==DHTML vs. DOM scripting==
;Traditional DHTML<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* Uses a scripting language and valid markup ([[HTML]]/[[XHTML]]/[[XML]]/etc.)
* May be browser-specific and require redundant coding for [[cross-browser]] support.
* Is web only
* Was used with non-standardized markup

;DOM scripting<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* Uses a scripting language and valid markup ([[HTML]]/[[XHTML]]/[[XML]]/etc.)
* Can be used with any programming/scripting language
* Aims to be browser independent, is browser independent among standards-compliant browsers
* Is web only
* May degrade gracefully
