Item Description
JavaScript is great and JavaScript for the World Wide Web offers a productive, how-to style that lets you solve a problem or pick up a trick and then move on with the rest of your work. This book makes wise use of side-by-side explanations and screen shots, as well as code snippets and their analysis. This approach gives readers the feeling that the authors are sitting by their side and showing them how to code scripts. Most subjects are handled with numbered steps, such as "Validating Zip Codes," and useful tips punctuate the text. The book introduces the whole concept of JavaScript, then moves into solving real-world challenges. The book covers all JavaScript's capabilities, from eye-catching graphics tricks to data-entry form processing and cookie management. The book also points out many of the differences between Netscape and Microsoft dynamic HTML approaches. The JavaScript object model is laid out in an appendix, along with object compatibility between various browser flavors.
