Dynamic HTML
Dynamic HTML allows modification of attrributes of any element on
a HTML page, either in response to some event such as a mouse click, or
on some time schedule or cycle.
A key part of DHTML is the Document Object Model, an implementation
of the idea that a Web page is made up of many elements or objects,
each with multiple attributes. Programming languages such as JavaScript
and Java can specifically address and modify any of the attributes.
Unfortunately, Netscape and Microsoft have somewhat different
implementations of the DOM, requiring care in designing your DHTML if
you want it to be accessible to all.
Example

<h4 onmouseover="this.style.color='blue';"
onmouseout="this.style.color='black';">
Blue Text On MouseOver
</h4>
Yellow Background on MouseOver
<h4 onmouseover=
"this.style.backgroundColor='yellow';"
onmouseout=
"this.style.backgroundColor='white';">
