From the Author

Dynamic HTML - a tale of two companies
Originally Alex and myself envisaged one reference guide that covered Dynamic HTML as laid down by the forthcoming HTML 4.0 standard. Of course Microsoft and Netscape both published differing, yet broadly similar outlines of what they intended Dynamic HTML to encompass. In fact Dynamic HTML turned about to be a fairly arbitrary term that referred to everything from the animating of text and images without requiring a page refresh to the absolute positioning of elements. So it came as no surprise that Microsoft and Netscape's versions of Dynamic HTML differed widely. However, you probably didn't expect them to be so different as to be incompatible with one another.

Before HTML was something you could read in any browser, IE3 or Netscape 2 etc. Unfortunately this isn't true in Dynamic HTML anymore. While it's possible to create pages that will function on both browsers, the event handling, the dynamic positioning of elements and other new features introduced necessitate two different approaches and indeed two different books. The book under this ISBN number now deals exclusively with Dynamic HTML as found in Internet Explorer 4, while the book under the number ISBN 1-861001-193 deals with the Netscape Communicator 4 version of Dynamic HTML. Of course we hope that for the sake of a cross-platform web that the two languages will eventually converge, and with the final acceptance of HTML 4.0 as a standard this should happen. But until then, you'll need a book specially tailored for your browsers interpretation of Dynamic HTML - and this is what we provide for you.
