    JavaScript grafic

    Well I've seen homepages with a game and these are sometimes maid with JavaScript. Now how do they do that? How do you make grafic with JavaScript because to me it seems like text is all it can handle (that and pictures). Is there some function or object I should know of?
    Well english isn't my first language, (it's instead a useless language called danish which only 5 milion people speak!!) so if you think my grammar SUCKS (it does by the way) than you're more then welcome to correct me.
    Hell I might even learn something

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    dhtml is a combination of
    html, css, and javascript

    it's a huge subject and an up and coming "technology" (using term loosely) It could be used to create games.

    I know how to code in HTML (though that can't be called real coding), JavaScript and CSS so all () I need to learn is DHTML.

    If you know HTML , CSS, and Javascript you already know DHTML since that's what it is.

    You need to learn DHTML DOM (Document Object Model) this is the API you use in javascript to effect page elements. The stuff you want will be in the style attributes. BEWARE though, since the style attributes and DOM itself are not fully supported in the browsers, in fact it's been best supported in IE, Netscape and Opera implementations of it were shotty or non-existent. Not sure if they have corrected this in both OPERA and Netscape.
    //An example of javascript DOM
    <script type="text/javascript">
    header.style.color="red"
    </script>
