How are HTML, Dynamic HTML, and XML related?
HTML is used in conjunction with CSS to format and present hyperlinked pages. Dynamic HTML, through the DOM, makes all elements in HTML accessible through language-independent scripting and other programming languages, thus dramatically increasing client-side interactivity without additional requests to the server. The page’s object model allows any aspect of its content (including additions, deletions, and movement) to be changed dynamically. By adding XML for structured data, developers have the technologies they need to build the next generation of rich, flexible Web applications. With XML, they can deliver structured data to the desktop and compute on the data with the XML Object Model. Today developers can display XML-based data in a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, or in other applications through scripting. In addition, they can also apply formatting rules to the data without complex scripting using XSLT stylesheets, which essen
