Product DescriptionWe know from the success of titles such as Web Standards Solutions, Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation, and the Web Designer's Reference that web designers are increasingly concerned with making sites that don't just look pretty, but are also built using current best practices. There are three main technologies married together to create usable, standards-compliant web designs: XHTML for data structure, Cascading Style Sheets for styling your data, and JavaScript for adding dynamic effects and manipulating structure on the fly using the Document Object Model. This book is about the latter of the three. DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model gives you everything you need to start using JavaScript and the Document Object Model to enhance your web pages with client-side dynamic effects. Jeremy starts off by giving you a basic crash course in JavaScript and the DOM, then move on to provide you with several real world examples built up from scratch including dynamic image galleries and dynamic menus, and show you how to manipulate web page style using the CSS DOM, and create markup on the fly.

Rating: - Perfect for learning DOM
This book gots it all together well. I love the way the author writes and the way he presents a concept. Its so easy to follow and understand. This book isn't fit for a total beginner..you're going to need at least some experience with Javascript, CSS, and HTML to be able to implement DOM in your javascript.
I've never written a review before but after reading 10 chapters of this book, I purposely had to come on here to write this review. you really should check out some of the stuff ... Read More
Rating: - The best intro to JavaScript for designers
This book is perfect for front end developers with little to no JavaScript or DOM experience. Jeremy Keith is one of the top proponents for unobtrusive, semantic, and gracefully degrading JavaScript in the world. A must buy for anyone who ever needs to use or learn JavaScript and the Document Object Model.
Rating: - If you want to learn JavaScript the right way, start with this book.
One can't rely on a book to be good enough to explain things the way they should be explained. Many people give up trying to learn something because they blame themselves for not getting it. The key, I've learned, is to keep on looking until you find the resource that will. I've learned this lesson by going through a many books on JavaScript to finally end up with one that hits the nail directly on the head. That book is Jeremy Keith's DOM Scripting.
I recommend starting with this book and ... Read More
Rating: - DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model
Great book, no available in France. Basic Dom description but clever and useful. Jeremy Keith is a very good "teatcher". Grâce à ce livre tout devient plus facile et clair. Vraiment dommage qu'il n'existe pas de developpeurs en france qui écrivent des livres aussi bien. La collection friendsof est vraiment incontournable. Bravo et bonne suite à cette collection. FiendsOf is a very top book's edition.
Rating: - A great introduction to DOM Scripting
I've had time lately to do a lot more reading and Jeremy Keith's DOM Scripting book is another one that belongs on your shelf if you're trying to learn any amount of JavaScript. I've hated and avoided JavaScript for years, mostly because I started my career during the browser wars and quickly grew tired of having to write different code for different browsers. Thankfully, those days are now mostly over and this book has made me love JavaScript again.
