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
 
== 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.
 
Here's a quote from the article:
 
"[...] DHTML scripts often tended to not work well between various web browsers. Newer techniques, such as unobtrusive JavaScript coding (DOM Scripting), [...are better]"
 
This is just wrong. There is no distinction between the two. Could someone please tell me how you could look at a piece of javascript and tell if its DHTML or not? You can't!
