Introduction to Dynamic HTML: Conclusion
August 24, 1998
As with any introduction, we hope that much of what's been written
serves as inspiration for your own ideas.
Coding impressive DHTML is not necessarily obscure or difficult,
but it does benefit from imagination and cleverness.
No doubt you'll find plenty of pre-built DHTML effects in your Web
travels, and these, too, are useful sources
of inspiration and programming techniques. Always approach an
interesting effect with a "How'd they do that?"
mindset, rather than simply adopting what they did.
Because DHTML is a moving target, many of the limitations written
about in this introduction may not hold true
in a few months time. The promise of a standardized DOM still hangs
over the horizon, and it may be that the fifth
generations of MSIE and Netscape Navigator share a much more
similar DHTML implementation. Fingers crossed.
