Product Description

In today's Web 2.0 world, JavaScript and Dynamic HTML are at the center of the hot new approach to designing highly interactive pages on the client side. With this environment in mind, the new edition of this book offers bite-sized solutions to very specific scripting problems that web developers commonly face. Each recipe includes a focused piece of code that you can insert right into your application. Why is "JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook" so popular? After reading thousands of forum threads over the years, author and scripting pioneer Danny Goodman has compiled a list of problems that frequently vex scripters of various experience levels. For every problem he addresses, Goodman not only offers code, but a discussion of how and why the solution works.Recipes 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, sorting tables, and implementing Ajax features on the client. Ideal for novices as well as experienced scripters, this book contains more than 150 recipes for: working with interactive forms and style sheets; presenting user-friendly page navigation; creating dynamic content via Document Object Model scripting; producing visual effects for stationary content; positioning HTML elements; and working with XML data in the browser.Recipes in this Cookbook are compatible with the latest W3C standards and browsers, including Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Safari, and Opera 9. Several new recipes provide client-side Ajax solutions, and many recipes from the previous edition have been revised to help you build extensible user interfaces for Web 2.0 applications. If you want to write your own scripts and understand how they work, rather than rely on a commercial web development framework, the "JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook" is a must.

About the Author

Danny Goodman has been writing about personal computers and consumer electronics since the late 1970s. A freelance writer and programmer, he's published hundreds of magazine articles, several commercial software products, and three dozen computer books. His most popular book titles -- on HyperCard, AppleScript, JavaScript, and Dynamic HTML -- have covered programming environments that are both accessible to non-professionals yet powerful enough to engage experts. His "JavaScript Bible" (Wiley) book is now in its fifth edition. Danny is also a programming consultant to some of the industry's top intranet development groups and corporations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the job, 5 Jun 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook: Solutions and Example for Web Programmers (Paperback)

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

This review is from: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook: Solutions and Example for Web Programmers (Paperback)

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read.
In web development, there are normally multiple ways of doing something. Most learning books tend to teach you one method. This book is far more enlightened though. Read more
