Client-side ASP scripting with HTML Scripting Pages

Client-side ASP scripting with HTML Scripting Pages
I was wondering how to make HTML pages dynamic, on the line of www.experts-exchange.com and finally decided to do a search on net for the same.

I found this excellent article on www.aspfree.com, which gives a detailed insight. I am now learning this and would post some more urls soon here, after leanring them.

Here is a sample text from the article:
One of the major drawbacks to using embedded web browser controls is that they can only display static content. That is, until now. HTML Scripting Pages, or HSP for short, is the first and only product to actually run ASP pages on the Windows client machine in a plug-in DLL. No longer are webpages doomed to only display static webpages. With HSP, webpages can be seamlessly generated on the fly within either the Internet Explorer webbrowser or embedded IEX webbrowser controls. You can actually run "browser applications" (analogous to a web application) right inside Internet Explorer entirely on the Windows machine with no Internet connection. This ability has tremendous implications for Windows programmers. Suddenly, an entire new programming/display methodology is opened up.

If anyone knows more details, please do let me know.

Thanks
Kiran
