ASP/ASP.NET and the Web - How doesi t fit? [RESOLVED]

[corwin_ranger]

Hi all,

I've done a fair amount of searching both on & off the forums and can't quite find the answer to this question.

How does ASP/ASP.NET really fit within the whole realm of HTML/XHTML?

What I mean by this is, how is a web site/page that might contain an asp page/form usually designed and how is ASP fit into the whole? Is it genereally and object inserted into the HTML page or what? I've done some work with WinForms (VB.NET, primarily). I recently finished a Web Design I class. I now undertsand how the basics of HTML/XHTML work along with Style Sheets, etc. I have a very basic understanding of client/side Jscript. So, what bit am I missing? Can someone enlighten me, or perhaps point me to a reference?

Thanks in adavnce.

Steve
