Am I the only one who found the term DHTML to be one of the most useless initialisms that came from web development?
I remember seeing "DHTML" still being thrown around as late as 2005, but knowing that I could refer to the components of a webpage as "DHTML" never seemed to have any sort of utility. I never cared that I could refer to the markup as being dynamic. Big deal. What scripts and applets could I add to make things move?
Of course now we're still stuck with this "HTML5" canard that won't die because nontechnical people seem to believe it's more advanced than "HTML".
- outsidetheparty 5y agoAnd HTML begat DHTML and DHTML begat XHTML and in woe and SOAP calls HTML5 was born
- DonHopkins 5y agoIt's like "SpaceHTML". In space, they just call it "HTML".
