Book Description
On numerous online forums for JavaScript and DHTML, the majority of questions begin with "How do I...?" This new Cookbook provides the answers. 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. He has now applied state-of-the-art ECMA and W3C DOM standards and used best practices to create this extensive collection of practical recipes that can bring your web pages to life.
The JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is all about adding value to the content of a web page. The book focuses on practical and sensible applications of scripting, rather than flying images and gratuitous color changes. For every problem Goodman addresses, there's a solution or "recipe"--a focused piece of code that web developers can insert directly into their applications. Yet, rather than just cut-and-paste code, you also get explanations of how and why the code works, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to your designs.
The 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 and sorting tables. This book contains over 150 recipes on the following topics:
- Working with interactive forms and style sheets
- Presenting user-friendly page navigation
- Creating dynamic content
- Producing visual effects for stationary content
- Positioning HTML elements
- Managing browser windows and multiple frames

An excellent compilation of useful code snippets.,

This review is from: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook: Solutions and Example for Web Programmers (Paperback)
I've had the book two days and it has paid for itself a couple times over already. I wish I'd had it about two weeks earlier.If you 1) already know a programming language such as C (or really, any procedural language for that matter), 2) are new to Javascript and 3) need to do some web programming with Javascript, this book is great. Before I bought it, I tried to figure out some of the stuff myself I'd almost recommend it before a Javascript reference (but you'll eventually need one of those anyway). So, it will come in the most handy for someone relatively new to Javascript who needs to get up to speed quickly on common Javascript tasks, but will also remain useful even to an expert as a reference book of often needed useful code snippets.

Many authors and publishers produce a lot of verbose books that add little content of any use. As a senior developer, I need to access information quickly that is concise and practical. JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook by Danny Goodman is both practical and concise. It is a must for any serious developer.

This review is from: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook: Solutions and Example for Web Programmers (Paperback)
As the title says, this is a Cookbook of JavaScript recipes. While it does devote a few chapters at the beginning to the basics of JavaScript, do not expect a book to teach you the basics of JavaScript. However, you can expect the contents to cover a reasonable number of common situations and solutions for enhancing web pages.The author covers topics including: navigation menus (mouseovers and expandable trees), graphic layering, frames, positioning and dynamic content. In addition, he offers a chapter on style sheets that provides a wonderful resource for this often neglected topic. Throughout the book the author presents each topic with an overview, followed by selected problems, solutions, code samples and code walk throughs. The prose is concise and well written. For additional reference on JavaScript, try JavaScript: The Definitive Guide.
