Dynamic Content Techniques - Building a Table of Contents

Short Description
Create a table of contents using string-based and object-based Dynamic Content techniques.

Long Description

We explore the IE4 string-based way of manipulating HTML and the IE5 object-based approach to create a table of contents. The IE5 approach is based on IE's initial implementation of the W3C DOM recommendation.

Our table of contents code runs in all versions of Internet Explorer 4.0 (including the Macintosh).

I would have expected http://www.siteexperts.com/tips/contents/ts15/page1.asp to be the target of this page's predecessor link, and that the discussion on this page would be an aside to the primary information. other than that, a very informative article - thanks

Erik,

I have a follow-up article that should be ready this week. In the upcoming article I provide a completely standards-based (gecko and IE5 compatible) table of contents generator. The goal in this current article was to build the TOC as simply as possible (which resulted in a mix of W3C methods and IE methods). In the next article I will compare the approach used in this article to a completely standards-based approach.

Another reason I chose this approach for this article is even if I wrote the generation of the TOC to be standards compliant, there is no standard yet for adding the interactivity and element scrolling so we would still have only been half-way there.

-Scott
