How to dynamically change content of web page?












1















I don't know if this is a PHP or JavaScript code, but what do you call this technique about changing web content? For an instance, the MDC Web demo site. It has an empty content if you view the source, but completely contains all elements if you inspect the page.



Regarding PHP, I think it is done with a PHP code in MDC Web's case, but how exactly? Is this a common technique? I wanna know this method coz it's useful in some cases where there's actually no need to reload the page, but able to change the content and URL.

    PHP is server-side only. Dynamic client-side changes is called DOM manipulation, done through Javascript.

  • @CertainPerformance If that's the case, AJAX can be used right? But how about the URL? The URL changes along with the content.

This is called Single Page Applications (a.k.a SPA).




A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or web site that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page rather than loading entire new pages from a server. This approach avoids interruption of the user experience between successive pages, making the application behave more like a desktop application more.
