Abakada ~ Back to Basics

This chapter aims to help you learn how you can enhance your Web pages with Dynamic HTML, or DHTML. It delves generally on the key concepts of the document object model, and is organized into the following references:

The samples and tutorials provided in these references are based on the current Document Object Model ( DOM ) Level 2, and reflect the most recent W3C recommendations on their accepted usage and trends.

This chapter assumes you have a good working knowledge of HyperText Markup Language ( HTML ), Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ), and basic scripting. If not, please refer to the relevant sections.

This chapter does not attempt to cover the entire specifications of the DOM, but hopefully provides more than an adequate start for anyone who intends to add dynamic features to documents for the World Wide Web.
