I'm new at designing webpages, mostly just personal webpages, nothing too big. The question is: What's the diffrence between HTML, DHTML and SHTML?

Thanks
Daniel

HTML - Hypertext markup language. Is parsable by the browser and directly rendered on screen.

DHTML - Dynamic HTML. HTML that has script code embedded on itself that can be parsed by the client browser if enabled: javascript. Used to make pages that change depending of the client's actions.

SHTML - Server-side-scripted HTML. It has, on the source code, snippets of scripting that are interpreted by Apache and become standard HTML when they get to the client. Useful for printing the current date. for example. Similar to PHP.

To add to that:

DHTML = HTML + Javascript + CSS + DOM

SHTML = Identical to HTML, it's just a way to give files a different extension so you don't have to assign server parsing to all HTML files.
