ASP in the PT Application

The PT application uses six ASP pages: gate.asp (two versions), viewData.asp, postIt.asp, menu.asp, and Build.asp. ASP plays only a small part in the PT application. Functions in JavaScript files, SQL Server stored procedures, and COM objects do most of the processing; for example, the two ASP pages that provide data access (viewData.asp and postIt.asp) only instantiate a COM object and call a method.

The following topics describe the ASP pages in detail:

• Two Versions of gate.asp describes the tasks the global and localized versions of gate.asp perform.
• Coding viewData.asp describes the code that instantiates the SQLXML object to retrieve data.
• Coding postIt.asp describes the code that instantiates the SQLXML object that performs table actions.
• Loading XML and XSL Files for Transformation in Implementing the Menu Bar describes the code in menu.asp.
• XML Merge: Assembling Form Views describes how Build.asp calls the build method in the Lingo component.
