Going Interactive

Now that we've touched on the basics, let's take a look at some more advanced design concepts. Up to this point the design concepts have focused on building pages that simply displayed information. It is possible to make web pages interactive in such a way that they are more useful and even more fun. Frames provide a way to display two or more web documents in a single browser windows. Forms provide a way to collect information that can be passed back to the web server for processing. JavaScript is a powerful scripting language that lets you add a variety of capabilities to your web pages, one of the most common being mouseover function that has the browser swap images used as links when you roll the mouse over them.

If some of the material is beyond you right now, that's all right. The important thing is to be aware of the possibilities, so that later on when you have more experience, you'll be ready to jump right in.
