Tools to jump start programming the DOM and/or TW
First of all this post is intended for people that are new to playing with the DOM (document object model) The DOM is the structure in a web page.
Specifically I've posted this for my IS450 (Web Development Class) and TiddlyWiki friends though feel free to comment on any additions.
Literature
Before using any tools, I'd recommend getting a bit of knowledge under you belt.
I got started by reading DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design by Stuart Langridge. The first four chapters are available online for free (94 of the 300 pages in the book!)
Quirksmode also has a very good page on JavaScript document events.
Tools
The major tip is that if you are coding a page do the following: make it work using Firefox and its corresponding tools, then make it work in Internet Explorer.
Firefox Extensions:
Web Developer
View the pages rendered source
Colorzilla
Measure It
I'll put up more stuff after class.
