In addition to impactful graphics and page design, we encourage the following examples of ways to make your pages more visually dynamic. Java -uses scripts to cause events which would not normally happen with straight html. Examples of java-script usages are mouseovers . Mouseovers occur when you move your cursor over a link or picture and the link or picture changes such as in the navigation bar at the left. Another example of java-scripting would be cookies .
Cookies gather information about visitors and store the information for later use.
Some visitors react badly to cookies feeling they are an invasion of privacy and surf the net with java disabled from their browser. Also, some browsers are simply not equipped with java. An example of dhtml usage would be upon entering a page, the title of the page appears to fly onto the screen from the left. Image Maps -take an image and create links wherever and in just about any shape and as many links as you need within the image. Animations can be a useful way to make a page more dynamic or to make a certain idea or area of the page more inviting and impactful since it redirects the viewers' eye to the activity.
