to follow up on what Scott Luebking said: > I was just wondering if there are any interaction issues > between dynamic HTML and SMIL which needs to be taken in > consideration, Scott There is one big one. This is a unified philosophy of control. DHTML has one idea about how a child object can override or rewrite its parent or ancestor, or cannot, or must may-I the user. SMIL has another idea. This ignores the fact that the ancestor of the SMIL may be HTML and vice versa. This is only going to get worse as dynamic content gets more prevalent. Unifying things is going to take changes to published Recommendations, I fear. In any case, OOA and DOM may be the shortest path to working this out. Al
