the WEB-6
Dynamic pages: the content and behavior of a html page can be generated “on the fly” by:
- programs running into the server offering the page: CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programs
- programs embedded in the page itself: PHP (Personal Home Page)
- programs running into the client (Netscape, IE, …) written in Java or JavaScript
Cookies: this is a short string a server give to a client in order to have a specific behavior, for example to remember the preferred language
