DHTML Browser Implementation Reference

[tsdragon]

Because of it's comprehensiveness and convenience, I frequently use MSDN Online as my DHTML/CSS reference. Unfortunately, a lot of the properties and methods listed there are MSIE only. As a result, I've got some great code that only works in MSIE (which, fortunately, is my target at the moment). I'd like to make some of this code available to other developers, but in order to do that I need to make it compatible with other browsers. So ...

Can y'all give links to a couple of references for browser DHTML property/method implementation?

I've seen links for CSS, but not DHTML.

By DHTML properties/methods I mean things like:
firstChild
children
insertBefore
replaceNode
etc.

Have you tried the HTML DOM bit of

?

I just checked it out. All it has is a list of HTML objects. I need a reference for properties and methods of objects, especially those that can manipulate objects.

(I'm not real impressed with w3schools anyway. There's just enough there to be almost helpful, but useless as an advanced reference.)

How about DOM Technical Reports at W3?

That's a good description of the whole DOM thing, if you can wade through it. But there's no mention of which browsers support what.

I know there are references of this kind for CSS, and for HTML objects. I wonder that no-one seems to have done the same for DHTML methods and properties. If I can't find one I guess I'll have to start doing some digging and build one.
