Bulletproof Web Design: with XHTML and CSS. No matter how visually appealing or packed with content your Web site is, it isn’t succeeding if it’s not reaching the widest possible audience. If you get this guide, you can be assured it will! By deconstructing a series of real-world Web sites, author and Web designer extraordinaire Dan Cederholm outlines 10 strategies for creating standards-based designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control—key components of every successful Web site. Each chapter starts out with an example of what Dan refers to as an “unbulletproof” concept—an existing site that employs a traditional approach and its associated pitfalls. Dan then deconstructs that approach, noting its downsides and then making the site over using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By the end of each chapter, you’ll have replaced traditional, bloated, inaccessible page components with lean markup and CSS. The guide culminates with a chapter that pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single page template.

JavaScript Bible 5th Edition. The 5th edition of this guide to JavaScript is revamped to include up-to-date coverage of JavaScript, including how it fits into Web browsers. Part tutorial and part reference, it serves as both a learning tool for building new JavaScript skills and a detailed reference for seasoned JavaScript developers. The book covers JavaScript basics with an updated, standards-intensive tutorial tailored for newcomers and discusses writing scripts for mouse rollover effects and powerful client-side form validation and how to master JavaScript and DOM concepts with the exclusive interactive workbench


Beginning JavaScript. Javascript is the only scripting language that runs in all the leading Web browsers, making it an essential part of the Web developer's tool kit. The language itself is not especially difficult to learn, but it becomes more challenging when you include related topics such as HTML forms, dynamic HTML and cross-browser compatibility. Beginning JavaScript, which is suitable for beginning or intermediate programmers, covers all these topics and more to provide a complete Javascript handbook. Early chapters cover language basics, such as data types, functions, conditions and loops, string handling, and programming with objects. The authors explain how to control the Web browser by programming its object model, and how to combine scripts with forms. There is a guide to debugging with Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer, and a chapter on using cookies to store user preferences. A substantial part of the book is focused on Dynamic HTML and how to write scripts that control the content of the page. There is a clear explanation of the DOM (document object model), as specified by the W3C Web standards group.


Pure JavaScript. Including coverage of JavaScript 1.4, this work offers a JavaScript desktop reference for experienced programmers, including an accelerated introduction to JavaScript and detailed professional scripting techniques. The bulk of this book is made up of a top-notch JavaScript reference. Core language syntax is well presented with excellent use of examples for practically every operator and function. Each entry includes the version compatibility with Netscape and Microsoft browsers and JavaScript releases. A number of appendices round off this fine guide with attention to standard and vendor-specific syntax details. This is a fine JavaScript reference that cuts no corners.
