About DHTML (Windows CE 5.0)
MSHTML implements the dynamic HTML (DHTML) object model, which is implemented by MSHTML. Applications can use this object model in one of the following ways:
- By hosting MSHTML directly or indirectly through the WebBrowser control
- By controls and Component Object Model (COM) objects hosted by MSHTML
The DHTML object model gives you direct, programmable access to every HTML element. You can use script to interact with user actions and change the page content dynamically. This event model lets a document react when the user has done something on the page, such as moving the mouse pointer over a particular element, pressing a key, or entering information into a form input. Each event can be linked to a script that tells the browser to modify the content on the fly, without having to go back to the server for a new file. Thus, authors will be able to create interactive Web sites with fewer pages and users do not have to wait for new pages to download from Web servers. This practice increases the speed of their browsing and the performance of the Internet as a whole.
