Please don't be put off by these setbacks, dHTML does offer some wonderful elements of design that until its implementation have been impossible, to be able to place content where you want it and have layers that can be placed on top of each other, hidden and shown depending on how the viewer interacts with the page is wonderful. I only wish it was easier to implement and make sure that the page would look just as glorious when viewed with older software.
If you do want to utilise the wonders of dHTML just make sure that your content is readable by older software, even if it does require composing a whole set of alliterative "pre-4" web pages. After all that we're having to do, so why not you. There is nothing more discouraging than reading, "download 'whatever-browser' 4 now."
Just remember the meaning of the word "dynamic," look what my Thesaurus came up with...
active, thrilling, electrifying, inspiring, stimulating, powerful, pert...
PERT? Well that certainly makes dHTML sound interesting.
