using dynamic HTML to move objects

discussion posted about a month ago by bsiwela

there are a couple of ways you can achieve motion (or the appearance of motion) using DHTML. One way is to change the CSS position attribute of HTML elements using mouse over/click events. Another ways would be to simply change the visibility of HTML elements on the page, again using mouse over/click events. CSS allows us to make a lot of changes on the fly. and the effects could be enhanced using Javascripts which can bring in some further logic programming. animated items e.g. GIF animation could be placed in DIVs and their positioning manipulated using CSS as described above.
