Dedicated Server - In the Web-hosting business, a dedicated server is a rented service; a user rents the server, the software, and an Internet connection from the hosting company that maintains it. On a network, a dedicated server is a single computer that is "set aside" for serving the needs of the network, usually to manage communications and printer resources. Not all servers are dedicated; it is possible for a computer to act as a server and to perform other functions, as well.
DHTML - Dynamic HTML is an implementation of JavaScript written to allow high level client-side browser manipulation.
DOM - A DOM, or Document Object Model, is a tree representation of the structure of a Web document that may be used via scripts to access and manipulate any element within that page.
Domain Name Server - A Domain Name Server is a distributed network of servers where host names are translated to their IP addresses. DNS servers are used on the Internet and some private networks.
Dynamic Content - Information, on a Web site or Web page that changes often, usually daily or each time a user reloads or returns to the page. It is also content that is structured based on user input. For example, when you search with keywords on a search engine, the results you get are on a "dynamic" page, based on the words you typed into a form on the previous page. Dynamic Web sites are usually driven by Web application environments, such as active server pages or CFML, and the content is taken from a database each time a page request is made.
Dynamic Typed - Dynamic typed programming languages are those languages in which variables must necessarily be defined before they are used. This implies that dynamic typed languages do not require the explicit declaration of the variables before they're used.
