Script technology application ABC

The purpose of this article is to give some guidance on a large number of script-based technical names and acronyms. These names have been changed last year. Similarly, some technologies have evolved from the initial stage to more mature and improved, while others have changed slightly, but they still use their original names (so it seems a bit confusing now ). However, after reading this article, everything will be clear. Sort by order. See the following:

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) DHTML Scriptlets XML Scriptlets IE 5.0 Behaviors HTML Components (HTC)

These names have a large range, but they are the names of typical script technologies that can be obtained from Microsoft.

Dynamic HTML (Dynamic HTML)

Because Dynamic HTML (Dynamic HTML) appears in Internet Explorer 4.0 for the first time, it is the first of all Microsoft Script technologies. Dynamic HTML (Dynamic HTML) can also be classified as "A" (representing Active), that is, A large number of engines, programming tools, and technologies currently used.

Every web page is an organic combination of tags, paragraphs, forms, form elements, frames, and tables in Windows. When this happens, the Document Object Model) have a rough understanding. The World Wide Web proxy (W3C) provides a detailed description of the content levels and access paths on web pages.

DHTML is a name, which is usually used to identify a method, that is, IE4, IE5 and Navigator4, which changes a pattern and uses it to determine the pattern of the current webpage. The key is that these modes use the page code to support dynamic and script-driven web page changes. This opens up a new path for Web developers who write dynamic and interactive applications.

Editor's note: When W3C releases DOM rules, it hopes that the fifth version of the two major browsers (IE and Nav) can execute their DHTML according to the rules. in this way, although Nav5 is not suitable for DOM and IE5, it is easier for web administrators to create Web pages compatible with both browsers, instead of using different methods to execute DHTML in IE4/Nav4 browsers.

Dynamic HTML script component (DHTML Scriptlets)

DHTML supports organizing different types of content on a web page to achieve many special effects. With this code, you can reuse the content and functions on multiple pages. In this process, we usually use "cut" and "stick? But sometimes it does not need to do too much repetitive work.

For example, paste SPANs & IMGs or TABLEs & anchors to create a brand new object, which has preset functions and user-defined parameters, perhaps a TABLE and the Remote Data Service ActiveX control element can enable the object to display records in multiple ways. It is not a new tag, nor a new binary ActiveX control, but an HTML-based visual component: a DHTML Scriptlet.

A dhtml Scriptlet is an HTML page placed on another HTML home page. The home page has a subject and a set of script code that can operate independently. It also displays some performance, methods, and content. A dhtml Scriptlet is placed through the OBJECT tag and provided by a simple HTML file. If there is a user interface, such objects can display some special functions. But it can also become a simple and inconspicuous commercial object.

Components originally called scripts have lost many of their original values and are no longer favored. However, to create a combination of HTML control, you can only use it. If you need a special visual HTML component that combines multiple tags, DHTML Scriptlets is the only choice except the binary ActiveX control. If you do not consider the user interface or want to improve the performance of a single element, you should use other script-based tools.

XML

XML is the abbreviation of eXtensible Markup Language. It can provide a new development scope for Web applications. XML is becoming a widely used programming language for data exchange between Web applications. It is worth noting that its structure is similar to HTML but more rigorous. The importance of XML is that it is a programming language dedicated to creating a script class, which is a real COM object composed of script code.

XML Scriptlets

Currently, XML Scriptlets is a confusing problem, and their initial name Server Scriptlets is even more confusing. There is a great leap from Server to XML, but the original name is easier to understand:

1. They work like servers.
