Is there a guideline as to using asp or html/htm pages? If it is just a
static pages is it best one or the other? Performance better for one or the
other?

ASP pages are processed by the server before being uploaded to the client
browser. This means that you can do things 'server-side' with ASP that you
cannot do client-side with plain HTML - like interact with a database on the
server.

Because there is this additional overhead of server processing, then
performance may well be impacted. But this price is more than offset by the
extra capabilities you have.

If you are not sure about the differences here then you need to stick with
plain htm(l) pages! 8)

Thanks Murray.

That is my point we have a few here that do ALL pages with asp extension.
Most are just plain pages no db stuff, no special coding behind the scenes.

One rationale for always using ASP extensions (whether the pages contain
VBScript or not) would be that at some point in the future, you plan on
adding dynamic scripting to the pages. When you do that, you wouldn't then
have to a) relink your menus, or b) worry about SE ranking on pages that
have now been renamed....

Here's an ASP verse for you:

ASP is technology that renders stuff on pages,
Not static stuff, dynamic stuff; it's been around for ages.
It got its roots from CGI, but went a little farther,
Because it mixes template code with script, and saves the bother
Of making changes in your code when changes come (no doubt),
And locating the code entwined with markup all throughout.

But if you're not a programmer, and many of us aren't,
And if you haven't got a clue what ASP is, darn it,
Just ".html" will do, forget about this stuff.
The life of a programmer is really kind of rough.
I know, I are one, and although I love to code all day,
Not many of us do. And now I bid you a good-day.

ASP.Net, it seems, is all the rage these days,
It's object-oriented, compiled, and strong in all its ways.
Of course, that doesn't make it any easier to do it,
In fact, because it's powerful, it's harder to get through it,
With time, it gets much easier, and object-orientation,
Has lots to offer programmers, in terms of computation.

Still, JavaScript, HTML, HTTP and so on
Are quite a lot to master, and I can think of no one
Who knows them all quite perfectly, and even though we try,
The standards keep on changing, like them clouds up in the sky.
But work and study never killed a single soul, you know,
So, get up off your lazy a**, and crack them books now Joe!
