Dynamic content in static html page
Today we encountered a problem where we have to put a dynamic content on a static html page, an error page, served by a simple web-server (without any server side code). The usual way to do this is using a server-side code, like php but here we are allowed to use only a static html page for many reasons. The solution we got is to use hash in the url to pass the dynamic content and use client side javascript to render the dynamic content.
Example:
URL: http://test.com/403.html#123
Client side java script:
window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById(‘errorcode’).innerHtml=document.location.hash;
}
You can use client side templating technology like dust.js to render more complex content.
