| Summary: |
A website can be static or dynamic. Static websites display the same content to each person who views the site and do not change over time. Dynamic websites, on the other hand, contain information that changes due to numerous possible factors such as who the viewer is, the time of the day and the time zone. A dynamic website can contain client-side scripting or server-side scripting to generate the changing content, or it can use a combination of both scripting types.
Server-side scripting is used to change the supplied page source on the server before the page is sent to the requesting browser, adjusting the sequence or reload of the web pages or web content. Server responses may be determined by such conditions as data in a posted HTML form, parameters in the URL, the type of browser being used, the passage of time, or a database or server state.
Client-side scripting uses scripts running on the requesting browser to provide interactives effects.
As soon as a site starts to uses forms it moves from being static to being dynamic. |
