DHTML refers to the client-side manipulation of the Web Browswer DOM (Document Object Model), which includes HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), via JavaScript scripting.

There are IDEs, such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver. As an experienced coder, you won't need them.

What DHTML does NOT do, is provide any server-side functionality. For that you should look into (in your case) JSP (Java Server Pages), or PHP.

Server-side functionality includes, primarily, interaction with a database, and robust validation, file i/o, communication with other platforms, etc.
