Is DHTML Dead?

September 1997 saw the release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer™ 4, an event which not only changed the face of web development but officially marked the start of the infamous 'Browser Wars'. Shipped with every version of Microsoft Windows™ (beginning with the final beta release of Windows 98), Internet Explorer soon became by far the most popular browser on the web. Version 4 saw the introduction of Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language (DHTML) support, combining aspects of scripting with Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) technology and thus allowing web developers the option of bringing far greater interactivity to their previously static HTML documents.
