DHTML eliminates the boring elements of static pages without compromising performance and interactivity. It uses the user’s computer to calculate and make effective the changes so that the site does not have to make use of a distant server to load or even reload a document so that text and data do not have to go on a circuitous route that can consume time before it can carry-out the changes. DHTML are also self-contained so no additional support from applications or controls are needed.

What you see above is an example of animated text.
It is one of the effects that can be achieved by using DHTML scripts on a script. There are also other effects that DHTML can achieve. One is enabling online forms on websites that can instantly respond to data input by user and then process immediately afterwards. Another is it can hide content for a given time. This is used in forum posts and blogs. It can also embed a ticker so that it can automatically refresh contents and other data.

What is DHTML?
DHTML or Dynamic HTML is a set or a collection of innovative features and technologies that is utilized together to create animated and ineteractive web sites. With DHTML, authors are able to change content and rendering of a Web page as users interact with them. Said features were first introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. Good as it may sound, DHTML has some sort of falling-out in the web publishing community as DHTML scripts are a little browser sensitive. Some even do not work on other browsers.

Remember that Watchfire was acquired by IBM early this year? Well, they sure aren�t wasting time as they will now officially release IBM Rational AppScan 7.7. This new improved Web application security tool is based on Watchfire’s AppScan. This product basically identifies, validates and reports on gaps in Web applications. However, the latest version has new features (i.e. Scan Expert and State Inducer) designed to make the product more user-friendly for those who have not much background in application testing. It also includes recorded Web-based training (now that one is useful to me) to instruct users on application security and industry standard compliance.

The US local governments are encouraging residents to help cut on CO2 emissions by using council web services instead. How? Well, the answer is quite logical. Instead of using transportation, whether public or private, residents with internet access to make use of the services offered in the government web sites and therefore saving the planet from �millions of air miles in carbon emissions.�
The Department of Communities and Local Government commissioned environmental specialists Best Foot Forward to conduct an independent study report.
The report states that city councils could save 80,000 kg of CO2 each year or 14,000 tons of CO2 nationally. Not only that, online services turn out to be more cost efficient. Staff time is used wisely and resources and supplies such as paper are also saved.
