Question 7.
What are the differences between HTML and DHTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is the language used for building web pages. It is a markup language consisting of tags which the web browser interprets and then displays on the screen. For example the tag <b> tag tells the browser to display text in bold.

DHTML stands for Dynamic HyperText Markup Language and is a term used to describe the technologies used to make web pages dynamic and interactive. It is a combination of HTML, JavaScript, DOM, and CSS.
