DHTML
This section of the site deals with DHTML, a combination of Cascading Style Sheets, Java script and the Document Object Model.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
CSS is a wonderful tool, or at least would be if browsers were consistant in their support. I find it an endless source of frustration the browser inconsitancies which just makes our lives harder.
Javascript
Although I am reasonably proficient in Javascript, it still surprises me what can be achieved. I find amazing the functionality of some of the open source libraries which are available. Special mention should be made of prototype which I have used in the past and is an excellent example of well written javascript.
Ajax
Ajax is the new buzz word in web development, standing from Asyncronous Javascript and xml. It relies heavily on the xmlhttprequest object for reloading parts of a web page without reloading the whole page.
Browser Compatability
All the items referenced in this section have been tested with the following browsers:
Firefox 2.x On Windows and Linux.
Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 on Windows (obviously!)
Safari 3 (beta) for Windows
