February 07 Meeting - Creating Markup on the Fly

Modifying your markup can be as easy or as difficult as you want. Using the innerHTML or the W3C DOM methods such as createElement, appendChild and insertBefore can allow you to manipulate anything on your web page to create some very interesting effects. These techniques allow you to further enhance the user's web experience and are part of truly creating interactive content.

This topic could be covered in more detail with additional meetings so here are some videos narrated by Dori Smith that show some more examples in creating and manipulating content using the DOM and its nodes:
