The opposite of dynamic or "on the fly" Web pages are "static" or "flat" pages and files. These files can only be altered by editing the original HTML file. This method(also referred to as hard coding) means the page has to be manually opened in a HTML or text editor and changed in order for the content on the page to change.

OBS

static web page; flat web page: The Translation Bureau recommends in its revised 2013 Linguistic Recommendation that “web” not be capitalized when it is part of a compound, whether the compound is written as two words or one, with or without a hyphen.

Today, most of the files on your Mac-text, spreadsheets, databases, charts, images-are static. The Macintosh's first revolutionary contribution to personal computing, desktop publishing, brought all these static elements together. The second revolution has been heralded for years but is only now gaining steam. Dynamic time-based files such as sound, animation, and video have been on the Mac for some time.... Multimedia applications provide the ability to combine static and dynamic files-text, graphics, video, animation, and sound-into one file.
