Hi there,
I just have a short question. What is the difference between a Dynamic Web Page and an Interactive Web Page? I am building a new site for my sister-in-law for a small business that she owns.Â
Thanks!
Difference between Dynamic and Interactive Web Pages?
Hi Brian,
A dynamic web page is an interactive web page. They do not exist on the server (unlike static web pages) and are created on demand. These dynamic websites use either server side scripting or client side scripting languages (PHP, ASP, JSP) in order to provide customized contents to users and also rich interaction by providing interface for users.
Â
Eg., Google Earth, search engines, eBay, Amazon, Yahoo stores. Response time, load balancing, bandwidth management, security, encryption, overhead are some of the important issues which we need to consider before creating a dynamic website. The server-side latency accounts for 40 percent of the total page delivery time experienced by end users.
Difference between Dynamic and Interactive Web Pages?
An interactive website is a website that uses different sorts of software to create a rich, interactive experience for the users. It is a website that allows its users to interact and communicate with it. One example of an interactive website is a website that displays weather forecasts for a particular region where users can type in their locations and displays the detailed weather report for that region.
An interactive website may contain elements ranging from simple HTML input fields to rich content like maps, games, and other different advanced programming elements such as Flash, Java, or HTML5. A dynamic website, on the other hand, is a website that contains web pages that are generated in real-time. The web pages include web scripting code like ASP and or PHP.
When you access a dynamic page, the code within the page is parsed on the web server and the resulting HTML is sent to the client’s web browser. A server-side dynamic web page is a web page whose construction is controlled or managed by an application server processing server-side scripts.
In server-side scripting, parameters determine how the construction of every new page proceeds as well as the setting up of more client-side processing. A client-side dynamic web page processes the web page using HTML scripting running in the browser as it loads.
