DHTML
DHTML, or Dynamic HTML, is the use of Javascript to manipulate CSS objects (typically DIVs) on an HTML page. Javascript can be used to show and hide items, to change their appearance, and even to move them on the page.
Readings and Exercises for DHTML
In class, we'll be working through the "Revenge of the Menu Bar" DHTML tutorial on BrainJar. This is one of a number of excellent tutorials on the site.
As your CSS becomes more complex, you may find this CSS Selectors guide useful. There's also this CSS Hacks page.
I've also linked to a number of DHTML and Javascript resources over on del.icio.us.
