for VBScript and JScript. ASP supports components written in any language, while LiveWire supports only Java components. LiveWire applications must be manually compiled after each change, and then the application stopped and restarted. Active Server Pages recognizes when an ASP file changes and automatically recompiles the application at the next request.
