DHTML

DHTML allows web pages to be more interactive and animated through a combination of technologies. It uses scripting languages to dynamically change HTML elements on a page after it has loaded. This enables effects like animating text and images, embedding tickers that automatically refresh data, and creating interactive forms and menus without reloading the page. The main advantages over other options are centralized reusable code, security through HTTPS, and richer control over displays with smaller file sizes. However, scripting languages also have some disadvantages like limited error handling and more difficult debugging.

What is Dhtml
Dynamic html Just as access is dynamic database environment Can have controls that responds to events Can have centralized code modules Can be written in VB [script]

What is DHTML
Dynamic HTML, or DHTML, is an umbrella term for a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites[1] by using a combination of a static markup language(such as HTML) DHTML allows scripting languages to change variables in a web page's definition language, which in turn affects the look and function of otherwise "static" HTML page content, after the page has been fully loaded and during the viewing process. dynamic characteristic of DHTML is the way it functions while a page is viewed, not in its ability to generate a unique page with each page load.

Internet Explorer DHTML


Developing for two DHTML environments takes three times the development time IE supports ActiveX controls & objects IE supports VB script 80% of the worlds browsing activity is done with IE

Advantages of DHTML over Access


Centralized code for distribution Can be secured by using HTTPS Richer event model; Tighter control over the display Smaller footprint Can monitor usage easier

Disadvantages
Uses script languages which mean
All variables are variants Error handling is limited

Debugging can be awkward

Features
Data binding Behaviors or Scriptlets Support for XML Event Bubbling Flexible object model

Uses and Application


DHTML allows authors to add effects to their pages that are otherwise difficult to achieve. For example, DHTML allows the page author to
1. Animate text and images in their document, independently moving each element from any starting point to any ending point, following a predetermined path or one chosen by the user. Embed a ticker that automatically refreshes its content with the latest news, stock quotes, or other data. Use a form to capture user input, and then process and respond to that data without having to send data back to the server. Include Roll over buttons to drop down menus.
