Dynamic HTML Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open DHTML file?
The most common problem when using Dynamic HTML Format is that a specific DHTML is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DHTML files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DHTML file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Web browser
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Web browser is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Web browser into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DHTML with Web browser. Below is a list of programs that support the file DHTML.
Programs to open DHTML file
Remember to download programs supporting DHTML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Web browser with DHTML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DHTML file still does not use the Web browser program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DHTML file with the Web browser application.
Step 3. Update Web browser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Web browser program with the Dynamic HTML Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DHTML file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DHTML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DHTML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DHTML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DHTML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DHTML files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DHTML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DHTML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DHTML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DHTML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DHTML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
