ASP Uses VBScript
The default scripting language in ASP is VBScript.

ASP Files
ASP files can be ordinary HTML files. In addition, ASP files can also contain server scripts.
Scripts surrounded by <% and %> are executed on the server.
The Response.Write() method is used by ASP to write output to HTML.
The following example writes 'Hello World' into HTML:
Example
<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write('Hello World!')
%>
</body>
</html>
VBScript is case insensitive. Response.Write() can be written as response.write().
Using JavaScript in ASP
To set JavaScript as the scripting language for a web page you must insert a language specification at the top of the page:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write('Hello World!')
%>
</body>
</html>
This tutorial uses the VBScript scripting language.
More Examples
There is an easy shortcut to Response.Write(). You can use an equal sign (=) instead.
Visual Basic Sample Code Hello World Bank
The following example also writes 'Hello World' into HTML:

Response.Write('<h2>You can use HTML tags to format the text!</h2>')
%>
</body>
