Hi Ken,

I shall start reproducing something I've read at http://www.w3schools.com : 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 does not exist but also does. Yah, sounds ? but it's true. There's no official definition for this term, but we've got vendors that use the term to refer a set of technologies used in combination to produce dinamic, rich-content, animated web pages.

>1 - a language unto itself, invented by Microsoft that is an extension to HTML and allows you to tie into Javascript, etc. Those arguing this point claim that claim that DHTML doesn't need no stinkin' scripting language to do cool stuff - that it "is" it's own language, that MS is the founder of it, etc.

>2 - a generic term that means a combination of the DOM, HTML, and a sripting language such as JavaScript. People on this side say that DHTML is just a general term meaning a combination of technologies.

>TIA!
