Product Description

Product Description
This work shows readers how to use Dynamic HTML to create Web pages with more interactivity, with step-by-step instructions to build dynamic Web content. There is coverage of both Netscape's and Microsoft's versions, similarities and differences are revealed. Real-world examples show how to implement the major features of Dynamic HTML, such as Dynamic Elements, Hi-Res images and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Both Microsoft and Netscape are treating Dynamic HTML as the next major step forward in Web page design. Web authors face significant challenges when making their pages interactive. Using non-dynamic technology, in order for visual or audio changes to occur on a page, the page would have to be reloaded with the required code for that change. Dynamic HTML allows for changes on a page to occur in text, sound or graphics, without an extra round trip to the server - the code changes right on the same page. Touted as giving Web authors "total creative control for a rich user experience", Dynamic HTML provides a comprehensive object and event model which enables designers to do the following: dynamic content - text or graphics can be added, deleted or modified on the fly without having to refresh the page; dynamic styles - any Cascading Style Sheets attribute, including colour and font, can be updated by a simple mouse click or pass; absolute positioning - elements can be precisely positioned using their x- and y-co-ordinates and z-order (useful for animated effects); multimedia effects - built-in controls can be applied to HTML for a broad range of effects, including filters, transitions, audio and vector graphics; and data binding - data-driven application front-ends can be built that present, manipulate (sort, filter), and update data on the client without numerous trips to the server.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very poorly presented and muddled book., 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book does not explain DHTML in any degree of depth, neither is there enough information on JavaScript to be of any value. I do not understand the author's choice of material. Very poor. If I had paid money for it I would be looking for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very weak, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The problem with this book is its lack of point. The author explains how he is designing a site for some company he tags as NWU. Why he doesn't just give his readers the address for the site atleast to give them an idea of DHTML in action I don't know? He has absolutely NO examples that are worth trying and the whole first couple of chapters are donated to the history of the web! I didn't spend my money to read about HTML's existence. I bought the book because I want to know DHTML. The capper for me was when I tried to download some source code from a site recomended at the back of the book. The site doesn't exist!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money, this title is crap., 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Sorry, I have to give 1 star because is the minimum. I bought this piece of crap looking for a starter book for DHTML... a waste of money, I don't know what this dudess was thinking at the time of writting, has no examples, is not clear, has lot of errors, tries to follow an entire project, but surely is only on her mind, there's no source code to follow...
