Now You Know JavaScript, What's Next?

The next step is to learn about the HTML DOM and DHTML.

If you want to learn about server-side scripting, the next step is to learn ASP.

HTML DOM

The HTML DOM defines a standard way for accessing and manipulating HTML documents.

The HTML DOM is platform and language independent and can be used by any programming language like Java, JavaScript, and VBScript.

If you want to learn more about the DOM, please visit our HTML DOM tutorial.

DHTML

DHTML is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. DHTML is used to create dynamic and interactive Web sites.

W3C once said: "Dynamic HTML is a term used by some vendors to describe the combination of HTML, style sheets and scripts that allows documents to be animated."

If you want to learn more about DHTML, please visit our DHTML tutorial.

ASP

While scripts in an HTML file are executed on the client (in the browser), scripts in an ASP file are executed on the server.

With ASP you can dynamically edit, change or add any content of a Web page, respond to data submitted from HTML forms, access any data or databases and return the results to a browser, customize a Web page to make it more useful for individual users.

Since ASP files are returned as plain HTML, they can be viewed in any browser.
