While this book may be a bit intimidating for first-time web authors, it is an incredibly useful manual for those who know the basics of HTML and need a reference to newer features and standards.
The first section is an extremely well-written overview of modern HTML: the history and philosophies behind CSS, JavaScript, the Document Object Model, and the designs of the two major browsers, as well as some excellent examples of writing portable code to access these features from different platforms and browsers. The clarity of the writing here is a very pleasant surprise from what is really just a reference manual and simply doesn't need to be this good. This section alone is probably enough to bring most "tag-only" authors up to date on the newer dynamic technologies.
It is the reference sections, however, for which most readers will buy this book, and they are excellent. There are comprehensive listings of HTML tags, JavaScript primitives, and DOM structures. Most importantly, every entry in the reference section is labeled very clearly with which browser and/or standards versions support it, a crucial piece of information to cross-platform authors which is left out of many similar books.
All in all, this book may be the only reference a developer really needs on his bookshelf for writing dynamic HTML.
- From quoting Robert D. C. Shearer
Target readers:
Web designers, programmers, project managers, and anyone else creating a Web site.

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.
