Using dynamic HTML we can add animated menus, and other special effects bring your site to life, but that is only the beginning. Dynamic HTML (aka dHTML or DHTML) is one of the most exciting and useful things to happen to the Web in recent memory. It's a concept that has been enabled (to different extents in different browsers, of course) by a number of technologies, including JavaScript, VBScript, the Document Object Model (DOM), layers, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

So, what IS it? Put simply dynamic HTML is HTML that can change even after a page has been loaded into a browser. A paragraph could turn blue when the mouse moves over it, or a header could slide across the screen. Anything that can be done in HTML can be redone after the page loads.

In Summary CSS and plain old HTML is what you change, the DOM (the hierarchy of elements that are present in the browser at any given time) is what makes it changeable, and client-side scripting is what actually changes it. And that's dynamic HTML.

Here at the Double Image A1 Webcentre we keep abreast of all the latest developments and their implications for the web to make sure that all sites designed by us are as up to date as possible with the latest developments.
