Before undertaking cross-platform DHTML development, be sure you understand that the features you can exploit in all target browsers—regardless of the techniques you use—are limited to comparable feature sets within the realms of style sheets, positionable elements, event models, object models, and downloadable fonts. Dynamic content is also a cross-platform possibility in W3C DOM-compatible browsers, but several DHTML features described in Microsoft's developer documents are available only in Internet Explorer for Windows with few, if any, parallels in other browsers.
