Re: Desperately I need the specifics!

Thank you Frank, I know you're a pillar in our environment, but really:=20
what do you mean when you say they are compliant 100% with dom1?
Instance:
Ok, an istance:
NN4: innerWidth
IE4/(IE5 too): document.body.clientWidth

Now question is:
IE5/NN6: ???

What is the dom 1 then: innerWidth or body.clientWidth?
Apparently they have completely different doms, so now what NN6 and IE5=20
would use: both clientWidth or both innerWidth?
Also the w3c.org website cannot be really helpful: I have no doubt you can=
=20
orientate yourself on that site, but I'm used to things like Danny Goodman,=
=20
Jeff Rouyer,  Jeffrey Friedl: I mean, people who explain and not just post=
=20
codez :) I always found the w3c.org webiste like the last resource to=20
resort to when you want to know how to implement something (ok, my=20
ignorance I agree!!).
The new dom shared by IE5 and NN6 is still a mistery! We don't have one=20
single book. Ok, I'm not unexperienced, but neither I am so experienced to=
=20
find the right path at the w3c.org website when they say things like:
org/w3c/dom/Node3.java:
package org.w3c.dom;


public interface Node3 {
     public String getBaseURI();


     public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_PRECEDING=3D 1;
     public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_FOLLOWING=3D 2;
     public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_SAME=3D 3;
     public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_UNORDERED=3D 4;

     public int compareDocumentOrder(Node other)
                                     throws DOMException;


     public static final int TREE_POSITION_PRECEDING=3D 1;
     public static final int TREE_POSITION_FOLLOWING=3D 2;
     public static final int TREE_POSITION_ANCESTOR=3D 3;

I mean, they find it explicative, I find it just code. Also this whole=20
matter of the nodes,... is there something for normal humas with javaScript=
=20
and html and "old" dhtml and perl background where they explain to us what=
=20
these getElementById and getElementByTagName are?
They really look like the phoenix: everybody knows it exists, nobody knows=
=20
where it is.
Thank you very much in any case! I'm hungry for knowledge, but this new dom=
=20
is like looking for the holy Graal!
