What is DHTML?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

DHTML is the combination of HTML and JavaScript. DHTML is the combination of several built-in browser features in fourth generation browsers that enable a web page to be more dynamic. DHTML is NOT a scripting language (like JavaScript), but merely a browser feature- or enhancement- that gives your browser the ability to be dynamic. I think it's important now to define just what the creators of DHTML meant when they say "dynamic". "Dynamic" is defined as the ability of the browser to alter a web page's look and style after the document has loaded.

There are four primary features of DHTML:
1. Changing the tags and properties
2. Real-time positioning
3. Dynamic fonts (Netscape Communicator)
4. Data binding (Internet Explorer)
