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.

A static document is a document that does not change through some automated program interaction.
