n Timelines can affect particular attributes of AP elements and images, or they can start any
Dreamweaver behavior.
n Use the Timelines panel to set an animation to play automatically, to have it loop indefinitely, and
to change the frames-per-second display rate of the timeline.
n You must use one of the timeline behaviors to activate your timeline if you don??™t use the Autoplay
feature.

Remember the first time you saw Google Maps? If you??™re like me, after
you??™d spent a good amount of time clicking and dragging the map
around or zooming in on a satellite view, you did a right-click to confirm
your suspicion that it was done with Flash. Wrong! The magic of Google Maps
(http://maps.google.com), as well as other sophisticated sites like Flickr
(http://flickr.com) and Yahoo! Tech (http://tech.yahoo.com), all
rely on a relatively new technology known as Ajax. Ajax combines advanced
JavaScript coding, Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation, and XML data
to allow partial page refreshes without long waits for a new page of HTML to
arrive from the server.
Ajax is highly touted as a key component of the next generation Internet, known
in designer circles as Web 2.
