I too had the joy of looking after a fairly large internet facing Classic ASP system which had code dating back to the late 90's. There were some parts of the codebase that I never ever got around to completely understanding.

Some of these "pages" were up to 2000 lines long and you just wanted rip your eyeballs out any time you needed to go near it.

The results from the database are turned into XML which is then transformed via an XSLT which creates more HTML and then Javascript is used to dynamically add the generated HTML
