DHTML effects are added to a web page by inserting Java 'code' into the HTML document as text.

The code usually consists of two separate parts.

One part is placed between the 'head' and the '/head' tags.

The other part is usually placed in the 'body' part of the page where you want the effect to appear.

Dynamic HTML is a Java based method of applying animations and effects to the whole web page.

The headings at the top of this page are just one example. The 'Rollover' buttons below are yet another.

Other effects include:

Drop Down Navigation Box

Click on line above to activate menu

Clicking on the word Snow will open a page with a snowflake effect and novel curtain effect.

Click on the word ZOOM to see what this effect does
 
There are many more effects but there is a limit to how many you can include in any one web page. The Links on the right will take you web site where you can download DHTML effects.
