Cross-Browser Dynamic HTML Resources

Creating a Tabbed Index with DHTML
by Shelley Powers.
|
This is a 3-part tutorial in how to use DHTML to create a tabbed index
card stack for the 4th generation browsers from Microsoft and Netscape.
- Cross-Browser (CB) Objects
and a simple test case using the objects;
using CB objects for one index card application which forces all the
content to be preloaded, including all of the index "card" contents; a
second index card application using a LAYER element for Netscape
Navigator and an IFRAME element for Microsoft Internet Explorer, which
loads content for each index card, as the tab for the card is selected.
- Creating an Interactive Index Card Stack with DHTML
A demonstration of how to use JavaScript to create cross-browser
objects to handle the differences in Dynamic HTML (DHTML) between
Netscape Navigator 4.x and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x.
This article uses these objects to create an
index card stack
with pre-loaded information.
- Creating a "load on demand" Web Page
The last of this three part series on using cross-browser objects to create layered
content concludes with an application that uses Netscape's and Microsoft's load on
demand content capability. Using the "load" method for Netscape's LAYER element,
and the "src" attribute with an IFRAME element within IE, separate Web pages are
loaded into the same Web page "inset". The article extends the cross-browser objects
to handle these new functions, as well as adding clipping capability.

The Dynamic HTML Zone

The basics are covered in
articles, tutorials, resources, a discussion group, and how to use
Shockwave with DHTML.
Microsoft and Netscape have different definitions of Dynamic HTML,
and creating such pages can be challenging. This site describes
those differences, and techniques you can use
to get your content to display successfully.
Further, there are resources to help add Dynamic HTML to a website.
A listing of other resources which include reference guides, more
articles, demos, tutorials, and information on Netscape Communicator
4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.O is also provided.
Today, Shockwave participates as a full-fledged
element of Dynamic HTML, and runs across
older and newer browsers seamlessly.
If you are interested in incorporating DHTML and Shockwave together,
there is an entire section devoted to accomplishing this.
It's all in their Shockwave with DHTML area.

Document Object Model

W3C has received several submissions from members
companies on the way in which the object model of HTML documents should
be exposed to scripts.
These submissions do not propose any new HTML tags or style sheet
technology. The W3C DOM WG is working hard to make sure interoperable
and scripting-language neutral solutions are agreed upon.
