I noticed that this page needed a rewrite. It's still not a wonderful article, but I clarified a few points. Personally, I think it needs a section on the history of DHTML, some examples, etc. Also, what version of [[Mozilla]] would be listed as a modern web browser? - [[User:Pingveno|Pingveno]] 03:38, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)▼

==Rewrite?==
Calling it "static" markup is misleading, as the whole premise of real DHTML rests on some kind of DOM. The first real DOM was in IE4, and NS4 has a twisted and sick DOM, that however usually managed to accomplish the desired effect. Any version of Mozilla (assuming post NS4) could be called modern, however only past say m9, did it achieve any kind of stability. Maybe I'll add to the article later :) SvendTofte▼

If i remember correctly, the term DHTML , at the time it was coined, usually referred to functionality available by the implementation of layers in Netscape. The term itself was invented, or stolen/adopted by Microsoft though.
The article should have some historical reference; early pioneers were Dan Steinmann, Eric Arvidsson and others(even though me and others played with it before the introduction of any terms). Today there is no relevant distinction between DHTML and AJAX as the 'X' was implemeted in DHTML libraries well before Garrett coined the AJAX buzz word. [[User:Nanowork|Nanowork]] ([[User talk:Nanowork|talk]]) 00:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)== DHTML = Javascript + DOM. ==
This article should merged with DOM scripting. There is NO difference between the two. Dynamic HTML is not a technology, it's a marketing term invented by Microsoft. It described that the javascript in their latest browser had better access to the document than in their previous browser. All browsers have been progressively getting better at this from release to release.

:: Right. DHTML does not equal the DOM. The fact remains, DHTML is at best a super set of HTML, JS, CSS and the DOM. Its an old term, thats fallen out of use mainly because its horribly unspecific. The term is also misleading, as it sounds like a specific technology, which it's not. -Lars <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/80.202.217.56|80.202.217.56]] ([[User talk:80.202.217.56|talk]]) 12:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Netscape was earlier with DHTML support than Internet Explorer. Netscape 4, with DHTML support was released in June 1997 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_(web_browser)#Netscape_Communicator_.28versions_4.0.E2.80.934.8.29 Source]. Internet Explorer with DHTML was released in October 1997 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_4 Source].[[User:Edwinm|Edwinm]] ([[User talk:Edwinm|talk]]) 14:24, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

== Important note ==
Line 50 ⟶ 71:
The "Structure of a web page" section seems a bit unclear; what exactly is it supposed to show? That script tags can be placed in both the head and body, and that external scripts can be used? Those familiar with JavaScript already know this, and those who don't may have difficulty understanding the mostly unannotated code. Also, I question the use of XHTML doctypes on this page's examples. “DHTML” is a rather old term which is probably most often used to describe HTML pages, and besides, the examples are invalid XHTML (they contain inline scripts not enclosed in CDATA sections).

== server-side scripting incorrect ==
"server-side scripting (such as PHP, Perl, JSP or ASP.NET)"
Where it says Perl it really means CGI as the server-side scripting mechanism, and then under CGI virtually any programming language whatsoever can be used.
To just say "Perl" by itself is grossly misleading.
Perhaps it should just say "CGI" (in place of "Perl"), with a link to a WikiPedia page that describes CGI and tells a complete list for which CGI applications have been demonstrated. For the several I demonstrated myself (sh, Perl, Python, Common Lisp, C, C++, Flaming Thunder, Java awk, Fortran 77), see www.rawbw.com/~rem/HelloPlus/hellos.html

:: perhaps it just means perl, whether used through CGI or mod_perl
== Entire concept is obsolete ==
I wonder if it would be OK to rewrite this article to talk about how DHTML is a term no longer used but used to refer to the amazing revolutionary idea of manipulating the DOM via JavaScript in 2006. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/122.172.164.160|122.172.164.160]] ([[User talk:122.172.164.160|talk]]) 17:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
That's a sentence, not a rewrite. It wasn't used in 2006 either, more like 1996.
:'''Agree'''. Since the concept is no longer used (pretty much almost all HTML5 pages are "dynamic" now) and page literally has no third-party sources I propose this page is converted into a redirect to [[HTML5]].

== Delete this article ==
I propose we delete this article since:
:1. This term is not (and probably never was) notable -- there are literally no sources in the article which mention the term;
:2. This article has no sources and reads more like a guide
:3. This term is obsolete, so most likely there will be no new sources which could be used for this article
[[User:Anton.bersh|Anton.bersh]] ([[User talk:Anton.bersh|talk]]) 14:33, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
:Yes, it is not even remotely accurate to how the term was used. DHTML according to Uppsala University is when a compiled binary on the server generates the files dynamically, so that no JavaScript is necessary. DHTML is the technique that banks use today, where you have to load a new page to see updates from the database and send any request input through text in the URL.
