He is the author of three dozen computer books, including Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference and The JavaScript Bible, and provides consulting services for client-side web scripting.Back Cover Copy
The majority of questions that show up on the numerous online forums for JavaScript and DHTML begin with "How do I...?" The JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook answers those questions. Over the years, bestselling author and scripting pioneer Danny Goodman has read thousands of forum threads and compiled lists of the problems that scripters of various experience levels frequently encounter. 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 and DHTML Cookbook is all about adding value to the content of a web page. This book is a comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone using JavaScript and Dynamic HTML to enhance web pages. For every problem addressed in the book, there's a solution or "recipe"-a focused piece of code that web developers can insert directly into their applications. But the book offers more than cut-and-paste code. You'll 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 in the JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook 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 The JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook is the ideal companion to O'Reilly's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide and Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference. If you own either of these books, the JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook is a must-have.BDS Summary
