RE: Green screen - it's time is over

Brad,

Yes, I agree.  What you say is true.  My understanding of DHTML is that it's
a basically a conceptual model, that uses existing HTML techniques.  I think
of it as a separate technology, for a couple reasons.

It has it's own W3C spec, and is often /presented/ as a different
technology.

It's similar to RPG.  People tend to think of two kinds of RPG:
RPGIII-style and ILE-style.  It's all RPG though, but thought of as two
different techniques.  Same difference with DHTML.
