Packed with information on the latest web specifications -- including HTML 4.01, CSS2, DOM Level 2, and JavaScript 1.5 -- the new edition of this reference teaches you how to master the Ajax approach to web application development. In particular, you will learn how Dynamic HTML takes advantage of underused computing power to make web pages more interactive and responsive, while freeing the server from a host of mundane page reloads.

With Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference, 3rd Edition, you will be able to explore each specification, and learn how to combine XHTML and JavaScript with CSS and the Document Object Model (DOM) to greatly enhance the experience and productivity of a web site visitor. Inside, this book:

  • Provides at-a-glance references for the tags, attributes, objects, properties, methods, and events of HTML, XHTML, CSS, DOM, and core JavaScript. You can see whether a particular object property is available in desired browser brands and versions, including Safari and Opera
  • Lets you look up an attribute (or object property, method, or event type) to find all the items that recognize it
  • Offers appendices where you can quickly look up values useful in HTML authoring and scripting. The new edition includes coverage of commands used across three browsers for user-editable content
  • Includes a glossary that gives you quick explanations of some of the new and potentially confusing terminology of DHTML

You will be able to add sophisticated features to your web pages, whether or not you can do any server programming. Indispensable, complete, and succinct, this bestselling guide is the must-have compendium for all web developers involved in creating dynamic web content.

 

About the Author

Danny Goodman has been writing about personal computers and consumer electronics since the late 1970s. In 2001, he celebrated 20 years as a free lance writer and programmer, having published hundreds of magazine articles, several commercial software products, and three dozen computer books. Through the years, his most popular book titles — on HyperCard, AppleScript, JavaScript, and Dynamic HTML — have covered programming environments that are both accessible to non-professionals yet powerful enough to engage experts. His JavaScript Bible book is now in its fourth edition.

To keep up to date on the needs of web developers for his recent books, Danny is also a programming consultant to some of the industry's top intranet development groups and corporations. His expertise in implementing sensible cross-browser client-side scripting solutions is in high demand and allows him to, in his words, "get code under my fingernails while solving real-world problems."

Danny was born in Chicago, Illinois during the Truman Administration. He earned a B.A. and M.A. in Classical Antiquity from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He moved to California in 1983 and lives in a small San Francisco area coastal community, where he alternates views between computer screens and the Pacific Ocean.
