Dynamic HTML

[DBZgirl88]

[COLOR="#004A6F"]How come dynamic html codes don't work on myotaku? Alot of other coding works but not dhtml. I've even tried adding head and body tags to my posts but they still don't work. Many myOtaku users are interested in changing scroll bar colors on their myOtaku pages, and the code for that is actually a dhtml code. Some advanced users use style sheets to over come this problem, and many users ask us how we did it. I'd like to simple tell them to insert the dhtml code for it, but that wont work so we have to explain the whole concept of stylesheets[/color] :confused:

I don't see any need for DHTML. For scrollbars, just use CSS. It's extremely easy. Here's a useful link:

Is there anything else you want to do with DHTML?

It's kind of a balancing act for us...making myOtaku customizable enough for more advanced users and simple enough for people with no web experience.

[COLOR="#004A6F"]Well, actually, I myself wanted to try some of the funkier codes, like making it snow on the page, or mouse trailors. The scrollbar code was just an example. I don't have a problem using stylesheets, it's just for other users with less html experience. Another user, [URL=http://www.myotaku.com/LazeChibi]LazeChibi[/URL], has an html help website for myOtaku users, called [URL=http://www.freewebs.com/lazechibi]Simplicity[/URL]. I contacted her and told her people want to know how to change scrollbar colors and suggested we could put up some style sheet templates.[/color]

Ugh, good thing it doesn't work. Those sorts of things are [i]horribly[/i] annoying.

DHTML gives people the option to do so many useless, annoying things... it has some good uses as well, don't get me wrong, I've used some in my time. It has its uses. But mostly it's just "bells and whistles" type things that are more annoying than anything.
