Product Description

Review
"...does for web scripting and dynamic HTML what the best cookbooks do for food...The best cookbooks distil the wisdom of an experienced and skilled master - and this is precisely what Danny Goodman does here. " TechBook Report

Product Description
The majority of questions that show up on the numerous online forums for JavaScript and DHTML begin with "How do I...?" This text aims to answer those questions. Danny Goodman has read thousands of forum threads and compiled lists of the problems that scripters of various experience levels frequently encounter. Rather than wrestle with the same problems that countless others have worked through before, you can take advantage of this unique and extensive collectionof practical recipes and adapt them to your own applications. The book is all about adding value to the content of a Web page. It is a comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone using JavaScript and Dynamic HTML to build Web pages. The book focuses on practical and sensible applications of scripting, rather than flying images and gratuitous color changes. For every problem addressed in the book, there's a solution or "recipe" - a short, focused piece of code that Web developers can insert directly into their applications. But, the book offers more than cut-and-paste code. You'll also get explanations of how and why the code works, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. The recipes in the cookbook range from simple tasks, such as manipulating strings and validating dates in JavaScript, to entire libraries that demonstrate complex tasks, such as cross-browser positioning of HTML elements and draggable elements. The book contains over 150 recipes on the following topics: managing browser windows and multiple frames; working with forms and style sheets; supporting various kinds of page navigation; producing visual effects for stationary content; positioning HTML elements; and creating dynamic content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the job, 5 Jun 2003
By A Customer
I have been working on developing a web application now for about 6 months and just recently got this book. I only wish I had got hold of it 6 months ago. Looking through the table of contents it contains examples of nearly all the Javascript functionality that I have struggled to incorporate into our application. I would have saved loads of time and probably have coded things a lot more efficiently if I'd had this book first. Topics such as date validation, handling script errors, creating a new window, bringing a window to the front, changing the contents of one frame from another, resizing frames, setting frameset specifications dynamically, blocking submissions from the Enter Key, Advancing Text Field Focus with the Enter Key to name just a few! I've already used it since getting it to look up modal windows and creating tree-view structures.

This is everything I expected that book to be.

I heartily recommend this book. It has tons of highly usable examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book if you need to learn Javascript quickly, 8 Sep 2005
By A Customer
I don't normally write reviews but after reading this book I felt I had to spread the good word. The style and pace of this book is excellent if you are already a programmer and need to pick up javascript quickly. You'll need a more comprehensive Javascript book to ensure you cover all bases, but if you want to learn the basics and how to actually deliver results without having to wade through chapters of general theory of programming then this is the type of book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars All round package, 29 Mar 2008
By E. Carron (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook (Paperback)
This book delivers a lot.

It is uniquely difficult to get into client scripting because it draws on so many technologies; has been a battle ground for browser developers; and the development tools are so poor.

I read(tried to read) loads of books on client side scripting but could not get the picture I needed to understand what is going on. They either each describe a single technology which is not, in itself, enough to get started with, or they describe such a big picture that there is no practical application for the knowledge.

This book covers sufficient ground that a complete picture emerges but also links that picture to the practical details needed to get stuck in.

As well as getting me going there was plenty of depth to and detail whenever I wanted it.

I have always found that in each area there is one book which has provided the breakthrough. For client side scripting this has been that book.
