Brad, Yes, I agree. What you say is true. My understanding of DHTML is that it's a basically a conceptual model, that uses existing HTML techniques. I think of it as a separate technology, for a couple reasons. It has it's own W3C spec, and is often /presented/ as a different technology. It's similar to RPG. People tend to think of two kinds of RPG: RPGIII-style and ILE-style. It's all RPG though, but thought of as two different techniques. Same difference with DHTML. jt > -----Original Message----- > From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com > [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Brad Stone > Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:54 PM > To: midrange-l@midrange.com > Subject: Re: Green screen - it's time is over > > > JT. > > Again, as I said before, this is all one which source you > use.
