static dynamic html tags

Static Web page
A static web page is a web page that is delivered to
the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web
pages which are generated by a web application.
Consequently a static web page displays the same
information for all users, from all contexts, subject to
modern capabilities of a web server to negotiate
content-type or language of the document and the
server is configured to do so.

Advantages
Quick to develop
Cheap to develop
Cheap to host

Disadvantages
 Any personalization or interactivity has to run client-
side (ie. in the browser), which is restricting.
Maintaining large numbers of static pages as files can
be impractical without automated tools.
Requires web development expertise to update site
Site not as useful for the user
Content can get stagnant

Dynamic web page
A dynamic web page is a kind of web page that has
been prepared with fresh information (content and/or
layout), for each individual viewing.
It is not static because
-> it changes with the time (e.g. news content),
->the user (e.g. preferences in a login session),
->the user interaction (e.g. web page game),
->the context (e.g. parametric customization)

Advantages of dynamic websites
Much more functional website
Much easier to update
New content brings people back to the site
Can work as a system to allow staff or users to
collaborate

Disadvantages
Slower / more expensive to develop
Hosting costs a little more
 Search engines work by creating indexes of published
HTML web pages that were, initially, "static". With the
advent of dynamic web pages, often created from a private
database, the content is less visible. Unless this content is
duplicated in some way (for example, as a series of extra
static pages on the same site), a search may not find the
information it is looking for. It is unreasonable to expect
generalized web search engines to be able to access
complex database structures, some of which in any case
may be secure

SPECIAL FEATURES

THE HTML TAG
<HTML> TAG:
Tags are contained in < > symbols. In most cases
you start with the beginning tag, put in the word or
words that will be affected by this tag, and at the end
of the string of word(s), you place a closing tag.
HTML tag is usually placed on the first line of
your document. At the end of your document you
should close with the </html> tag.
The <html> tag signals the point where
text should start being interpreted as HTML code.

THE HEAD TAG
Just like the header of a memo, the head of an
HTML document contains special information, like
its title. The head of a document is demarcated by
<head> and </head> respectively.
<html>
<head>
<title>My First HTML Document</title>
</head>

TITLES
A title tag allows you to specify a Document Title
in your browser window. When people make hotlists,
this title is what they see in their list after they add your
document. The format is:
Remember, the title usually doesn't appear in the
document itself, but in a title box or bar at the top of
the window.

THE BODY TAGLike you might expect, the body tags <body> and
</body> define the beginning and end of the bulk of
your document. All your text, images, and links will be
in the body of the document.
The body should start after the head. A typical
page might begin like
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

HEADERS
There are up to six levels of headers that can be
used in your document, h1 through h6. Header 1 is the
largest header and they get progressively smaller
through header 6. Below are each of the six headers and
how they usually appear in relation to one another.
<h1>This is a header 1 tag</h1>
This is a header 1 tag
Headers, as you notice, not only vary in size, they
are also bold and have a blank line inserted before and
after them.

PARAGRAPHS
In HTML, a paragraph tag <p> should be put at the end
of every paragraph of "normal" text (normal being defined as
not already having a tag associated with it).
<p> causes a line break and adds a trailing blank line
<br> causes a line break with no trailing blank line
As a convenience to yourself and others who might have
to edit your HTML documents, it's a very good idea to put
two or three blank lines between paragraphs to facilitate
editing.

PREFORMATTED TEXTThe preformatted text tag allows you to include text in
your document that normally remains in a fixed-width font
and retains the spaces, lines, and tabs of your source
document. In other words, it leaves your text as it appears
initially or just as you typed it in. Most clients collapse
multiple spaces into one space, even tabs are collapsed to
one space. The only way to circumvent this is to use the
preformatted tag. Visually, preformatted text looks like a
courier font.
<pre>this is
an example
of a preformatted
text tag</pre>

BOLDFACE AND ITALICS
When using these tags, you usually cannot
(and probably should not) have text that is both
boldface and italics; the last tag encountered is
usually the tag that is displayed. For example, if
you had a boldface tag followed immediately by
an italic tag, the tagged word would appear in
italics.

LISTS
There is an easy way in HTML to have
numbered, unnumbered, and definition lists. In
addition, you can nest lists within lists.
When using lists, you have no control over
the amount of space between the bullet or list
number, HTML automatically does this for you.
Neither (as yet) do you have control over what
type of bullet will be used as each browser is
different.

UNNUMBERED LISTS
Unnumbered lists are started with the <ul> tag, followed by
the actual list items, which are marked with the <li> tag. The
list is ended with the ending tag </ul>.
For example, here is an unnumbered list with three items:
 <ul>
 <li> list item 1
 </ul>

NUMBERED LISTS
Here is the same list using a numbered list format:
 <ol>
 </ol>

DEFINITION LISTS
Definition lists allow you to indent without
necessarily having to use bullets.
 <dl>
 <dt> This is a term
 <dd> This is a definition
 <dd> And yet another definition
 <dt> Another term
 <dd> Another definition
 </dl>

NESTED LISTS
Finally, here is a nested list within an unnumbered list (we could
just have easily had a nested list within a numbered list).
<ul>
<li> list item 1<li> nested item 1
<ul><li> nested item 2
 <li> nested item 1 </ul>
 <li> nested item 2 </ul>
 <ul>
<li> list item 2
 <ul>
 <li> nested item 1
 <li> nested item 2
 </ul>
<li> list item 3
 </ul>

CENTER
You can center text, images, and headings with
the center tag:
<center>This is a centered sentence</center>
This is a centered sentence.
The center tag automatically inserts a line
break after the closing center tag.

AddressesThe <address> tag normally appears at the end of a
document and is used most frequently to mark
information on contacting the author or institution
that has supplied this information.

</address>

COMMENTS
It is possible to include comments in a source
HTML document that do not appear when seen
through a browser. This is most useful for giving
warnings and special instructions to future editors of
your document.
Comments take the form:
<!-----This comment will not appear in the browser-----
>

Table tag
The <table> tag defines an HTML table.
An HTML table consists of the <table> element
and one or more <tr>, <th>, and <td> elements.
The <tr> element defines a table row, the <th>
element defines a table header, and the <td>
element defines a table cell.

Table tag
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Month</th>
<th>Savings</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>January</td>
<td>$100</td>
</tr>
</table>
