During the last few years the number of Web sites has grown dramatically, as well as the level of quality demanded from these sites. To succeed today, it's not enough to place some content on a static site. You need to have more and more features to attract new visitors and make them return again and again. Some of these features are not directly related to increasing the interest of your visitors and the level of traffic. Sometimes they are even not visible to the user, but are nonetheless crucial to getting your site's quality to the top.

Let's start coding! First you will need a populated database. You can download the source code for this demo, and use the included database.

The response object is often used in conjunction with various kinds of coding schemes. No discussion of response would be complete without a discussion of how to "handle" or "escape" special characters. This sample script demonstrates common conversion and transformation commands that make sense to use with the response.write command:
