DHTML is too
new, still evolving... (as of Fall'98)
Requires
Netscape 4.x or MSIE 4.x browsers
Many differences between Netscape and MSIE
- They will
adhere to all W3C recommendations
- DOM spec, XML,
XSL and other W3C standards will clear the smoke...
- Microsoft's vs.
Netscape's DHTML implementations
- Disagreement
on meaning of "dynamic"
- Netscape: Scripts can drive style sheets for some page elements, but styles can not be changed after the page is loaded!
- MSIE: Scripts
can access properties of all page elements and change them
at any time and as often as needed.
- Run-time document
manipulation issues
- Event model (bubbling)
