Format:Paperback
I'm still in the beginner stage of learning HTML/CSS and JavaScript so I took a bit of a chance buying any book with "Advanced" in the title. However, I can hardly put it down. I like the author's style and I'll certainly be looking for other books by him. It was just amazing to see my 3 column design come to life. I've downloaded the material from the web site and so far it seems to work. I guess this book is now a little out of date - but so far it's been great fun - which for CSS is saying something!

Good but not what I was expecting...
26 May 2005
Format:Paperback
I was a little surprised that the one chapter on Advanced DHTML techniques could have been titled: "Intro to JavaScript." I was disappointed because there was little on advanced CSS layout (1 chapter) with examples that were difficult to follow.
If you want a book teaching JavaScript and PHP integration this book is for you. If you want a book on advanced CSS techniques that you might want to look elsewhere.

Great book! I still use the previous one for reference too
17 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
I thought i'd never need to refer to a DHTML/CSS book again (I thought the first DHTML and CSS Visual QuickStart book had covered it all) but a friend left this book on my desk and I couldn't bring myself to give it back.
Like the first book, this is not a 'repetitive review of the features' book, I'd call it a 'lets see what DHTML and CSS can do for us now' book. It both describes and illustrates the concepts and has nuggets of practical information that a hands-on person would immediately take to.
From overlooked but relevant optimal meta tag usage details like link relationships to accessing XML and using php with MySQL. You know the writer thought about what readers would need information
on. I highly recommend this book, with or without the first book.

Cookbook
17 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the sequel to the excellent DHTML and CSS for the World Wide Web. It is merely a cookbook of techniques, whereas the first book is an outstanding introduction to an advanced subject.
This book is worth leafing through to find items of interest but it does not advance the state of the art in the way the first book did.
