David,

Good introduction; I was tempted by the space ship! :-)

Few things you may want to check:

1. I am not sure if a browser-version-dependent definition is the norm. Often, a combination of HTML, CSS and a scripting language (JavaScript, VBScript) is termed DHTML. Also, termed as DOM Level 0. Furthermore, one could have DHTML in Opera, but it isn't in 4th generation.

2. "... DHTML is a collection of features that together, enable your web page to be dynamic." That seems to be a good definition.

3. I wonder why IE5 is not mentioned though it's been around for some time.

4. You may want to check piza.gif (from Tower of Pisa to be pisa.gif?).

5. language="" attribute in HTML script element is deprecated. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#edef-SCRIPT . Use of type="" is recommended.

Loved the article, but it did not address the problem I have, namely, I have created a "fly in" graphic on my webpage with FrontPage2000, however, I cannot view it in Internet Explorer or NNavigator. Other people can see it on their own computers. The website is Newcontours.com
Any hints as to where the problem resides? I called MicroSoft and after a lot hours and passing around still have not resolved it. Thanks! Your adoring fan, Qitara
