What is the Difference Between Static Pages and Dynamic Pages?
Dynamic pages are pages that are created on the fly by the webserver using a specific software installed (ColdFusion, PHP, Active Server pages, Java Server Pages, WebObjects, LASSO, etc). The Server parses the code using a template html page, which can also contain content from a database or other place (XML or more). A static page is any html or other file (.pdf, .swf .php, .asp, .cfm) not served out of content from a database.
