Summary

JavaScript is one of the most frequently used scripting languages for Web development, user interface elements, and interactive design. A favorite of programmers and content creators, JavaScript is easily interpreted and run by all major browsers. Unlike full-fledged programming languages, such as C or Java, JavaScript requires no compilers, making it accessible for all levels of users. JavaScript for the World Wide Web, 4th Edition: Visual QuickStart Guide is the perfect book for users who are familiar with HTML but don't necessarily have a programming background. With visual, task-based lessons and hundreds of screen shots, readers learn to use JavaScript to liven up their pages with dynamic images and smart forms. They'll learn to control browsers; detect which browser or plug-ins the user has and respond appropriately; use JavaScript to create and manipulate windows; and smoothly integrate HTML, JavaScript, and Java in a site. This edition covers new topics such as events, Cascading Style Sheets, Bookmarklets, and working with visual tools such as GoLive, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks.
