pages using JavaScript, JScript, and VBScript for multi-media effects



Files within these web pages work fine via Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 Browser with Javascript DHTML effects turned on __ other Browser's JavaScript facilities may need switching into action to show sprite and blend transition

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and Direct Animation Controls
works JavaScripts for 'transition blend' and for 'sprite' ( see right )

Multimedia web programming by Adrian Moore, published by Palgrave Macmillan, ISBN-10: 1-4039-0457-X, page 129

Direct Animation is the component of Microsoft's DirectX API that provides graphics and animation support for web pages. The properties of DirectAnimationControls are easily accessible through scripting, making possible a wide range of animated effects. Although Microsoft no longer officially supports DirectAnimation, it is supported by the latest versions of the OS and browser (Windows XP/Internet Explorer v6) and so remains a viable alternative for generating nimated content on Microsoft browsers.
DirectAnimation is implemented as a colletion of ActiveX Controls. which are built into the Microsoft OS and browser --each Control providing specific animation functionality.

Enable JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language commonly used to make web pages interactive. However, it also makes certain annoying behaviours much easier to perform. To disable JavaScript, deselect this optionpreference. However, note that disabling JavaScript may cause some sites to not work properly. For more fine-grained control over what JavaScript can and cannot do, click Advanced....

Java
A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A single Java program can run on many different kinds of computers, thus avoiding the need for programmers to create a separate version of each program for each kind of computer. After Java is installed, Firefox can automatically download and run Java programs (also called applets).

JavaScript
A scripting language commonly used to construct web pages. Programmers use JavaScript to make web pages more interactive; JavaScript is often used to dynamically validate forms and select buttons. JavaScript can be used with Java, but it is technically a separate language. Java is not required for JavaScript to work correctly.

Multimedia
DirectAnimation is a set of multimedia controls and scripting methods that animate Web pages and provide integration with Dynamic HTML. DirectAnimation has comprehensive support for media types such as 2-D vector graphics, images and sprite, 3-D geometry, video, and sound.

The DirectAnimation controls
provide access to many of the DirectAnimation scripting functions and libraries. These controls allow you to deliver impressive vector graphics, image, and animation content over the Web with little code and short download times.

Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 takes CSS technology a step further, providing the ability to dynamically change any HTML attribute, at any time, on any element. Using simple JavaScript, JScript, or VBScript (Visual Basic® Scripting Edition), the attributes for any HTML element can be modified in response to any document or user event, and the page will automatically reflow without reloading the page from the server. This means that, for example, the STYLE element can be changed to change an element's inline CSS style, or any other HTML attribute (such as the SRC attribute on an IMG element)

Dynamic Styles HTML
is a set of innovative features in Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0. By enabling authors to dynamically change the rendering and content of a document, Dynamic HTML gives authors the ability to create visually outstanding HTML documents that interact with the user without the burden of relying on server-side programs or complicated sets of HTML pages to achieve special effects.



for an example of one sort of JavaScript see ______
picture of the day best at Full Screen Veiw.
The process is adapted from Javascript effects as in 'Tip of the day' example below

applications notes


animated images
above appear depending on Browser facilities

If some of the 'effects' do not appear to be showing, then check Browser's Settings for facilities to display Javascript
'sprite' (sprite.Play)
'blend transition'
(filters.blendTrans.Play)
Script (function Load)
effects for 'picture of the day' and VBScript (function Load) for 'clocks'.




SOUNDS CREDITS are referenced in several of these pages by way of Microsoft WINDOWS/MEDIA,
as are the several background sounds in spaced-out end-page and also with VBScript for date and time as for example in spaced-out-clock with musical notes
as Audio Files from within MEDIA Folder
and as VCTRN_01.MID is a File from within Pub60Cor Folder within Clipart Folder, within Microsoft Office Folder, within Program Files





To see how any Web page was coded, right-click in the page, and then click View Source
Microsoft® Internet Explorer Browser 'TIP of the day facility'
click here for Next Tip below


If no Tips or more than one Tip is displayed please check Browser Settings, if such as 'Firefox' as for View, then Page Style as Basic Style, for starters and then seek to obtain full range of JavaScript facilities that may be possible.


These web-pages were Source code written in Notepad for Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 Browser via Microsoft® Windows'98 and all the mult-media effects show up just fine.
