Chapter 8: Introduction to Scripting and the Document Object Model
Many terrific Websites have been creating using nothing more than
HTML
and
CSS. But what if you want more--what if the capabilities of plain
HTML are simply not enough to create the Web pages you want? Then
you will probably turn to scripting and the Document Object Model
(
DOM) to give your Web pages more interactivity and pizzazz. When
used together, scripting and the DOM are sometimes referred to as
dynamic
HTML or
DHTML. I can't cover all of scripting and the
DOM in
a single chapter, but I can give you a good introduction and let you
explore more on your own if you want to.
