Product Description

If you want your Web site to do more than just "look pretty," JavaScript and HTML 4.0 are the tools for you. This book teaches you both -- and shows you the techniques and sample code you need to get them working together exquisitely. The book begins with a simple introduction to both HTML 4.0 and JavaScript, including simple scripting techniques. Learn the key fundamentals of HTML 4.0, including working with text images, multimedia, lists, documents, images, image maps, forms, style sheets and scripts. Then discover how to supercharge your pages with JavaScript. Understand JavaScript syntax, operators and control structures, functions, objects, events, arrays, controls, strings, math functions and more. Learn how to use JavaScript and HTML together in frames, layers, cookies, history lists, navigator objects and other great sample applications. For all programmers and Web administrators who want to start working with JavaScript 2.0 and HTML 4.0, including those migrating from previous versions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of "Bad Book", 25 Aug 1999
By A Customer
If this book was software it wouldn't even be Alpha. Mispellings galore... Examples without explainations... You name it... It is done poorly.. The first book I purchased without doing my homework and boy did I pay for it... Do yourself a favor review before you buy...

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost any other reference would be more useful, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be incredibly confusing and lacking any real presentation of HTML or JavaScript. The book had way too many errors and typos that any decent Editor should have caught. However, the real problem with this book is the lack of presentation. Most topics are given a cursory presentation at best. Attributes and properties are listed instead of explained. An experienced programmer might be able to decipher this book, but a novice has no chance. Since the book really doesn't proide attributes or properties in a consice catalogued manner, I really don't see any use for this book in any context. I returned it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Quite a disappointment, 29 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I am not sure who would find this book useful... the explanations are very thin in most places and often it just has lists of types or attributes etc. with little or no explanation. The examples are few and far between (and poor). On each occasion I went to look up answers to questions re: HTML or JavaScript I ended up having to resort to other materials. The explanations and answers were not to be found here.
