You have probably heard about them, the Crossbrowser DHTML API's or libraries, there are several of them on the net which you can use for free. They all have one thing in common; they are made to make it simpler for the coder to do DHTML related things. The basics of a library or API is that it should take care of browser differences so that you can concentrate on the "real" coding. 

This tutorial will take you trough the basics and at the end show you a library that you can use if you like.

Dynamic data using the DOM and Remote Scripting
Written 02/20/2002 by Thomas Brattli. Last updated 02/21/2002. Read 78177 times. Rating: 7.39 (941 votes)

I learned this technique a couple of weeks back from dotvoid (thanks to Dan or was it Sergi that pointed it out for me). So as you understand this is pretty new for me as well, but I thought I'd write a little tutorial about it because I found it really interesting and have used it a couple of times since then. This tutorial is for the little more advanced users and you should have some understanding of the DOM to read it.

The basic idea is to dynamically load content in a standard supporting way without using the old iframe buffer trick. In this tutorial I will show a couple of examples on how to use this.

Please note that is ONLY supported by Explorer 6 and the newest Mozilla versions. Opera doesn't yet support creating elements on the fly so this will NOT work with Opera.
