DHTML vs. Flash Browser Hell What You Need to Know Already Welcome to the world of CSS (cascading stylesheets) and DHTML (dynamic HTML) (technically, it s Dynamic HTML without HTML being spelled out)! There s lots of good stuff here that gives you great control over your Web pages, and even your Web site as a whole, which can save you and your users lots of time. Using CSS and DHTML can also be one of the most frustrating things you ve ever done if you don t pay close attention to what you re doing (trust me on this one the stories I could tell ). So, let s go ahead and get started. What Is CSS? CSS stands for cascading stylesheets, but we ll just be calling them stylesheets from now on. For all practical purposes, stylesheets are as much a part of HTML as the <img> and <table> tags. Adding stylesheet information to a page is just a matter of typing in some extra code. There s nothing fancy about it. 1

2 ch01.qxd 6/14/01 10:31 AM Page 2 2 Chapter 1 What Are CSS and DHTML? Placing stylesheet information into a Web page lets you set certain aspects of that HTML page. For example, your stylesheet could say, Make all of the text in this Web page 16 point bold Arial, or There s a layer called banner and it s located at 60 pixels over and 90 pixels down, or even When the <b> tag is used, make that text both bold and italic. CSS is a standard created by the World Wide Web Consortium, the same folks who define exactly what HTML is. There are several versions of CSS (the third version, CSS3, is being worked on right now). The browsers all implement variations of the first two versions, CSS1 and CSS2. You don t need to be concerned about them in this book we ll look at what works without worrying about which version it is. What Can CSS Do? Stylesheets can do three things: 1. Set the font of text on a page 2. Define a layer and position it on the page 3. Modify HTML tags If you decide to use stylesheets to set your page s fonts, you can define different classes of fonts, like headlinetext or footertext or mainbodytext, and use different fonts for all three. This may not sound exciting, but if used properly, this can save you hours and hours that you d otherwise spend using the nasty and decrepit <font> tag. When Is CSS Really Used? Stylesheets are really used only for the first two items above: setting fonts and positioning layers. You can use stylesheets to modify HTML tags, but I (and most other Web developers) haven t found that to be very useful. It tends to confuse more than to facilitate. So, I ll be concentrating mostly on using stylesheets to set fonts and position layers throughout this book. I ll show you how to modify tags, but there won t be a lot of examples that would be like showing you the proper way to ride a bicycle underwater. I ll show you how to do it, but an extended tour wouldn t serve any real purpose. GEEK NOTE: To be fair, there are developers who find modifying HMTL tags to be useful, and they modify vague tags to mean something specific, like the EM or STRONG tags. Experiment to see what you prefer.

3 ch01.qxd 6/14/01 10:31 AM Page 3 What Is DHTML? 3 What Is DHTML? DHTML literally stands for dynamic HTML. However, DHTML really means using JavaScript to manipulate stylesheets; that is, using JavaScript to hide, display, or move layers, or to change the font of some text as a user rolls a mouse over it. That s really it. Here s another way to think of it: You can use JavaScript to manipulate HTML, right? Think about image rollovers and placing text in form fields that s using JavaScript to change what s on the Web page. DHMTL is exactly that: using JavaScript to change what s on a page. If you re changing something that was set in a stylesheet, like layers or fonts, you re suddenly doing DHTML instead of plain ol JavaScript. DHTML is just a marketing term that stands for a certain type of JavaScript usage. If this isn t clear right now, don t worry. It will be. I ll spend the next chapter looking at stylesheets and the rest of the book will look at using JavaScript. What Can DHTML Do? DHTML can do all sorts of really interesting and fun things. You can create little games, sliding pop-up menus, draggable images, interactive quizzes, and the like. Internet Explorer (IE), especially, has all sorts of great extensions that will let you get pretty creative. There s no end to the things you can do. The Limitations of DHTML The only real limitation of DHTML is the wildly different ways JavaScript is treated in the different browsers. This is a big, fat, hairy limitation. For example, I once created a scrolling multiple-line text field in DHTML. It had arrows, a slider bar, everything. It took longer to build that little scrolling thing so that it worked on all browsers and platforms than it took to build the rest of the site (including the back-end database stuff), almost. Building it for one browser and platform wasn t too tough, but once I started looking at the other browsers and platforms, the development time increased tremendously. Needless to say, I gladly dumped it at the next revision of the site it just took too much time. I bring up this story as a potential warning: If you get really fancy with DHTML, you will pay. Development time to make your code work on the various browsers and platforms will take way longer than it should. If you think you re done, look at your page on a Macintosh running IE 4.5.

4 ch01.qxd 6/14/01 10:32 AM Page 4 4 Chapter 1 What Are CSS and DHTML? Everything in this book is fully cross-browser and crossplatform. In fact, I m ignoring everything that s Netscapespecific or IE-specific. As of this writing, Netscape hasn t completely lost the browser war yet, so Netscape users must still be considered. Also, Netscape 6 is less popular than expected, so Netscape 4.x users must still be considered and coded for. When to Use DHTML To be honest, I only use DHTML to make layers appear and disappear, and for simple animation. However, not everyone has such pedestrian ambitions for their DHTML, so you ll find examples that go beyond those few uses in this book. In fact, I expect to see a lot more DHTML on the Web fairly soon, now that almost everyone has Netscape 4.7+ and IE 5.x. All the browser metrics I ve seen indicate that at least 95% of Web surfers have a 4.0+ browser. When you start to code your own DHTML, start small and simple. It s easy to make large promises to a client, and as a brilliant programmer, I m sure you ll deliver on them, but you ll save yourself a lot of heartache and late nights if you build your pages in incremental phases. DHTML vs. Flash Full disclosure: I love Flash. There aren t any browser or platform issues with creating Flash movies. Of course, Flash requires a downloadable plug-in, but that s gradually gaining in popularity as an acceptable thing for Web sites. Flash can do just about everything DHTML can, a lot of things it can t, and the language to control Flash (called ActionScript) is based on JavaScript, so it s pretty easy to learn. SIDE NOTE: I d be nuts if I didn t make a shameless plug right now for my Flash book, Advanced Flash 5 for Web Professionals. It s got everything you need to know about ActionScript. I had a blast writing it, and you might like it too. The decision to use Flash or DHTML rests primarily on your target audience. Are you creating a bitchin cool site for teen girls or a brochureware site for a marketing consultant intended for

5 ch01.qxd 6/14/01 10:32 AM Page 5 What You Need to Know Already 5 corporate CEOs? Higher-up executive types tend to not want to spend valuable time downloading plug-ins, while teens are more likely to. It all comes back to your audience and their typical behavior. Browser Hell Web developers have hoped for years that eventually IE and Netscape would conform to the same standards. However, we now have Netscape 4.x, Netscape 6, and IE each commanding significant market share. These browsers act oddly at times, so keep your expectations low for writing code once and having it work as expected on all browsers. If it does, sacrifice a mouse to the browser Gods; they have been good to you. What You Need to Know Already I mentioned this already in the Introduction, but not everyone reads the full introduction when they buy a book, so I ll repeat it here: You should know some JavaScript before diving into this book. You don t need to be an expert, but you should know how to do image rollovers and how to place some text into a form field. You can get by without knowing those things, but it ll be more of a struggle. SIDE NOTE: Last shameless plug: If you need some JavaScript help, check out Essential JavaScript for Web Professionals by yours truly. Nuff said. Let s get started with some stylesheets!
