JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook 2nd Edition
In today's Web 2.0 world, JavaScript and Dynamic HTML are at
the center of the hot new approach to designing highly
interactive pages on the client side. With this environment
in mind, the new edition of this book offers bite-sized
solutions to very specific scripting problems that web
developers commonly face. Each recipe
includes a focused
piece of code that you can insert right into your
application.
Why is JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook so popular? 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. For every problem he addresses, Goodman not only
offers code, but a discussion of how and why the solution
works. 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, sorting tables,
and implementing Ajax features on the client.
Ideal for novices as well as experienced scripters, this
book contains more than 150 recipes for:
Working with interactive forms and style sheets
Presenting user-friendly page navigation
Creating dynamic content via Document Object Model scripting
Producing visual effects for stationary content
Positioning HTML elements
Working with XML data in the browser
Recipes in this Cookbook are compatible with the latest W3C
standards and browsers, including Internet Explorer 7,
Firefox 2, Safari, and Opera 9. Several new recipes provide
client-side Ajax solutions, and many recipes from the
previous edition have been revised to help you build
extensible user interfaces for Web 2.0 applications. If you
want to write your own scripts and understand how they work,
rather than rely on a commercial web development framework,
the JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is a must.
