Technologies

There is nothing dynamic in DHTML but enclosing technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, DOM and the static markup language it becomes dynamic. Hence the technologies in DHTML includes

JavaScript: It is also called Jscript, or ECMAScript and it is the most common language used today for client-side scripting. JavaScript comes with virtually every browser. For example, an onload event could execute a JavaScript function to query the browser’s cookies collection to determine whether the user is a first-time visitor to the page.

CSS: It stands for Cascading Style Sheet and is used for the presentation part of the web page. The look & feel of the page completely depends on CSS. In DHTML CSS rules can be modified at both the document and the element level using JavaScript with event handlers, they can add a significant amount of dynamism with very little code.

DOM: It stands for Dynamic Object Model and but many of the browser does not support the DOM functionality. It defines the object and its properties. It is a standard way of accessing and manipulating the static content. The Document Object Model is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows program and scripts to dynamically access the content and update it.
