By contrast, a [[dynamic web page]] is a broader concept, covering any web page generated differently for each user, load occurrence, or specific variable values. This includes pages created by client-side scripting, and ones created by [[server-side scripting]] (such as [[PHP]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[JavaServer Pages|JSP]] or [[ASP.NET]]) where the web server generates content before sending it to the client.

DHTML is differentiatedpredecessor fromof [[Ajax (programming)|Ajax]] by the fact that aand DHTML pagepages isare still request/reload-based. WithUnder DHTML model, there may not be any interaction between the client and server after the page is loaded; all processing happens in JavaScript on the client side. By contrast, an Ajax page usesextends features of DHTML to allow page to initiate anetwork requestrequests (or 'subrequest') to the server even after page load to perform additional actions. For example, if there are multiple tabs on a page, pure DHTML approach would load the contents of all tabs and then dynamically display only the one that is active, while AJAX could load each tab only when it is really needed.
