  • Dynamic Pages: dynamic pages allow animations using style sheets (CSS), Flash, etc.
  • Pages with Client-Server functionality: they allow you to create fully dynamic pages and interact with server applications created in languages such as: PHP, Angular, NodeJs, etc.

 

In the early days of dynamic pages, JavaScript code (not to confuse JavaScript with Java) was “embedded” to generate dynamism.
