Dynamic Hypertext Mark-up Language, a
collective term for the combination of advanced html features, style
sheets and scripting. Used together, these elements allow the contents of a
webpage to change after the page has loaded, without the need for complex
programming or reference back to the web server. Often seen examples include
text paragraphs or images changing colour and shape when the mouse is moved
over them, although it can be used for more sophisticated animation or
drag-and-drop effects. Dhtml is built around the w3c's Document
Object Model (dom), in which each element of a web page, such as a heading,
paragraph or image, is viewed as an object that can be controlled
using javascript or vbscript. |
