Elements of Dynamic HTML
Definition:
""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. The
W3C has received several submissions from members companies on the way in which
the object model of HTML documents should be exposed to scripts. These
submissions do not propose any new HTML tags or style sheet technology. The W3C
DOM WG is working hard to make sure interoperable and scripting-language
neutral solutions are agreed upon." - W3C website.
Its Elements are:
- HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
"HTML 4.0 introduced two important things: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and the Document
Object Model (DOM). Creating dynamic HTML documents would not be possible without these
two additions." - w3schools website.
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS):
"With CSS we got a style and layout model for HTML documents. Creating dynamic HTML
documents would not be possible without CSS." - w3schools website.
- Document Object Model (DOM):
"The Document Object Model is a platform- and
language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically
access and update the content, structure and style of documents. The document
can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated
back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here
at W3C and around the web." - W3C website.
- JavaScript:
"With HTML 4.0, CSS and the DOM were made available for scripting. Creating dynamic
HTML documents would not be possible without the ability to change the style, layout and
content of HTML document via scripts." - w3schools website.
