Dynamic HTML
(language, World-Wide Web)The term DHTML is often also taken to include the use of"style" information to give finer control of HTML layout. Thestyle information can be supplied as Cascading Style Sheets(CSS) or as "style" attributes (which can be manipulated byJavaScript). Layers are often also used with DHTML.
Both the JavaScript and style data can be included in the HTMLfile or in a separate file referred to from the HTML. Someweb browsers allow other languages (e.g. VBScript or Perl)to be used instead of JavaScript but this is less common.
DHTML can be viewed in Internet Explorer 4+, Firefox andNetscape Communicator 4+ but, as usual, Microsoft disagreeon how DHTML should be implemented. The Document Object Model Group of the World Wide Web Consortium is developingstandards for DHTML.
