Contents on a dynamic web page like text, form fields, images can create navigation interactivity based on different situations or contexts. Basically, there are two techniques which can produce interactivity:
• You can use client-side scripting to alter interface behaviors in a particular web page which can react to mouse or keyboard actions or at an indicated timing event. Through this, dynamic behavior happens within the presentation.
• You can use server-side scripting to alter the given page source between pages, changing the sequence or reload of the web content or web pages supplied to the browser. Server responses may be based on conditions such as data in a posted HTML form, parameters found in the URL, the kind of browser used, the database or server state or the passage of time.

Static web sites have web pages saved on the server where users can view them. There are three main categories of software which are used in editing static web sites: a) Text editors like Notepad or TextEdit where HTML can be altered directly using the editor program; b) WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver (known before as Macromedia Dreamweaver) which can edit the web site using a GUI interface and can automatically generate the underlying HTML, and; c) Template-based editors like iWeb and Rapidweaver wherein users can easily make and upload web sites to a web server even without any background in using HTML since they can always choose templates from the available palette and modify using pictures and text.
