Chapter 17. Timelines

In Chapter 14, we examined the behaviors used to manipulate layers. Timelines also allow us to manipulate layers (and images) over time. Timelines are a Dreamweaver convenience used to generate dynamic HTML (DHTML), as the combination of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is often known. Timelines depend heavily on layers and therefore require Version 4.0+ browsers, and some features work only in Internet Explorer. However, over 95 percent of web site visitors use 4.0+ browsers, and most of those use IE4+ browsers.
