Training Course Outline

Software Development Courses   HTML, DHTML and XML Training Courses

Using Dynamic HTML

Course Duration: 3 Days

Course Description:

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is a collection of existing and new technologies, rather than a specific extension to the HTML language.

Using DHTML web designers can create visually appealing web pages with an interactive user interface.  DHTML opens up possibilities not previously available to traditional web pages.

DHTML is a new set of technologies and many standards are still in development.  Writing pages that will display in all browsers poses a major challenge to DHTML developers, and in some cases is not possible.

This course focuses on Microsoft's implementation of DHTML - the version most likely to be adopted as a new standard.  However it shows delegates how to provide cross-platform support for their pages, and how to gracefully degrade DHTML pages for other browsers.

Prerequisites:

Delegates should have a good knowledge of HTML, and some experience of a programming language such as JavaScript, Visual Basic, or another object based language. The duration of the course will vary depending on delegate experience. Those delegates with good HTML skills but little programming experience will need 3 days to complete the course. Delegates with experience of using Javascript for version 3.0 browsers can do the course in 2 days.
