There was definitely something called the DHTL (Dynamic HTML) for some years. And this was not just plain HTML. It was a combination of Javascripts, VBScripts that were used to make the site a little dynamic. Those days, sites were relatively static and the Dynamism was only confined to hoverstate rollowver state and change of images etc. Today, dynamic sites mean a completely different thing and HTML cannot suffice alone here. You must use at least some server scripting and client scripting.
