Content that remains constant or unchanged until manually modified. Most home pages on the Internet are static. Antonym : Dynamic

Stretch:A simple muscle stretch that goes just to the point of gentle tension and is held steadily for several seconds without moving or bouncing

Unchanging. When referring to Web pages, pages that are created once, and served as-is. They may be updated at any time, but are not recreated each time they are requested, as dynamic pages are. When referring to IP addresses, a static IP address is one that is permanently assigned to a particular system, and not re-assigned every time the system is booted.

opposite of dynamic. See quiescence.

Pages that are hard-coded to only display one selection of information. This information can not change based on user input or information drawn from any other source. HTML-based pages without any additional scripting are always static pages. Other web languages such as JavaScript, Java Active Server Pages and XML are used to transform otherwise static pages into dynamic pages.

not in physical motion; "the inertia of an object at rest"

A static document is a document that does not change through some automated program interaction. In other words, a text file can change when a user edits it and an application can parse a static document and manipulate, but a static document has no inherent means to do this of its own accord. See Also: Dynamic

5stAtIk/ adj. at rest; in a state of balance

Replace existing definition with: Means ‘at rest or at equilibrium.’ Can be used as an adjective to indicate the status of air flow. It is the opposite of ‘dynamic.

stretching against muscle and holding as opposed to bouncing.

A value for serialization that specifies that a file must not be backed up or archived if it is being modified during the operation. Tivoli Storage Manager does not retry the operation. See also serialization. Contrast with dynamic, shared dynamic, and shared static.

non-dynamic displays- need to be refreshed manually.

Limited movement or stretch, when referring to a climbing rope. Static ropes are used for rescue, caving and rappelling, but do not stretch enough to absorb the impact of a leader fall when climbing. Opposite of dynamic.

A Kernmantle rope with a limited amount of movement or stretch. It is not designed to take a fall like dynamic rope. Static ropes are used for abseiling, caving and rescue. Accessory cords are also static.

IP If a host offers a static IP, it means that your site will be assigned a unique and unchanging IP address.

At rest; in equilibrium; not in motion. Not dynamic.

Having no motion; being at rest.

A 'static' webpage is in which the HTML code is stored in a boring file on a boring disk and never changes. Some web designers think that dynamic pages are the bees knees and try to use them for everything. Others know better.

This is a fairly literal term and refers to an item that has been programmed to be displayed in a certain fashion and will remain so unless further programming is used to change its format. This term is used mainly in opposition to dynamic which is an item displayed and formatted in real time. Furthermore a dynamic item can be controlled and changed through a CMS and lends a much greater flexibility to a website.

1. When speaking of data, data that is invariant or (in some contexts) changes rarely. 2. In C, memory allocation other than that done with malloc() and related functions. 3. In C, a keyword used for a variety of purposes, some of which are related to sense 2. See also dynamic (see dynamic).

Development Any web creation activity that is characterized by having file (pages or graphics) that are "linked" together. Static sites are often created with the use of an HTML editor. Static web sites do not utilize programming languages, databases or multimedia. Antonym: Dynamic Development)

Generally refers to elements of the Internet or computer programming that are fixed and not capable of action or change. The opposite of static is dynamic. A Web site that is static can only supply information that is written into the HTML and this information will not change unless the change is written into the source code.

Acting by weight not motion, in contrast to dynamic.

As in "static web page." Means that the web page was not created dynamically from a database, but instead previously created and saved as a HTML file. [ edit

Static means unchanging, not moving. In the context of an IP Address, it means that the address stays the same each time that you logon or connect to the Internet. Most static IP addresses are on permanent connections, that stay on the Internet all the time, but some are on home dialup connections. In an IP context, the opposite of dynamic.

An ad that is fixed and not interactive or moving, as opposed to a dynamic or moving image.

acting by weight not motion, as opposed to dynamic.

A copy group serialization value specifying that a file must not be modified during a backup or archive operation. If the file is in use during the first attempt, Tivoli Storage Manager will not back up or archive the file. See serialization. Contrast with dynamic, shared dynamic, and shared static.

Fixed in position; resting; without motion.

1. Electrical discharges in the atmosphere that interfere with radio or television reception. 2. Not moving or progressing. At rest. Inactive. Stationary.

