Description

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.
