DX type lenses are made specifically for Nikons digital SLR cameras. The optics are designed for use on their APS-C digital sensor which is smaller than 35mm film frames.
FX type lenses are "Full Frame" lenses meant to go on 35mm film cameras as well as Nikon's line of full frame digital SLRs like the D700 and D3Xs.
DX lenses cannot be used on full frame cameras without vignetting of the frame (darkening of the corners to varying degrees), even though they have the same mount and can be attached and function properly. This is particularly noticeable with wide angle lenses.
FX lenses will work just fine on DX bodies but the magnification of the lens will need to be multiplied by a factor of 1.5 to give you a true indication of the lenses magnification. (A 50mm FX type lens, on a DX camera, yields a magnification equivalent to a 75mm lens on a regular full frame body.)
