Oldweb: DHTML Lemmings
DHTML means "Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language." The term is little-used now; it later got renamed AJAX, and now is pretty much just how websites are made if they have any interactive aspects. It was originally presented as an alternative to Flash applets, which were threatening to crowd out actual web pages at that time.

New @webdevhistory@twitter.com post: In 1997, Microsoft and Netscape both released versions of Dynamic HTML (DHTML). Perhaps surprisingly, Microsoft's version was far superior. In fact, it directly inspired the W3C's nascent DOM standard (released the following year). https://webdevelopmenthistory.com/1997-the-year-of-dhtml/
