Hi TT,

HTML, in and of itself, is static. I believe you're looking for XHTML, based on XML scripts. XHTML can utilize applications like scripts and applets that rely upon either the HTML page itself.

By mixing in some VBA you can write Macros that create web pages which, are basically still HTML

I prefer JavaScript or PERL. You can write XHTML/JavaScript or XHTML/PERL code that creates "dynamic" web pages.

But a truly dynamic page requires scripts embedded in HTML, using php, or asp.

Hope this helped a little.

is this a school question?

Basically i see a dynamic webpage as one that is created on-the-fly to display a requested batch of information in direct response to the user's choice.

plenty of information on it here:

automated HTML scripts is

I can only think of two possible references:

1) ASP/PHP/etc where your developed page is parsed serverside and then sent back as a reglar http response.

2) Bash/Tsch/Perl/etc script cronjobied on the server that creates flat html source based on predefined parameters.. like the latter sans the parsing, html generation is completely handled at server-determined times rather than session based.

funky chicken: which one?
