'''Dynamic HTML''' or '''DHTML''' designates a technique of creating interactive [[web site]]s by using a combination of the [[static]] [[markup language]] [[HTML]], a [[client-side scripting]] language (such as [[JavaScript]]) and the style definition language [[Cascading Style Sheets]].

It may be used to create small applications in the [[web browser]]: for example to ease navigation, to create interactive forms[[form]]s or to create interactive exercises to use in [[e-learning]]. Besides [[Macromedia Flash]] itand is[[SVG]] are the most often used techniquetechniques for animating [[web pagespage]]s.

To the dismay of some web developers, Dynamic HTML appears difficult to develop and [[debug]], as the different [[web browser]]sbrowsers have varying degrees of support to the aforementioned technologies, and the huge range of screen sizes commonly used by clients means the end look can be fine-tuned only on for a limited number of browser/screen size combinations. However recent browsers (version number 5.0 and up) share a common [[Document Object Model]] which facilitates the use of this technology considerably, if one just writes web pages for these browsers.
