Rating:  Summary: Best all-around reference Review: This book has been invaluable to me in my business of building web sites for the internet and intranets. I buy one for every new employee who works in development. It's clear, unfluffy, comprehensive and EXTREMELY well organized, as so many other reference books aren't (including others by O'Reilly). There are a few minor inconsistencies here and there but these are nothing compared to other so-called reference books I've read.You will get not only the DOM model and a great html reference, but clear understanding and syntax for cascading style sheets (not the easiest thing in the world to catch on to), container concepts, and an introduction to Javascript. If you only buy one web reference book - buy this one. I've been doing this work full time for a year and a half and I still pull this book off the shelf before any others.
Rating:  Summary: A very good book about Dynamic HTML Review: I bought this book based on the reviews from other readers. That means I had a great expectation to this book, and it didn't disappoint me at all. The examples are also working in the real world. The only thing tha I miss from this book is a CD-ROM!. As many other software developer I am lazy to type the HTML-code to try how it works. It will be good if the book provides all the code and some web browsers in a CD-ROM.
Rating:  Summary: throw out the other books - this is the DHTML bible Review: I am now on my 3rd copy of this book - 1 at home, 1 at work, 1 at my former employer. Very unbiased - it didn't have that 'netscape is great!' or 'IE is great!' bull you get in other books in the genre. Please, Please Danny Goodman, update this book for IE5, Opera, and Mozilla!
Rating:  Summary: If you buy just 1 web-authoring book, this should be it! Review: I've had this book for about a month & have opened it for reference many times without disappointment. I haven't opened the HTML or CSS books I have since I got this one, haven't needed to. I was skeptical about buying another book covering the same subjects, but it has been well worth it. I wish I had bought this book before the others - I would not have needed to buy them at all.
Rating:  Summary: Can't wait for the next edition Review: I'm on my second copy of this book! After a year of use I've dog eared almost every page; stuffed it with Post-It notes; stained it with beer, coffee, and soda-pop; and accidentally tore about a third of the pages. It's felt my hands touch every page, and seen my face staring at it for hours at a time. My only complaint is that the paper and binding are not indestructable. If you need a reference manual, this is the one to have.
Rating:  Summary: A most excellent "definitive reference". Review: I started taking a serious interest in web design and development just two months ago and was overwhelmed by the storm of web technologies that hit me right up front: HTML, Dynamic HTML, JavaScript, DOM, CSS etc. This book laid a solid foundation for me. I can confidently say that I now understand how HTML, JavaScript, CSS and DOM combine to produce powerful, interactive and dynamic web pages. In fact, the coverage of JavaScript itself (in the many examples used throughout the book) was so comprehensive that I am now breezing through 'JavaScript: A Definitive Guide'. 'Dynamic HTML' by Danny GoodMan surely delivers on its promise as a definitive reference and then much more.
Rating:  Summary: superb Review: I develop DHTML all day every day, and this baby is my bible - in addition to its excellent survey of the DOM and a very nice JavaScript reference, has an excellent reference on style sheets.
Rating:  Summary: Another valuable O'Reilly resource Review: I wouldn't have graduated college without O'Reilly. I wouldn't have gotten my last job without this reference. Not the best study text, but as always an authoritative, unbiased reference with loads of clear and useful cross-platform info.
Rating:  Summary: Simply a must-have reference for any advanced web design Review: If you want to do anything more than just plain HTML, this book will help you a lot! Javascript, DOM, DHTML, and Style Sheets are all covered in excellent detail here. This is the best book on the subject I have seen yet.
Rating:  Summary: Great for beginners learning DHTML who know JavaScript. Review: I found this book to be a fantastic introduction to DHTML. Starting with a solid understanding of JavaScript, it was easy to move into style sheets and dynamic positioning of elements.
