DHTML stands for Dynamic HTML. The first thing that we need to clear about 

DHTML is that it is neither a language like HTML, JavaScript etc. nor a web standard.

 It is just a combination of HTML, JavaScript and CSS. It just uses these languages

Communicator 4.0, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and 5.0 and is entirely a

 "client-side" technology. 

Features of DHTML:
