5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive guide to the future of Web Development, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Dynamic HTML (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

I loved this book! It thoroughly goes into detail about all aspects of Dynamic HTML: Style Sheets, JavaScript 1.2, and the new Document Object Model.

Caveats:

Will only be useful to those developers with a bit of client-side scripting experience. Also, the examples in the book are Microsoft Internet Explorer centric. However, since the MS implementation is destined to become the WWW3 standard, it's a great tool for boning up on what will be sure to become the de-facto standard for web scripting.

Plus, the supplemental web site is one of the best DHTML resources on the net.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Reference And Excellent Tutorial, May 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Dynamic HTML (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

Inside Dynamic HTML provides great insight on all the nuances of the language/object model. Only someone that had been involved in the drafting of the DHTML specification could write about each topic with such an in-depth understanding of the subject matter. Copius Javascript examples of major language features are found in each chapter. The CD-ROM contains an HTML Help searchable reference of the book's text. The insideDHTML web site has lots of working examples and code to download to complement the book. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about learning Microsoft's implementation of DHTML.

This review is from: Inside Dynamic HTML (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

I've had this book for quite some time know and I still refer to it often. Scott Isaacs, one of the men representing Microsoft for the W3C at the time of the books writing and one of the creators of DHTML, does an outstanding job of introducing you to DHTML in a very easy to understand way. If you are familiar with JavaScript and HTML and need a better understanding of how to combine the two to produce interactive webpages this book is for you. While this book is a bit dated it does an excellent job of laying the foundation for the current state of DHTML. The lessons you learn from this book can be extended by visiting the authors website, probably one of THE best websites available today on cross-browser DHTML! This book is a definite buy!
