Makes DHTML a lot harder than it should be,
By D.Nobles (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dynamic Html: Master All the Essentials (Paperback)
I maintain a web site that is loaded with javaScript(www.art-wow.com). When I decided to make my pages interactive with DHTML I made the mistake of buying this book. The authur writes DHTML pages for IE browsers using VBscript and pages for NetScape with javaScript. How idiotic! The rule of the web is 'Cross Browser Compatability'! This book is great only if: A.) You create pages exclusively for either IE or NN -- not both! B.) You want to write every DHTML script twice or C.) You want to know how DHTML written in javaScript and VBscript differ There are so many good books that focus on how to make every DHTML page work equally well on both browsers (by writing it only once). In my opinion, that's the beauty of creative DHTML. The biggest problem I face is getting the same results in both browsers by only using javaScript. I don't need to know two ways of accomplishing the same goal. In all fairness, this book does show you how to do a number of cleaver things. The author explains himself well and points out important things to know. Unfortunately, I've looked at a lot of DHTML and I must admit that I almost never run across any written in VBscript. Quite simply, no one does it that way (even the MicroSoft sites recommend javaScript).

It's only for IE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Html: Master All the Essentials (Paperback)
The author tell you that all scripts can run on IE and Navigator. It is true only at chapter 1. After this chapter, you have to translate the code from IE HTML to Navigator HTML by yourself; otherwise, you never see the result as shown. In my opinion, it is a good book for learning DHTML only if you are IE lover. Unfortunately, I am not IE guy.

Good book, but not without errors,
By sieb@okm.com (Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dynamic Html: Master All the Essentials (Paperback)
I bougth this book because I wanted to get acquinted with Dynamic HTML. It's easy to read and work through, cover to cover. Unfortunately it contains a lot of errors in the programming examples, and listings aren't always the way as they are in the downloadable examples, mostly in the Navigator listings. Further more the examples in the book are using Javascript and VBscript throughout the book, while these two languages are only (roughly) explaned in the last two chapters. If you are accustomed to Javascript and VBscript and you wish to program a little DHTML in IE. then this is your choise.
