i was looking at your web site. my goodness, i was impressed and
charmed.
Well, thank you.:-)
could you tell about what the html there was doing? it worked very
nicely, and i don't have java or flash working here.
Ok, the url in question is:
http://hopey.nervo.org/~gwidion/palestra_gpl/palestra3.htm
what I use there is "dhtml", the buzz word for scripting a site with
javascript (ecmascript), and CSS.
The page in question is part of a presentation on the GPL I have made
this year. I prepared it roughly in the form of slides, but of course
I would not use MS powerpoint. Neither were I in a mood to use the
OpenOffice counterpart. So I took my time to show them that plain
HTML could also be used to make fancy sliding presentations.
well, i admit that i like javascript. what i don't like is listening to
the legitmate gripes about it. i don't like silly use of it, like for
simple navigation.
as a powerpoint emulator, now this is useful. i have tried to keep a
fully function mozilla working, without a lot of extra third party
plugins. i don't know how successful i was at this. having your page
dance around without apt-getting weirdsly named software -- nice :)
i have such a list of things that i need to do. an "i am an html snob"
site would be so cool though. i remember when i first looking into
dhtml, i didn't find it easy to work with.
That was the result.
The background images were done using POV-Ray.
they are beautiful images. gimp images could dance as nicely as yours did.
is the "howto make slides from html" available?
thank you for the lovely samples and explaination :)
