Question

How do active web pages work? Describe with a small example?

Answer 1

Answer:

web page is a document available on world wide web. Web Pages are stored on web server and can be viewed using a web browser.

A web page can cotain huge information including text, graphics, audio, video and hyper links. These hyper links are the link to other web pages.

An active web page is a page where the browser performs the logic instead of the server. So for example when you've got a page where you're showing share prices, then you want it to update e.g. every 5 seconds. A solution would be to use AJAX with JavaScript. In contrast to PHP, your browser is able to execute JavaScript, so it is happening without reloading the page. So with an active page, everything is happening inside your browser without the need to reload the page every time you want new information.
