most of the dhtml i find on websites is incomprehensible babble. it's
easier to learn to roll your own than it is to try to figure out how
some wysiwyg did something. visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for a
bunch of scripts that may not be useful as they are but will give you an
idea how things work when you screw around with them. although i don't
have it you might also get peachpit press's dhtml quickstart just to get
oriented. once you get the touch for doing it yourself you'll find it's
easier to roll your own and they taste better.
