Having no Index is Really Lame,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to VBScript: The Encyclopedic Reference for VBScript, HTML & ActiveX (Paperback)
The book is pretty much okay except that it lacks an index. This makes using it as a reference sometimes difficult. If you know exactly what things are called you can look them up in the alphabetical listing. Otherwise, you are kind of screwed.

You too, can be an author of a book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to VBScript: The Encyclopedic Reference for VBScript, HTML & ActiveX (Paperback)
I thought the above critic was being a bit too harsh on an author... until I read it myself. Although in the "Who needs this Book?" section it mentions that "...this book can assist anyone from the beginner to the accomplished professional programmer.", I have to disagree and say that a new beginner may be confused by many of the inaccurate and dated statements. For example, I love the one that says (paraphrasing) you shouldn't use the !DOCTYPE statement because only HTML 3.2 browsers can read it anyway. Why would you ever commit such a line to print?? In many cases, this book was outdated before it went to press. It really became a problem after reading completely inaccurate statements, then not knowing weather following statements were accurate or not.On the plus side, I liked the way it was indexed. It offered a good reference resource to those that couldn't quite remember the exact syntax, but already knew what the functions did. I noticed that the "Comprehensive Guide to VBScript" might have been comprehensive THEN, but it's missing a lot TODAY. I could have probably got the same info online somewhere though, but I always like to have a hard copy handy. This one, however, made me feel like even I could be an author of a VBscript book. And that's not saying much.

the Comprehensive Guide to VBScript , an excellent reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to VBScript: The Encyclopedic Reference for VBScript, HTML & ActiveX (Paperback)
True some of the wording in the book is a little off, but the Syntax and the depth of explaination regaurding the tags is invalueable. I have yet to find another reference book that explains the syntaxes and how to use them more complete than in this book. I use it as a reference to HTML 3.2 and ActiveX controls constantly