As in "static web page." This is a web page that was not created dynamically on-the-fly from database content, but instead was previously created and saved as a HTML file. Static pages can be altered only by directly changing the HTML source code. See also: Database-Generated, HTML Source, Spider Trap, Stop Character

A fixed non-varying condition, without motion. Atmospheric noise, as in a receiver.

Signal interference caused by electrical disturbances (usually natural).

a crackling or hissing noise cause by electrical interference

concerned with or producing or caused by static electricity; "an electrostatic generator produces high-voltage static electricity"

The tendency of the glass reinforcement to acquire charge during chopping with the result that the chopped fiber clings to equipment, operators and so on, having relatively less or opposite polarity.

Electrical charge that builds up due to friction between two materials.

Electrical discharges experienced when processing plastic films.

Electrical discharges in the atmosphere such as lightning, corona, etc.

The accumulation of negative, or positive electricity on the surface of fibers, or fabrics because of inadequate electrical dissipation during processing.

Any electrical disturbance caused by atmospheric conditions. Interferes with radio com-munications.

Build-up of electric charge when a person walks over a carpet. Occurs with both natural and synthetic fibers, and is effected by humidity.

Electricity generated by friction as paper comes into contact on press with other paper, metal, wood, etc; the result of insufficient moisture in paper. Static causes the sheets to be attracted to each other, causing feeding and jogging problems.

An electrical charge built-up in plastic film.

An electrical charge built up in shrink packaging films that tends to make them adhere to oppositely charge machinery or products. Can also be defined as cling.

In printing presses, an attachment designed to remove the static electricity from the paper to avoid ink set-off and trouble with feeding the paper.

Electrical charges generated when handling materials which cause those materials to cling together. Static charges can jump (earth) to humans or equipment causing shock or fire if solvent is present. With reference to films, static causes them to cling to one another or to other insulating surfaces.

An electric charge generated by film moving across itself (unwinding from the roll ) or any other surface.

Static is certainly also a form of electricity, although one which can only subject you to negligible currents; far too small to operate an air-conditioner or refrigerator for example.

Crackling noise heard on AM radio receivers. Caused by electric storms or electric devices.

Something that is done or known at compile time. As a keyword applied to a local variable it requires that the compiler allocate storage (memory) at an address that will remain fixed to that variable throughout each execution of the program. Note that this is not the case for other local variables, which are assigned storage just for the duration of each execution of the block in which they are defined. Note that there are other uses of static but they are not used in this book.

A modifier to an Attribute to indicate that there's only one copy of the Attribute shared among all instances of the Classifier. A modifier to an Operation to indicate that the Operation stands on its own and doesn't operate on one specific instance of the Classifier.

A class or method declared as static exists without first being instantiated using the keyword new. Main() is a static method. For more information, see Static Classes and Static Class Members.

indicates there is to be exactly one copy of the variable or object named. Even if it's a field in a class, as many objects as are ever instantiated of that class, there will still only be one such field.

A Java keyword used to define a variable as a class variable. Classes maintain one copy of class variables regardless of how many instances exist of that class. static can also be used to define a method as a class method. Class methods are invoked by the class instead of a specific instance, and can only operate on class variables.

Static is a keyword that can be used on an element or method to denote that it is part of the class as a whole rather than just an instance of that class. Any element which is denoted as static is therefore constant over all instances of that class and can also be accessed without first creating an instance of that class. The same goes for static methods.

A keyword used for defining the scope and linkage of variables and functions. For internal variables, the variable has block scope and retains its value between function calls. For external values, the variable has file scope and retains its value within the source file. For class variables, the variable is shared by all objects of the class and retains its value within the entire program.

variable or method is shared between class instances

The static keyword is a modifier applied to method and variable declarations within a class. A static variable is also known as a class variable as opposed to non- static instance variables. While each instance of a class has a full set of its own instance variables, there is only one copy of each static class variable, regardless of the number of instances of the class (perhaps zero) that are created. static variables may be accessed by class name or through an instance. Non- static variables can be accessed only through an instance.

showing little if any change; "a static population"

Load: any load, as on a structure, that does not change in magnitude or position with time.

When the jackpot amount remains the same no matter how many coins are deposited into the machine.

Static refers to an item that does not change or rotate.

Images or text that is non-changing from piece to piece.

May refer to a web site that does not need to be refreshed by the its web server or it can describe a web site that is not moving or changing.

Something that doesn't move or a mob that stands still until provoked. Opposite of roam.
