Remote scripting is an extremely powerful feature available in both Netscape Navigator (4.x and above) and Internet Explorer (4.x and above). It allows us to use a combination of scripting languages to call server side ASP code from client side pages. Remote scripting treats our ASP pages as objects and allows us to use the object.method syntax to reference the functions contained within them.

In this article we're going to look at how to setup remote scripting on the client and server, as well as two examples.

You should have IIS installed on a Windows 98, NT, 2000 or XP web server as well as SQL Server 2000 and ADO version 2.5 or above installed. You should be familiar with JavaScript and ASP, and have a little bit of SQL knowledge. By the end of this article you should have enough knowledge to implement your own version of the examples shown in this article.
