What<br /> does that mean?<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> A static web page is a file made up of HTML commands that tells a web client<br /> (web browser) how to display some content. A dynamic web page is HTML that is<br /> generated by some programming process. This HTML is then sent to the web browser<br /> and displayed in the same way a static web page would be. To the web browser the<br /> page it receives is just an HTML document. The difference occurs at the web<br /> server. <br /> <br /> Some processes that generate HTML are PHP, Perl cgi scripts, Active X, and Server<br /> Side Includes. These processes may be built into the web server like PHP, or<br /> Mod-Perl, or they may be external programs that are invoked, like most CGI<br /> scripts.<br /> <br /> Dynamic pages are most often associated with form processes. For example a form<br /> may ask you to check your product interests and the subsequent page displayed<br /> will use that information to query a database of products showing only the ones<br /> you&#039;ve indicated an interest in.<br /> <br /> ====Related KB articles====<br /> [[KB 221]] What is TCP/IP?<br /> <br /> [[KB 222]] What are servers?</div>
