If you make a div tag ( a website division for those who don't know what div is ) move on the screen then you have a DHTML? Am I right or not?
If anyone know something about DHTML, please let me know  . Thanks! |
DHTML doesn't actually have anything to do with Doctypes or HTML, really. It stands for Dynamic HTML, and it's a proprietary implementation of JavaScript/ECMAScript that Microsoft tried to push in Internet Explorer 4 and 5. It's not really used anymore, so I was pretty surprised to see it listed as a forum topic.
There's no reason at all that I'm aware to learn DHTML at this point. Stick to (x)HTML and JavaScript and CSS and you're fine.
