About DHTML (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

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 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 dynamically, without having to go back to the server for a new file. Therefore, authors can create interactive Web sites that have fewer pages and users do not have to wait for new pages to download from Web servers. This practice increases the overall performance of the Internet.
