Product Description
Synopsis
With the release of version 4, Internet Explorer has developed from being a browser to being a complete web application development platform. This work sets out to cover all the major areas of programmability. It starts with 5 chapters on Dynamic HTML, including coverage of Cascading Style Sheets, the Browser Object Model and Scripting. It then moves on to devote 4 chapters to Data Binding, giving examples using ADC and RDS. The next section covers a mixture of advanced programming techniques - the new multimedia effects that one can achieve, the new components that can be downloaded and used - NetShow, Chat and Agent. It also includes a chapter on Scriptlets, the newest of IE4s technologies, which enables web developers to reuse their code. The final section of the book deals with Channels, Webcasting and the Active Desktop, and leads into a comprehensive reference section.
From the Author
Advanced IE4 Programming book? Look no further.
You're a web developer, you know Javascript or Vbscript, you know HTML and you've just spent the last hour searching through IE4 books, yet everyone is just a point and click guide on how to use Outlook Express. You're frustrated, you know how to use a browser, any idiot can do that, what you'd really like to know to is how to get those multimedia controls that come free with IE4 into your web pages, how to connect your web pages to your own database, how to create your own channel files in CDF, and what is all the fuss about scriptlets? This is the only book currently available that will tell you how to do that.

This is the only book currently available that will tell you how to do that.
We assume you know the basics. We'll get you programming IE4 in Dynamic HTML, in ASP, in JavaScript. This is an advanced book for web developers but it packs a lot of information in its 800 pages. Information on scriptlets, multimedia controls, data binding, channels and dynamic html written by experienced programmers that you won't find anywhere else yet.

Decent IE4 book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Professional IE4 Programming (Paperback)
The reader from Raleigh, NC obviously didn't read the title of the book before purchasing. This is an "IE4" book, not a Netscape, or any other third-rate browser book. If you want cross-browser support, than DON'T buy a book that is named "IE4 Programming".I though that this book gave decent coverage and was worth the $.

VB Scripting - say goodbye to cross browser compatability!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Professional IE4 Programming (Paperback)
A fine book for Intranet development - a seriously flawed effort for Internet work. All material is covered using VB script, which is utterly worthless if your trying to develop a site that works with both Navigator and MSIE. Though you can complete every task discussed in this book with either VB or JavaScript, the authors summarily dismiss JavaScript. Don't purchase this book if you plan to develop sites that work across the browser divide!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply written, generous references in table format,
By A Customer
This review is from: Professional IE4 Programming (Paperback)
I appreciate the authors' simple style--direct-to-the-point in simple English (unlike the abstract prose used by experienced programmers who lack the gift of of sharing information in simple terms). The book has lots of examples and screen shots, and with generous lists of properties, methods and events. The indices at the back of the book serves as a reference when done with the entire book. This book is a must in every Web programmer's library.
