The ContentRotator object calls the Server.MapPath method to map the specified path to a physical directory. The ASP Content Rotator component creates a ContentRotator object that displays a different HTML content string each time a user enters or refreshes a page. A text file, called the Content Schedule File, includes the information about the content strings.

The content strings can contain HTML tags so you can display any type of content that HTML can represent: text, imagess, colors, or hyperlinks.

The Global.asa file is an optional file that can contain declarations of objects, variables, and methods that can be accessed by every page in an ASP application. All valid browser scripts (JavaScript, VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, etc.) can be used within Global.asa.

The Global.asa file can contain only the following:

• Application events
• Session events
• <object> declarations 
• TypeLibrary declarations
• the #include directive

Note: The Global.asa file must be stored in the root directory of the ASP application, and each application can only have one Global.asa file.

Your ASP file will invariably be a mixture of text, ASP, and HTML tags. Have a look at the code below. In black is the HTML, in red is the text and in blue is the ASP(VBscript) code.

Just in case you haven't noticed ASP pages end with the file extension .asp as opposed to HTML files that have the .html or .htm extension.

Copy the code below and paste it into a text editor such as notepad or wordpad. Save the file as 'test.asp'. Do Not save this with an .html or .htm or .txt file extension. With Notepad select "All Files" in the "Save as type" drop-down menu to avoid having your file renamed to test.asp.txt.
Next simply FTP the file to your web server. Type the URL address into your browser, this will be a URL like http://www.yourwebsite.com/test.asp. If the page displays the current system date and time without any error messages then your server supports ASP.

FOR/NEXT loops are used when you want to execute a piece of code a set number of times. If, for example, you want to output the world 'Hello' 10 times, you could either code it manually or you could use:
