Roots of Crys`s ACP Document Phase Approach
(Page 1 of 4 )
In this second part of a twelve-part series on Active Client Pages (ACP), I give you the roots that give rise to my approach. One way to learn is by asking questions. We shall use that learning method here. Some of the questions are: can you reference a previously opened page? How can you get and set contents in a page that has just been loaded? When DOM was invented, Active Client Pages technology was not envisioned, so we have to ask these questions.
What is a document?
A document is everything you see below the browser bars (e.g. toolbar). When you type the address of a web page at the address bar of your browser and click Go, what you see below the browser bars is a document. In this series, a document is a page.
What is the Current Document?
The current document is the document you are seeing on the screen.
What is the Master Page?
The master page is my vocabulary in ACP. When you type the address of a web page at the address bar of your browser and click Go, what you see below the browser bars as a result is the master page. With the Document Phase of my (Chrys's) approach, the master page does not have frames. It is a non-frame HTML document.
