"Dynamic", I think; not "distributed".
- EvanAnderson 3y agoThat's my memory, too. I saw "distributed" and did a double-take.
- gnz11 3y agoYes, "Dynamic" is the term. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_HTML https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_HTML
- gortok 3y agoWas hoping someone would come here and say this, although we're getting to the point where if we don't write it down we won't remember it, and mandela ourselves out of how things actually were.
- moron4hire 3y agoIt's amazing how many people get this wrong while claiming they were big into web development "in the 90s". DHTML was the beginning of the Document Object Model API. It was about changing things on the page through JS and not anything to do with the `alert()` function as the OP claims.
