DOM is Document Object Model. It is used in things such as javascript to help editing pages. this helps with keeping code and design separate.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1...-one-html.html

DHTML is in a sense a slang term used for describing html used in conjunction with css and javascript

Agree with Peter.

DHTML stands for Dynamic HTML, which was born many years ago (I was using it at least in 1998). Firstly by the hand of Netscape and their propetary "layers" tag, which made able to simulate the dynamic content flow in a page through the showing/hiding of layers via javascript coding. Also, the concept of "CSS positioning" helped to break the linear flow disposition of the HTML elements (basically, they appeared in the page secuentially, as they were coded). CSS positioning allowed to move content (html blocks defined as layers through the <div..> tag) to any given coordinate of the "screen".

DOM is a standard which every current web-browser should comply. It defines a kind of object-oriented structure that have their properties and methods, all accesible via Javascript programming.

As pointed out DHTM in itself is not a language. If you learn CSS HTML and javascript you have learned DHTML.

If you wish to make static pages (ie pages that stay the same regardless) then yes learn HTML and CSS, I would not say javascript is a must but it can help.

If you want to make dynamic pages then you still need to learn the above as any page meant for browsers essentially must have those components. Once you have learned them you can then move onto PHP or some other type of server side programming.
