New page

Acronym: AOLserver Dynamic Pages

ADP is the primary method of providing dynamic content on AOLserver.

ADPs contain a mixture of '''TCL''' and HTML, with the TCL code being parsed and evaluated by AOLserver as it delivers the page. ADPs may invoke other ADPs (using [[ns_adp_include]]) and thereby build up libraries for common elements and subsections of a page like title headers, menu and navigation bars, and footers, as well functional modules like acess validation or database queries.

The TCL code in an ADP is contained within '''<% %>''' pseduo-tag pairs. A modified format, '''<%= %>''', displays the results of the TCL code. A very simple ADP would be:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Clock</title>
</head>
<body>

<p>
The time is now
<%= [[ns_httptime [ns_time]]] %>.
</p>

</body>
</html>

For a little bit more detail, and to take your first step on a long and winding road, see [[Writing Your First ADP]].
