Well, that's about all for now. There's still a lot more to dynamic HTML lurking
under the surface, but what you've seen here should help you get started and
hopefully will give you some insight as to how to conditionalize around the current browsers' many
inconsistencies. If you've been stepping through the tutorial and still want more information, both Microsoft
and Netscape have extensive dHTML
documentation on their sites.
So how do you feel about dynamic HTML? Love it? Hate it? Do you love what
it can do but are
frustrated with the differences in implementations? The thing to realize is
that all these i
nconsistencies are being addressed by browser companies and the World Wide
Web Consortium, s
o there will be a spec for how to do these things. Therefore, both Netscape
Navigator and In
ternet Explorer will be able to do the same action in the same way. And any
browser such as
Opera that decides to implement
dynamic HTML will
have a specification to look toward.
Finally, here is your term-paper assignment:
Make a dynamic HTML page, either with the Webmonkey Legos or with your own
material. Make it move, make it visible and hidden, make it respond to user
events, and then post it in Threads for all to see.
Happy coding and designing.
