Dynamic HTML Developer Central

Dynamic HTML is a set of technologies incorporated into Netscape Communicator which provides the next major step forward in the evolution of HTML. Static content is transformed into interactive applications. Dynamic HTML is based on technologies developed in conjunction with the World Wide Web Consortium, including HTML, style sheets (CSS1 and HTML positioning), and JavaScript. Together, these technologies support richer, more dynamic content.

Dynamic HTML Technologies

  • Cascading Style Sheets-Give developers precise control over content layout and format, including fonts and spacing.

  • Document Object Model (DOM)-Exposes the various HTML elements on a page and their formatting and positioning properties to programming languages such as JavaScript.

  • Positioning and Layering of Content-Allows developers to specify x, y, and z coordinates on the page via style sheets, the LAYER tag, and programming languages such as JavaScript.

  • Dynamic Fonts-Allows the browser to load and cache fonts as needed to display a particular page. The font is downloaded with the web page in the same way that image files are downloaded.

  • Canvas Mode-Creates a "chromeless" window, effectively taking over the entire screen (like a slide show). Allows for full-screen views of HTML pages.
