The term DHTML (Dynamic HTML) is a marketing term which denotes the use
of a client-side scripting language (normally JavaScript/ECMAScript) to
manipulate HTML and CSS properties.
Use of DHTML is compatible with the open standards developed by W3C, and
so its use is OK from a standards point of view.
As others have pointed out:
o Different browsers will have implemented support for JavaScript
slightly differently.
o Some users may switch off JavaScript (for security reasons) or use
browsers which don't support JavaScript(digital TV, PDA,etc.)
o There will be accessibility issues to consider.
