METHOD OF PROVIDING ONE OF A PLURALITY OF WEB PAGES MAPPED TO A SINGLE UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL) BASED ON EVALUATION OF A CONDITON

A content author generates multiple sets of web pages and associated conditions which map to a specified uniform resource locator (URL). The web page sets, associated conditions, and a state information database are installed on a server system. A state setting device, which may be the content author's personal computer, sets the current state of the state information database associated with the web page sets within the server system. Upon receipt of a request for access to a selected web page identified by the URL, the server system evaluates the conditions based on the associated state to determine which one of the web page sets to return in response to a user's request. The state setting device updates the state, thereby dynamically affecting web page set selection, based on factors internal or external to the server system.
