Content on web pages used to be static: you pressed enter on a link
and a whole new page showed up. This was easy to deal with by just
reloading the Browse Mode buffer, obtaining the new page information.
These days, it's very easy to change the content on a page without
loading a entirely new page. There are multiple reasons why this is
beneficial. Minimal content changes means keeping your place on a page
without having the entire document reload (this is what makes web
applications possible). In addition, it minimizes the amount of data
that needs to be transferred to the browser, which decreases the amount
of bandwidth needed, and increases the speed of the whole web page
experience.
So when we say that activating a link causes something dynamic to
happen, it means that only a small portion of the page changed without
necessitating an entire page reload. These cases are when Browse Mode
needs to be refreshed to retrieve the new content.

Hi, Aaron. What does it mean when a web page or site is being updated
dynamically? I say this in a joking manner. Some of us out here don't
understand what you mean; I'm one of them, smile.

P.S. Aaron, Don H., anybody, chime in! Thanks.
