4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, Sep 11 2006

By	Yow Hann Lee "http://yowhann.geekswithblogs.net/" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All in all, this is turning out to be a great reference. "All about eventing" is quite comprehensive and the author had a well integrated approach to pointing out cross-browser compatibility issues. I did not give this one full marks because if I were to only pick one JavaScript resource, it would still have to be David Flanagan's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide Fifth Edition.
