Foil 67 DHTML Summary

From Overview of JavaScript II -- From Cookies to Dynamical HTML CPS616 Technologies of the Information Age -- Spring Semester 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox (Tom Scavo)
NPAC DHTML Examples
1 Current DOM and implementations are incomplete and inconsistent but illustrate the basic ideas
  • Layering multiple pages in a single window (remember we use layers to refer to any manipulatable container of HTML)
  • Navigating through pages: we did this by just choosing particular layers but one can loop over layers and/or descend through hierarchy of layers
  • Event Capturing (user event handlers)
  • Setting properties of layers which is done in a way that is based on style sheets.
2 Can expect to be of growing importance and can effectively get started today
  • Based on Goodman's book, we can develop a general library which can illustrate you from browser changes and from the new W3C DOM
  • Future will be even better ........
