Dynamic Web Content Fully Explained by mefeo(m): 10:46pm On Mar 08, 2016
The content and functionality of Web pages have evolved greatly since the first Web page became available on the Internet in November of 1990 (Connolly, 2000). The information that we browse and read has increased in volume, but more importantly the Web has developed to offer us functionality useful for everyday life.

Dynamic Web pages were first introduced in 1995 with the creation of JavaScript

dynamic content

A dynamic web page, unlike a static web page, is a web page that displays different content each time it’s viewed. For example, the page may change with the time of day, the user that accesses the webpage, or the type of user interaction. We have two types of dynamic web pages.

Client-Side Scripting

Web pages that change in response to an action within that web page, such as a mouse or a keyboard action, use client-side scripting.

Client-side scripts generate client-side content. Client-side content is content that’s generated on the user’s computer rather than the server. In these cases, the user’s web browser would download the web page content from the server, process the code that’s embedded in the web page, and then display the updated content to the user.

Scripting languages such as JavaScript and Flash allow a web page to respond to client-side events.

Server-Side Scripting

Web pages that change when a web page is loaded or visited use server-side scripting. Server-side content is content that’s generated when a web page is loaded. For example, login pages, forums, submission forms, and shopping carts, all use server-side scripting since those web pages change according to what is submitted to it.

Scripting languages such as PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, ColdFusion and Perl allow a web page to respond to submission events.

Dynamic Web pages are capable of producing different content for different visitors from the same source code file. The website can display different content based on what operating system or browser the visitor is using, whether she is using a PC or a mobile device, or even the source that referred the visitor. A dynamic Web page is not necessarily better than a static Web page. The two simply serve different purposes.
How To Use Dynamic Pages
http://mefeoacademy.com/what-is-a-dynamic-web-page/
Dynamic pages can serve a variety of purposes. For example, websites run by content management systems CMS, allow a single source code file to load the content of many different possible pages. Content creators use a gateway page to submit the material for new pages into the CMS’ database. The dynamic page can then load the material for any page in the database, based on parameters in the URL with which a visitor requests the page. Dynamic pages are also what let users log into websites to see personalized content.

Since there is a dynamic web page, This leads us to asking the question What is a Static Web Page? see all at http://mefeoacademy.com/what-is-a-static-web-page/
