DOM Scripting Book Review

February 26th, 2006

I’ve bought a few JavaScript books in the distant past but I just couldn’t get my head around it so I consigned myself to either lifting it from a resource website or avoid the problem altogether.

Front cover, DOM Scripting bookThis book however is another kettle of fish. I found the concept of the Document Object Model easy to understand — especially with strong Cascading Style Sheet experience behind me and Jeremy explains how to write JavaScript to manipulate the model in a very easy to understand way. All that’s left now is for me to recognise where I can responsibly apply this long sought after knowledge.

Buy it now safe in the knowledge that you are buying into best practice for an accessible and available Internet.
