This book is a comprehensive, well organized, reference for the various technologies that make up Dynamic HTML. Its not for beginners -- it won't teach you how to use the technologies and its not a cookbook of step-by-step examples -- but it will tell you everything you want to know and a lot that you didn't know you needed to know. You probably won't need to refer to it all the time but you'll be very glad to have it around when you need it. |

I use this book as my first point of reference for all those technical details regarding HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, and the Document Object Model (DOM). What I really like about this reference tome (1000+ pages) is how every element, tag, attribute, etc. clearly denotes which browser/browser version supports the item. It's nice to be able to carry around a single book that can answer so many questions. Highly recommended. |

This has proved to be the most valuable reference book I own, and I develop software in a number of languages. The title is a little misleading--if you are doing any web page development, you should buy this book. If I could own just one book about JavaScript, for example, this would be it. At my last place of employment, a coworker had this book, and we wore it out. When we both left, I had to rush out and buy my own copy. I'd have bought it at double the price--it's that good.

Certainly not a cover to cover read! After owning and using this book, I have to agree with the cover when it brags to be the Definitive Reference. Despite its immense size, information is so well organized that I have yet to have difficulty finding exactly what I need in a quick and efficient manner.
The book provides complete references for HTML, XHTML, DOM, Events, CSS and JavaScript/Jscript. It is a shame that the Table of Contents is not presented as that truly shows how complete this title is. Luckily, the TOC is presented on the publisher's web site and I recommend a visit there to see for yourself. Each element reference is complete with information on properties, methods, examples and explanations in a straightforward arraignment. Beyond the references are sections dedicated to explaining how to use the technologies. These sections are not designed as a learners guide, but do provide the information necessary to implement the technology.
I could not imagine my web development without this title. It has been a constant presence on my desk since the first release.

I have the first edition so it is a bit old, but it is by far the best book I have ever bought. Unlike most books, this one isn't for dummies, so therefore useful to people who know computers. It serves as a great cross-reference to the browsers and allows you to know what functions work with what versions of what browers. I'm tempted to get the updated version.
This is not for those who use HTML editors and do not know a thing about coding. This is for developers mostly and is a reference guide.

This book is magnificant reference work that combines lucid explanation with comprehensive reference. However, as one previous review mentioned, this is not a Dummies book. This book is for someone already familar with HTML and web design. It will take your skills to the next level, incorporating the latest javascript, DHTML, and CSS technology. The book's greatest advantage is that it can function as a total reference book--it has a complete listing of commands and functions--but also as a introduction to these topics; the beginning chapters on the various technologies are excellent overviews of key ideas. Overall, a must-have book for the intermediate web developer. |

I use this book primarily because I can't remember all of the HTML tags and all of the attributes you can use with each. This alphabetizes and gives a complete explanation of exactly how each HTML entity can be used, including more details than you'll ever need concerning the different attributes (parameters).
This book not only gives the complete HTML specification, but it also describes whether each feature is supported by IE or Netscape (and which version). It discusses how different browsers will handle the same code, which is a big plus in my eyes.

This is the book to own when it comes to developing for the HTML front-end. It covers everything, Javascript, HTML, DOM, Dynamic HTML, the whole lot. It does it well, which is amazing given the amount of coverage. It's a little miracle of authorship and editing in what must be a five pound package. While other books of the same heft are loaded with worthless screenshots, this book is packed with meaningful, well organized, information. |

Even though this book is a bit out of date, the information presented is still of great value to any web developer who knows how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work. The book's first few chapters describe how to use DHTML, adding style sheets, scripting events, and also discusses different browser compatibility issues. However, the book's real value is in the Reference section, which takes up most of the book. Extensive reference chapters on HTML, DOM, Style Sheet Atributes, JavaScript information are where this book's real value lies. |

I bought this book to learn how to create a new menu system for a web site that I'm working on, and I certainly don't regret the choice. Danny Goodman's book does a very good job of covering Dynamic HTML (DHTML), HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), DOM (Document Object Model) and even JavaScript.
The amount of information in this book is incredible. 1400 pages! (Not 1500, as currently indicated at Amazon.com, incidentally, but 1400 is sufficient.)
Mr. Goodman explains the current situation, where Microsoft's Internet Explorer follows one "standard" and the other browsers follow the W3C standards to varying degrees. He also indicates which version of MS IE first began to support each feature, allowing you to decide whether you want to use some feature that some of your clients' older browsers may not support. This kind of information is invaluable if you want to make your web site cross-browser compatible, including support for Macintosh, Unix, Linux, etc., as well as Windows.
My only criticism is that the book is unfortunately becoming a bit dated. It was published in Sept. 2002 so it obviously can't contain any information about the latest versions of web browsers. On the other hand, Microsoft has not released any new version of IE for over two years, so it's only information about the latest versions of Netscape and other browsers that is missing.
One additional thing I liked about this book was that Danny Goodman sometimes uses an almost poetic English, something rather unusual in a technology book. A couple of examples from page 19: "... can be a challenge unto itself." "If the inexorable flow of new browser versions..."
Highly recommended if you are making web pages that require the use of Dynamic HTML. |
