What is a Dynamic Web Page?
If you surf around the Internet today, you'll see that thereare lots of static web pages out there. What do we mean by a static web page? Essentially, it's a page whosecontent consists of some HTML that was typed directly into a text editor andsaved as an .htm or .htmlfile. Thus, the author of the page has already completely determined the exactcontent of the page, in HTML, at some time before any user visits the page.
Static web pages are often quite easy to spot; sometimes youcan pick them out by just looking at the content of the page. The content (i.e.text, images, hyperlinks, etc) and appearance of a static web page is alwaysthe same – regardless of who visits the page, or when they visit,or how they arrive at the page, or any other factors.
For example, suppose we create a page called Welcome.htm for our website, by writing some simpleHTML like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>A WelcomeMessage</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Welcome</H1>
Welcome to our humble website. Please feel free toview our
<A HREF="contents.htm">list ofcontents</A>.
<BR><BR>
If you have any difficulties, you can
<AHREF="mailto:webmaster@wrox.com">send email to thewebmaster</A>.
</BODY>
</HTML>
| Whenever any client comes to our site to view this page, it will look like this. The content of the page was determined before the request was made – at the time the webmaster saved the .htm file to disk.
