Web pages containing any kind of active scripting or with any kind of
programming on the backend are what I'm referring to. You're right; if it's
exclusively HTML, it's just text with markup. But add Javascript, Flash, or
generate the code dynamically using a scripting or programming language... then
programming is involved :) (with Flash, I'd go further and say you have to have
some programming logic involved to consider it having been programmed, but you
get the idea)

You bet FP could be used to recreate amazon.com? Just FP, with no programming
on the backend? I'll take that bet any day.

I was responding to the implication that it's ok to let the site just sit there
and never do anything with it.
