XA web site in which part of the content presented to the user is dynamically generated by the web server upon demand. Unlike static HTML pages, dynamic pages do not exist as files on the server, but are generated as soon as they are requested. The request may include variables such as user name, date and time, context etc. The server makes use of these variables in order to generate an HTML page customized for them.
