DHTML Important Points

DHTML is a combination of technologies used to create dynamic and interactive Web
sites.
HTML - For creating text and image links and other page elements.
CSS - Style Sheets for further formatting of text and html, plus other added features such as
positioning and layering content.
JavaScript - The programming language that allows you to accesses and dynamically control
the individual properties of both HTML and Style Sheets

With DHT ML you can create:

 Animation
 Pop-up menus
 Inclusion of Web page content from external data sources
 Elements that can be dragged and dropped within the Web page

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and
formatting of a document written in a markup language. It is a way to provide style to HTML.
Whereas the HTML is the meaning or content, the style sheet is the presentation of that
document.
The advantages of using CSS are:
❖ It controls layout of many documents from one single style sheet.
❖ It has more precise control of layout.
❖ It applies different layouts to different media-types.
❖ It has numerous advanced and sophisticated techniques to be applied on web pages.

Methods of applying CSS to an HTML document

In-line (the attribute style)
Internal (the tag style)
External (link to a style sheet)
