Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Cross-Platform Expectations

Before undertaking cross-platform DHTML development, be sure you understand that the features you can exploit in both browsers—regardless of the techniques you use—are limited to comparable feature sets within the realms of style sheets, positionable elements, event models, object models, and downloadable fonts. Dynamic content on a small scale is also a cross-platform possibility, but the instantaneous reflowing of modified content, display filters, and transitions that are available in Internet Explorer 4 have no parallels in Navigator 4.
