This article should merged with DHTML (or both should be removed). There is NO difference between the two. Dynamic HTML is not a technology, it's a marketing term invented by Microsoft. It described that the javascript in their latest browser had better access to the document than in their previous browser. All browsers have been progressively getting better at this from release to release.

More than that, the "DOM Scripting vs. DHTML" section is a load of bullshit. It seems to me the reason this article exist is to market some books, and boost the page rank of the random links at the bottom.

I added a delete request to this now. Here's a quote from the intro to the article: "In truth, there is no practical difference between the two (DHTML and DOM scripting), as any software development paradigm has the capacity to create both 'good' and 'bad' code simultaneously." The rest of the article is about the difference between DHTML and DOM scripting. The article even contradicts itself, in addition to being bad. -Lars (BTW, this and the above comment are both from me)

What is "DOM scripting"?? A style of programming? An architecture for use DHTML?

There are NO DEFINITION at the article: reader can not decide if, p. ex., jQuery have or is a case of DOM scripting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.121.201.141 (talk) 19:54, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
