This eagerly anticipated update to the popular JavaScript for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide uses a combination of task-based instruction and strong visuals to teach beginning and intermediate scripters how to liven up their Web pages with JavaScript. Best-selling authors and Web gurus Tom Negrino and Dori Smith take readers step by step through all of today's JavaScript essentials: creating navigation bars and other user interface elements, producing dynamic images and smart forms, controlling and detecting browsers, creating and manipulating windows, validating user entries in Web forms, and more. Both beginning scripters, who want a thorough introduction to the topic, and more advanced scripters, who are looking for a convenient reference, will find what they need here-in straightforward language and through readily accessible examples. By the end of the volume, users will be able to smoothly integrate HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to bring their Web sites to life. They should even be able to use JavaScript to build their HTML automatically.
