DHTML Index - DHTML Book :
Writing Cross-Browser Dynamic Html
Writing Cross-Browser Dynamic Htmlby Heather WilliamsonPaperback: 367 pages Publisher: APress ISBN: 1893115054; (January 2001) This book is divided into three sections. The first is a detailed treatment of the technologies, concepts, and standards needed to use Dynamic HTML for users running all the popular late model browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher and Netscape Navigator 4.0 and higher. This section also discusses the implementation and development of HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, competing models of the DOM (document object model), and the JavaScript/JScript/ECMAScript techniques needed to control the DOM. The second section teaches Web designers how to use DHTML to develop a dynamic site, focusing on implementation issues related to maintaining cross-platform compatibility. A tutorial in this section shows readers how to create a completely interactive Web site, ready to post on the Web. The third and final section shows the reader alternate ways to use functions and features similar to those used in the second section. A guide for use with Internet Explorer 4.0, 5.5, and Netscape showing how to create dynamic Web sites that work with either Netscape or Internet Explorer. Shows how to incorporate cross-platform disciplines into the development process and how develop highly interactive Web sites with HTML. Features an in-depth discussion of browsers. Customer Reviews Reviewer: A reader from Indianapolis, IN USA I have used this book as a learning tool in training classes and have found it gives a sound foundation on DHTML and how it is implemented in Netscape and IE's current supported versions. Ms Williamson has layed out the basic principals that are being used today and lays the foundation that can be built upon by Developers and Designers in the future. Although some of the examples did not work as they were intended we were able to make sense of what the intention was and see how the usage would enable us to provide pages for clients that could be impactive and easily viewed. Reviewer: greenpig from NY, NY USA The reviews below are entirely accurate about the (lack of useful) content in this book. But I have to add that I've never seen a book as poorly edited as this one. (There are a lot of poorly edited books out there, too.) Variables change their name from one line of code to the next; typos abound; and on p. 184 a query by the editor to the author has been duly set into the code! So the code is unreadable, and even after you correct for the typos and errors and omissions it still doesn't work, and even if it did work it would be lame. Reviewer: Nathan Niesen from Minneapolis, MN USA I thought this was going to be a good book for creating business class Cross-Browser DHTML Web Applications. IT'S NOT. Apparently, the target audience for this book was the weekend web-hobbiests who want cute interactive graphics for thier homepages. This book is not worth the paper it is written on. Reviewer: Marshall from NC If you are looking for the source to solving all your issues that just don't seem to work for both IE and Netscape, this is NOT the book. Nuff said. |
