5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on this topic I've read
This book is very readable, gets right to the point, and will not put you to sleep. Several others (such as Inside DHTML) are so anhydrous they'll suck up all the rain in Seattle. This book however is a great intro to DHTML. You don't have to be an expert in HTML to get a lot out of this book. Has good appendices on HTML, DHTML, JScript, and VBScript.

2.0 out of 5 stars examples use VBScript, not Javascript
Although the subject matter is well covered, all the code examples that I saw are written in VBScript. That renders the book effectively useless if you code your client side script in javascript (which is the industry standard).
If you are a javascript coder then get Danny Goodman's Dynamic HTML, published by O'Reilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really usefull Programmer's Reference, March 8, 2000
This review is from: Ie5 Dynamic HTML Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
I knew some (D)HTML before buying this book, but I was looking for a book I could use when I needed to make something besides "normal" DHTML (use on many sites). AND THIS IS IT!

The books first half is about Dynamic HTML (methods, events ect.), and the second half is a really great reference!

This gave me the opportunity to make better pages than on so many other sites, so if you're looking for a book where you don't have to read many pages of useless stuff before getting to the point, then this is defiantly what I would advise you to buy! (A great combination with this book could be "Professional VB6 Web Programming" - Wrox)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have, July 24, 2001
This review is from: Ie5 Dynamic HTML Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
Although web browsers have evolved beyond IE5, this is still a great book. It is well organized and easily referenced. I keep it handy for the quick look up need without having to go into the MSDN library. There is a heavy emphasis on VBScript. It is worth the investment.

The Code works the examples are easy to follow and the title of the book says IE5 Dynamic HTML which means that it has to work with vbscript. this is another excellent Wrox book
