Is the content dynamic? Or is it static?
For those of you who like me are new to most of this terminology, ED Interactive give provide a straight forward explanation of the difference between the two on their website: www.edinteractive.co.uk/article/?id=4
The www.hotelclub.com website is both dynamic and static content using dynamic technologies to run the hotel search section of the website. The general information pages of the website are presented as static information pages.
Does it use simply XHTML, or does it also use another technology like Adobe Flash, for instance.
As discussed in early posts, Hotel Club is basically a database of hotels and accommodation offers. The search facility is essentially a form linked to a database which has more than likely been built using MySQL and information retrieved using ASP coding.

Looking at the code the site also uses XHTML with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to manage the appearance of the website and Javascript to run the interactive parts of the forms and member sign in etc.
