Dynamic HTML is a browser specific object model that permits programmers to create Web pages that are dynamic and interactive. You can create Dynamic HTML with any of the following programming languages:

Dynamic HTML removes programmer limitations on access to the Web document. Dynamic HTML in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later empowers developers with the following features:

�	Full access to the document's structure
�	Dynamic style
�	Dynamic contents
�	Instant user response
�	Client/server Web pages
�	Multimedia and animation effects

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 uses the Dynamic HTML object model in Internet Explorer 4.x and later. You can create text animations, cascading style sheets, and collapsible outlines.
