Editing Dynamic HTML (section)

== Structure of a web page ==
{{see also|DOM events}}

Typically a web page using DHTML is set up in the following way:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>DHTML example</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="red">
    <script>
        function init() {
            let myObj = document.getElementById("navigation");
            // ... manipulate myObj
        }
        window.onload = init;
    </script>
    <!--
    Often the code is stored in an external file; this is done
    by linking the file that contains the JavaScript.
    This is helpful when several pages use the same script:
    -->
    <script src="my-javascript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
</syntaxhighlight>
