Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
"Dynamic HTML" is a euphemism for "the standard tags are not enough and you have to learn some programming." Hyman introduces the dynamic object model, Cascading Style Sheets, and scripting languages like VBscript and Jscript. Like most books in the IDG series, this one is well written and entertaining. One caveat: the examples are Microsoft-centric, and some of the nonstandard suggestions here will not be supported in Netscape. For larger collections as an adjunct to Campbell. Since Netscape still has about 60 percent of the browser market, web authors exclude a lot of readers by designing for Internet Explorer 4. Campbell's book is for folks who want to design for all browsers. In a two-chapters-per-day seminar, Campbell covers all the bases and nicely balances the hands-on practical tips with underlying theory. He concludes with some worthwhile thoughts on "How much dynamic is too much?" Highly recommended for both beginners and advanced HTML users moving to the dynamic model and JavaScript. While Darnell does not use the word "dynamic" in the title, his bible covers everything dynamic: HTML, JavaScript, ActiveX, Java and the CGI, and even XML. To cover all that ground, he makes some assumptions, so this is not a book for beginners. It can work as a great quick reference for power users. For larger collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great first book for HTML programming., June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This book is better than most other books for first time HTML programmers. It gives good introduction on related topics like JavaScript, Java, DHTML, Active X and VBScript. I got a good idea of HTML from this book but I went on to get two more HTML books for better reference and in-depth programming techniques. However, I would NOT recommend this book to someone who already knows basic HTML or who is looking for a good reference book on HTML. One important thing to note is that this book was basically written for HTML 3.2 and later when HTML 4 came, a few last minute changes were made to put 'HTML 4' on the cover. So this book does not cover HTML 4 the way it should. This book is badly in need of a revised edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars It only hampers your website development, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This book is so tedious and hard to follow. I don't know why the author made simple HTML codes seem so difficult. It was tolerable at first since I knew some HTML already, but then when I got to the advanced part (such as Javascript), it was impossible to grasp the concept. I was so frustrated.
