Description of Active Server Bricks :
The result of that work is Active Server Bricks the Site Building Components Library we are presenting on this page. It is based on Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages) technology and implemented as a set of JavaScript functions and objects in files you can include into your pages. Though the functions has been written in JavaScript, you can use them with your VBScript pages as well. / The base functionality of a site built with Active Server Bricks is the centralized database connection mechanism, recordset extensions and SQL independed database queries, unified way to store site state for building really stateless sites by using special component with ASP (Active Server Pages) Session object functionality. So you'll be able to keep the site state in your database or files. The library has internationalization and multi-language support. The library may help designers to experiment with site colors and fonts, it supports color and font schemes. The Through Parameters Concept implemented in the library is an another way to keep site state just passing data from page to page via standard HTTP query parameters. It is what another great feature of the library is based on. The feature is Page Returning Mechanism. It is the way to call some site section you're planning to return from. For example, if you have some pages you want user to be authenticated to allow him to use their features, you can forward the user to the section that provides user authentication and when it has done the user will be returned to the previous section. In this case you should not control what page the user needs to be returned to. The library does it for you. /
