On the previous page in this series
we proposed one way of implementing stretchtext for Netscape 4. This
page discusses another idea. Instead of having distinct id
s
for each little bit of text, why not use class
es? Well,
it sounds a very reasonable possibility, but unfortunately it doesn't
work. See the example below.
Stretchtext, a kind of hypertext, is basicallya form of writing closely related to other prose.. It is read by a user or student from a computer display screen. The user, or student, controls it, and causes it to change, with throttlesconnected to the computer. ItStretchtext gets longer, by adding words and phrases, or shorter, by subtracting words and phrases, on demand.
