DHTML stands for Dynamic HTML.
DHTML is not a standard defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). DHTML is a "marketing term" - used by Netscape and Microsoft to describe the new technologies the 4.x generation browsers would support.
DHTML is a combination of technologies used to create dynamic Web sites.
To most people DHTML means a combination of HTML 4.0, Style Sheets and JavaScript.
W3C once said: "Dynamic HTML is a term used by some vendors to describe the combination of HTML, style sheets and scripts that allows documents to be animated."
DHTML Technologies
With DHTML a Web developer can control how to display and position HTML elements in a browser window.
HTML 4.0
With HTML 4.0 all formatting can be moved out of the HTML document and into a separate style sheet. Because HTML 4.0 separates the presentation of the document from its structure, we have total control of presentation layout without messing up the document content.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
With CSS we have a style and layout model for HTML documents.
CSS was a breakthrough in Web design because it allowed developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. As a Web developer you can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want. To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in the Web are updated automatically.
The Document Object Model (DOM)
DOM stands for the Document Object Model.
The HTML DOM is the Document Object Model for HTML.
The HTML DOM defines a standard set of objects for HTML, and a standard way to access and manipulate HTML objects.
"The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document".
JavaScript
Allows you to write code to control all HTML elements.
