your assertions are correct... ASP is a server-side scripting
technology, much like PHP, JSP, etc...

the only way you would see ASP code is if the server was
misconfigured and passing that code to the browser... it can
happen...

otherwise, all ASP is parsed on the server...

many people confuse client-side VBScript with ASP... they are
different things...

ways to tell if a page is probably ASP-driven:
- it ends in .asp
- netcraft.com/whats (tells you what a server is running)
