"Build dynamic, cross-browser Web pages using JavaScript - the premier client-side scripting language in use today on the web. First learn the basics of the language, then combine syntax and theory to develop practical applications - create a variety of windows including special dialogs, use the W3C document Object Model (DOM) 2 to manipulate (X)HTML documents, add sizzle to your pages with special effects, and improve usability. With full coverage of advanced topics such as using embedded objects and remote JavaScript, this is the ultimate resource for beginning and advanced users alike."--Jacket.
