The DHTML Toolkit
   -- for Performance-Centered Systems

Fifteen initial tools

Caution. All but two of the following tools require Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher.

Navigation advice. To cycle through the entire set of tools, first click on any item in the list below. Then click on the words "The DHTML Toolkit" to advance to the next tool. (This approach was convenient for presentation but will be changed for the released toolkit.) Use the links found at the bottom of each page to escape the cycle.

How to use the tools. All source files are located in the "ToolKit" directory. I used a naming convention that should make it obvious which files belong to which tools. To adapt a tool to your own application, refer to the cut-and-paste instructions included as comments in the source files. Please remember that this was a feasibility study, so the instructions are not as complete or polished as they would be in a fully developed toolkit.

About the toolkit. Watch EPSScentral for announcements about general availability and additional tools.
