It is a component that is dynamically inserted into a page at runtime, rather than explicitly defined prior to runtime (e.g., components in .page files).
Example: you have an order form that has a pre-defined set of fields (name, address, etc.). Those would be your static components. But, perhaps you need a slightly different form for each state or country that you do business in. Each country requires different information....maybe a tax id for Spain or a social security number for the US, or additional credit information for Tunisia. You can configure those data fields in an XML file or db so that they are dynamically (on-the-fly) generated and inserted into the page/form based on the country or the user.

Would you also provide me with a good example of one? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
