There are the same commands in Javascript and PHP (diffent syntax "." instand of "->"). It's very usefull for AJAX, Webservices,... To start, here is a simple example: http://www.khtml.org/guestbook/ http://www.khtml.org/guestbook/index.phps (a guestbook) > It looked very slick, but had an awful lot of repition of filling in > some DOM field and clicking "do it". That's DOM. There are only low level functions. The good thing is, that you can do really a lot if you know about 10 DOM Methods. And the methods are the same in Javascript !!! > > I don't really need to see that more than a couple times to know I can > fill in those fields and click "do it". > > What I *do* need to know is what they heck to put in those boxes... > bodylist > listbody > bodyList > listBody > I have no idea which of the above 4, if any, is the "right thing" to > put in the box, and doubt that I'd figure it out any time soon... bodylist, body, divElement,... are variable names. You can fill in what you want. The "variables" are Objects. If you click on a variable (on the right side) the object will be highlighted in the Tree. "body" and "div" are tagNames - the names of HTML Elements. Everything with a $ is a variable. > > > There are also some "special" training files.

At the moment the starting point for learning is: http://www.php.net/dom The first thing you need to know is what an "element", "attribute" and "textNode" is. Simple_xml maybe is a little bit simpler then DOM, but DOM you can also use in Javascript, Java, Python, Perl,... for HTML, SVG, MathML,... Together with XSLT it is really powerfull. > > It was definitely very slick though, whatever it was. > Thank you. And thank you for testing and your comment!!!
