 |
This is the fourth course in a five part series dedicated to coverage of the Document Object Model. This course will provide the learner with a solid understanding of its importance and practice of its usage. The structure of the DOM is presented in detail along with information on accessing DOM documents and navigating DOM trees and retrieving content. Dynamic transformation on the server and client is covered. The manipulation and display of XML data is covered. The final area of DOM to be covered is the posting of XML data. The creation of an XML packet its sending and processing are covered.
