You also need to know of the other tools that are at your disposal, specifically what objects are included with the browser, how to access them, and what properties, methods, and events they expose for your usage. This will give you access to the documentation for the various levels of functionality exposed by Internet Explorer. While objects provide the base from which almost everything happens, in and of themselves they really aren't that exciting. Browse through these listings until you find something that sounds interesting, click on it, and find out from where it is coming. To make your browsing as productive as possible, you'll need to understand early on the difference between a property and a method.
Some common properties exposed by many objects include height , width , color , and name .
A method is something that normally will instigate additional processing or functionality. The problem is that he was looking in the wrong place. The right place was in the above-mentioned list of methods. Often, simply by looking through the list of available methods and properties, you can get ideas on how to achieve some form of special functionality in your application. I highly recommend that all Web designers familiarize themselves with these pages, so that they can better understand the tools at their disposal.
