HTML5, I'd say. I'd be careful with the term DHTML. Definitions of DHTML: Microsoft: "Introduction to Dynamic HTML Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is a set of innovative features originally introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. By enabling authors to dynamically change the rendering and content of a Web page as the user interacts with it, DHTML enables authors to create visually compelling Web sites without the overhead of server-side programs or complicated sets of controls to achieve special effects."
Wikipedia: "Dynamic HTML, or DHTML, is an umbrella term for a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites[1] by using a combination of a static markup language (such as HTML), a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), a presentation definition language (such as CSS), and the Document Object Model." http://www.webstandards.org/action/dstf/definitions/ "DHTML An outdated scripting technique that is mainly characterized by the changes it makes to the style properties of certain elements, and by the use of the browser-specific DOMs document.layers and document.all." Check the comments on this blog post: http://www.codestore.net/store.nsf/unid/BLOG-20100409-0432 "Is something written purely in DHTML classed as RIA? I don't see why not, I guess, but it's just not what I personally would class as RIA. To me RIAs are what step up to the mark when DHTML can't deliver. With the advent of HTML 5 this might all change, but, for now I think there's a gap between what DHTML can do and RIAs can." "Hmmm... there's definitely a gap (always-narrowing, however) between what DHTML can offer versus Flex/Silverlight/etc." As an Adobe expert said: OL DHTML is the closest you can get to Flash without using Flash, but many people don't know that fact. To me, DHTML sounds old, ugly and out-dated.
