Product Description

Product Description

Detailed instructions on how to use Dynamic HTML and Web scripting languages to create Web pages and Web applications that change in response to user actions.



From the Author
The first complete how-to reference for Dynamic HTML
For the unvarnished truth about Dynamic HTML, spend 7 days with us and learn all the angles of this important and exciting new way to build Web pages with your existing tools.

Bruce and I spent a lot of time digging through the hype to find out the "whats" and "hows" of Dynamic HTML -- beginning with the requirements set down by the W3C for the Document Object Model, continuing through the maze of Netscape documentation, and ending with a day-long workshop with program managers at Microsoft.

The result is the FIRST book that combines the philosophy and intent behind Dynamic HTML with all of the nuts and bolts you'll need to make it work on both major browsers, and still have pages that are accessible by even the simplest browser.

You'll get a quick review of the component technologies of Dynamic HTML, including the Document Object Model, style sheets, and scripting, and end with pages that can do just about anything on their own except take out the garbage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I knew a fair bit about HTML when I bought this and I learnt a great deal more from it. A very useful introduction to DHTML, I use it as a reference book. I don't agree with the reviewers who criticise it so heavily, I think it is well worth having on your shelf. OK there are non browser-independant examples, but you will soon work out what is going to work with each browser anyway (or you should!) PS OK one or two examples failed for me, but most are fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars There must be better books out there., 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
The book is not well organized, poorly written and cannot in any way be used as a reference. In many cases it does not tell you if the code will work with both browsers, in many cases it teches you old, non-standard technologies like JavaScript Style Sheets and Visual Basic Script. If you really like to figure out something yourself using book's narrow hints you might want to buy it. I actually managed to build a few sophisticated web sites partially because of reading this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is wretched, 11 May 1999
By A Customer
I struggled through half the book before finally quitting. I have moderate experience with HTML and am quite experienced using Frontpage (Now using Frontpage 2000 Beta). The examples do not work using Frontpage 2000. (eg. FP2000 does not allow placing Javascript and CSS between the </head> and <body> tags,which the book stresses that you do). Too much of the book is taken up with the history and philosophy of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Industry Standards. Very very disappointing. Not even deserving of one star.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad book
I read this book with prior knowledge of dynamic HTML to see if the author could provide further insight on the topic. After completion of the text, I was left confused. Read more

Besides being horribly structured and extremely hard to follow, it also has many examples that don't work! It's obviously written quickly and without good testing and review. Read more

Yes, the book is "the FIRST book that combines the philosophy and intent behind Dynamic HTML", which should be a warning. Read more
