iHTML
iHTML is a powerful server side scripting language. iHTML
is an excellent tool for creating dynamic content, and for connecting
to ODBC databases. It is very similar to Cold Fusion and Active
Server Pages. iHTML is powerful, yet very easy to use. In fact,
most iHTML tags look very similar to HTML tags, so learning
iHTML is easy.
To use IHTML on a page you need to:
1 place <!iHTML>
in the first line
2 Rename the file so the extension is .ihtml
iHTML can do anything that requires server-side activity.
iHTML can do everything that ASP, Cold Fusion, and CGI would
normally be used for. Since iHTML runs lightning fast, it
is often preferable to use iHTML instead of CGI.
iHTML can connect to databases, connect to remote web servers,
dynamically format the page, add the current date to an existing
page, show the time on a page, write gif files on the fly,
execute complex logic statements, and much more. iHTML is
considered to be a full language in many respects, since it
can do such a wide variety of tasks.
There are some examples of iHTML in use at http://www.ihtml.com/learning/examples/
ASP
ASP was developed at Microsoft for use with their IIS
web server package. ASP is a powerful tool for creating dynamic
content, and for connecting to ODBC databases. Documents that
have the .asp extension will be processed as an ASP document.
ASP can connect to databases, dynamically format the page,
execute complex logic statements, and much more.HOH supports
the use of VBScript, JavaScript, PerlScript, and PythonScript
within Active Server Pages with VBScript set as the default
scripting language.
You can find information about ASP at:

Perl
We only recommend using PERL if you are not familiar with
any of the other technologies supported at HOH. HOH uses Active
State Perl and documentation is available on http://www.activestate.com
