Dynamic HTML

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is a broad term that refers to a number of technologies that enable interactive Web pages. Progress Dynamics uses DHTML to create the objects (buttons, menus, toolbars, and so on) that comprise a full-featured user interface for applications running in a Web browser.

As shown in Figure 2–2, DHTML in Progress Dynamics employs an HTML page that links to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS files) for formatting, and JavaScript files for implementing objects. These are static files located in install-dir\tty\dynamics\ry\dhtml\. They are available to the UI Manager when it creates dynamic Web pages in response to client requests. See Chapter 5, "Customizing with Dynamic HTML," for more information about the HTML pages, CSS files, and JavaScript files.
