Synopsis
With the release of version 4, Internet Explorer has developed from being a browser to being a complete web application development platform. This work sets out to cover all the major areas of programmability. It starts with 5 chapters on Dynamic HTML, including coverage of Cascading Style Sheets, the Browser Object Model and Scripting. It then moves on to devote 4 chapters to Data Binding, giving examples using ADC and RDS. The next section covers a mixture of advanced programming techniques - the new multimedia effects that one can achieve, the new components that can be downloaded and used - NetShow, Chat and Agent. It also includes a chapter on Scriptlets, the newest of IE4s technologies, which enables web developers to reuse their code. The final section of the book deals with Channels, Webcasting and the Active Desktop, and leads into a comprehensive reference section.
