Product Description
Product Description
For any course in Digital Graphics, Web Design, Web Scripting and Development, Multimedia, Page Layout, Office Tools, and Operating Systems.
These task-based, visual reference guides feature step-by-step instructions and plenty of screen shots to guide students and teachers through the most important tasks. Visual QuickStart Guides are the ideal way to get students up and running quickly, and are used for intermediate and advanced students as a quick reference.
From the Back Cover
Finally, the smoke is clearing on the technology which unleashes the full capabilities of the world's web browsers: DHTML. Capable of creating full multimedia power on a web site, DHTML is a collection of related technologies, cascading style sheets, Javascript, and HTML used together in powerful and elegant ways. The effects can be stunning, and give web designers unprecedented power over their visual interfaces. After learning DHTML, the interactive designer and webmaster can create web pages filled with animation, synchronized events, intelligent data, and beautiful fonts: all the bells and whistles!
The DHTML Visual QuickStart Guide inherits the immensely successful format and approach of the best-selling HTML and Javascript titles and shows that DHTML doesn't have to be difficult to learn. A technology created for designers, DHTML should not only be used by programmers.
Task based, step-by-step instructions and easy to follow screen shots make the DHTML: Visual QuickStart Guide the easiest way to learn DHTML. Read the book cover to cover, or just follow the steps for the task you need, right here, right now. Either way, you'll be up and running with DHTML in no time.
Easy to use and also comprehensive. The DHTML Visual QuickStart Guide documents every aspect of this complex technology, and provides extensive appendices that make finding the exact code word you need a snap.

I am a "beginner" in dhtml. Ok i know some javaScript and some HTML, which is what DHTML is anyway! I was advised by a friend not to buy this book, but, for a tenner, i thought, why not? This book is great, because it has a very in-depth section/s on CSS and CSS-P, which involves the various aspects of CSS (text,margins etc) and also goes into some detail about positioning etc. The reason why this book is not getting 5 stars from all the reviews is either the person wants £50 worth of book for £10 or simply the said person has not read and understood the book. This is by no means an exhaustive supply of DHTML comcepts and i would recommend "Javascript in a week/21 days" by SAMS and "DHTML Magic" by Jeff Rouyer to finish your course. This is a great book for beginners and for the internmediate, buy it!

I looked to this book to help me learn about how to use DHTML on my sites. Unfortunately the info. inside can easily be found in an hour on the net, and if you've ever had a remote interest in CSS, JavaScript, or DHTML, you're probably going to know everything this book talks about.
Save your money.

This book carries on the excellence of Mr. Teague's book on frames. He not only explains what will work, but is very explicit in telling us what different browsers do, or don't do, with a given CSS. His instruction technique is excellent and doesn't leave the reader wondering where they got lost.
If there is a weak point, it is that he doesn't stress the weaknesses of the various browsers in using style sheets. The test site he references in the appendix is informative but disturbing when Netscape and IE are both found sadly weak in some areas. The facts are clear, however, that DHTML is here to stay and this has become my main source of reference.
