1.1.1 Background of The Study

The document discusses the background and limitations of standard HTML documents, which do not dynamically change until a user initiates an action. Netscape Communications developed special features in their Netscape Navigator browser that allowed HTML content to be dynamically changed. Specifically, Netscape provided two different mechanisms for dynamic documents that are described in the chapter. While some of these dynamic document features have been displaced by browser plug-ins and applets, the technology still has virtues that developers should be aware of.

1.1.1 Background of the study


The standard HTML document model is dynamic. Once
displayed on the internet, a document does not change until the
user initiates some activity like selecting a hyperlink with the
mouse. The developers at Netscape Communications found out
the limitation unacceptable and built in some special features to
their Netscape Navigator browser that let you change HTML
document content dynamically. In fact, they provide for two
different mechanism for dynamic documents, which we describe
in detail in this chapter. Internet Explorer support some of there
mechanism. Which well discuss as well. We should mention that
many of the features of dynamic documents have been
displaced by plug-in browser accessories and in particular
applets. And we believe the technology has virtues you should
be aware of, if not take advantage of it, in your HTML
documents.
