dynamic factors such as the time of day, what pages the user has
looked at previously, and specific user input. The Web server calls
an application program to produce the "on-the-fly" page that is to
be returned. There are several techniques for "on-the-fly" page
development, including the Server-side include, the use of cookie ,
and Active Server Page.

promotional information about one or more categories of products or
services. The marketer sending opt-in e-mail may remind the
recipient that they have previously indicated they were interested
in receiving such e-mail and that this is not spam.
