While HTML has come a long way in providing formatting control, it hasn't been very programmable. With the 4.0 releases of the Microsoft and Netscape browsers, though, scripters can finally make changes to their documents on the fly, after they've loaded. While their approaches differ significantly, the tools they provide give developers new power over the structures of their documents.
This book provides an introduction to the brave new world of Microsoft's Dynamic HTML and Netscape's layers, as well as thorough coverage of the event models developers will need to respond to user input. Topics include cascading style sheets, HTML attributes and object properties, layers, ActiveX objects and Java applets, textRanges, multimedia effects, databinding, and using the new tools to create full-featured user interfaces. Scripting examples are in JavaScript, JScript, and VBScript, with a little Java.
