AOLserver Dynamic Pages (ADPs) -- When to Use ADPs

### When to Use ADPs

ADPs are ideal in situations where you want to generate all or part of a specific page dynamically. You can re-use code by storing Tcl scripts in Tcl libraries and invoking them from within multiple ADPs. You can also include files and parse other ADPs from within your ADPs.

Here are some examples of applications you can use ADPs for:

- Returning HTML conditionally (see page 14 and page 15)

- Retrieving information from a database to use in a page (see page 16)

- Inserting information from a form into a database (see page 18)
