DHTML (Dynamic Hyper Text Mark-up
Language), refers to technologies
that allow documents to be changed after their initial display,
without server access, through user interaction and client-side
scripting. Page elements can be displayed selectively, then
modified, moved or replaced. This ability to move and replace
objects allows for the animation of text and graphics. In turn,
selective display and replacement can be used for database record
retrieval. Personal home pages as well as complex business
applications can make use of the technology. Pages look and feel
like native operating system applications, and all without straining
bandwidth and server links. Currently, there are two versions of
DHTML, Netscape's and Microsoft's. Due to this split, some elements
that work with Netscape Navigator may not work with Microsoft
Internet Explorer and vice versa. (Click
