JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook

by Danny Goodman

On numerous online forums for JavaScript and DHTML, the majority of questions begin with How do I...? This new Cookbook provides the answers. After reading thousands of forum threads over the years, author and scripting pioneer Danny Goodman has compiled a list of problems that frequently vex scripters of various experience levels. He has now applied state-of-the-art ECMA and W3C DOM standards and used best practices to create this extensive collection of practical recipes that can bring your web pages to life. The recipes range from simple tasks, such as manipulating strings and validating dates in JavaScript, to entire libraries that demonstrate complex tasks, such as cross-browser positioning of HTML elements and sorting tables. This book is the ideal companion to O'Reilly's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide and Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference. If you own either of these books, the JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is a must.

Nice "cookbook" of examples on making web pages active. I learn well through examples so this was a good book for me.

A useful set of examples, apart from the over-complicated chapter on dealing with IE, which is not the author's fault.

Since ECMAScript5 is widely supported and ES6 upcoming, this book(delivered in 2009 and based on ES3) is kind of outdated. Still worth reading though.
