Netscape "DHTML" and IE "DHTML" are entirely different beasts. You will have an absolute dog of a time making pages that work across many different browsers, platforms, etc. Your best hope is to use a templating system, one template for each browser, and let a stub script choose the appropriate template after it detects the browser and then fill it from the database. Yes, to achieve a 100% website functionality success rate, you will be writing different web pages for every browser. Refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and http://developer.netscape.com/ Opinion: If there are people on the other end of this website you care about, or are an audience of people from whom you wish to take money (this is the web, isn't it?) then STAY AWAY FROM THIS EVIL, EVIL stuff. It's unnecessary fluff and you'll end up redesigning it when the complaints start rolling in.
