Dynamic web page

[1] In server-side scripting, parameters determine how the assembly of every new web page proceeds, and including the setting up of more client-side processing.

A dynamic web page is then reloaded by the user or by a computer program to change some variable content.

Client-side scripting languages like JavaScript or ActionScript, used for Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and Flash technologies respectively, are frequently used to orchestrate media types (sound, animations, changing text, etc.)

These server-side languages typically use the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to produce dynamic web pages.

Between 1995 and 1996, multiple dynamic web products were introduced to the market, including Coldfusion, WebObjects, PHP, and Active Server Pages.

MediaWiki, the content management system that powers Wikipedia, is an example for an originally server-side dynamic web page, interacted with through form submissions and URL parameters.

Throughout time, progressively enhancing extensions such as the visual editor have also added elements that are dynamic on the client side, while the original dynamic server-side elements such as the classic edit form remain available to be fallen back on (graceful degradation) in case of error or incompatibility.

These server-side languages often use the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to produce dynamic web pages.

Two notable exceptions are ASP.NET, and JSP, which reuse CGI concepts in their APIs but actually dispatch all web requests into a shared virtual machine.

Client-side scripting is changing interface behaviors within a specific web page in response to input device actions, or at specified timing events.

It is a web application development technique for dynamically interchanging content, and it sends requests to the server for data in order to do so.
