 ASP vs DHTML with data binding

Hi,

Could somebody put some light on this question please.
What is better ASP with VBScript run at server and
response.write etc or some sort of DHTML with data binding.
I am asking if I would create some ASP pages to browse, edit and
manipulate data on MS SQL 7 / 2000 on a Win 2000 server
and all this to work over internet not intranet.

TIA,
Regards,
George.

Since not all browsers support DHTML, and those that do aren't consistent, I
would think that you'd be best off using ASP if your target is internet.

Douglas,

Thanks for the answer. I see your point.
However I am actually asking about something
like let say purchase orders placing and delivery tracking
application which will definitely not be a global
internet eComerce application. So in this matter
what would you answer to my question.

TIA,
Regards,
George.

I wouldn't think that this would change Douglas' reply. Even if the app is
to run on your own intranet, ASP has advantages over DHTML, primarily
because it is easier to make client browser independent, and you have your
business rules defined and processed on a server rather than being applied
on the client's end.

Use whatever server-side language you want(VBScript, JScript,
PerlScript, JSP, ASP, etc.). But avoid DHTML and client-side processing
for now.

Reason is, while today this is an application that your users may run on
IE only, six months from now they may insist on viewing the data on
their Palm Pilot or cell phone. In that case, ASP and a "lowest common
denominator" page markup language, such as HTML 2.0 or 3.2, will prove
to be the most flexible.
