2⟩ Please distinguish between Static vs. Dynamic HTML?

The easiest difference is static HTML once rendered cannot be changed on the other hand dynamic HTML can be changed.

Static web pages cannot have database access but dynamic pages can be connected to database.

Using static HTML no interactions persist between user and server but dynamic HTML has capability to interact with the user.

Static HTML does not require server side coding but dynamic HTML requires server side coding.

4⟩ Do you know which browsers support DHTML and how will non-supporting browsers handle DHTML?

Version of Netscape navigator and Internet Explorer higher than 4.0 or 4.0 supports DHTML in easy way. But as compared to both browsers Internet Explorer 4.0+ supports the DHTML in the best way.

DHTML includes JavaScript to make the page dynamic and regardless of which scripts is written for and the scripts are designed in such a way that it can be compatible with as many numbers of browsers as possible. The most important thing that must be kept in the mind is that we must test the code before running it over the server or making it live. Also we certainly cannot guarantee that all users will use the browser that will support the scripts.

Relative positioning is the same as the current HTML3 layout and is best reserved for situations where you want to be sure that the content will revert to this default inside a document that also uses absolute positioning.

In DHTML absolute positioning means that the object will remain at the same position regardless of the condition of other elements and the size of the browser. In simple languages if an object/image is absolutely positioned (STYLE="position: absolute;"), with an offset of 150 pixels to the right and 250 pixels down from the left-hand corner of the browser screen then it will avail this position what ever the circumstances may be.

13⟩ What is Event Handling?

As explained earlier Events is the beating heart of any JavaScript application. For handling event in DHTML we attach event handler to HTML elements. The event handler waits until a certain event, for instance a click on a link, takes place. When it happens it handles the event by executing some JavaScript code that has been defined by us. After it has executed the code the event handler comes to its initial state and waits for the user to fire any event. Hence to handle events in DHTML we need to register an event handler.

Here, the selector is A, which is called as type selector.

17⟩ Do you know the Working of DHTML?

DHTML as it is combination of HTML as well as JavaScript and it uses the HTML to render the text on the browser. It also uses DOM dynamic Object Model which renders its every element as an Object that can be changed by setting properties and methods. This is done with the help of Scripting. DHTML is part of the general computing trend of late '90s. This is a trend different from structured programming, with a focus on actions and toward object-based programming, where the objects can be compared to nouns in our language.

DHTML allows scripting languages to change variable in a web page's definition language, which in turn affects the look and function of otherwise "static" HTML page content, after the page has been fully loaded and during the viewing process.
