Summary: Let's clear the fog!
Review: I believe the difference between those who loved this book and those who hated it is this: how often do you work on web design? For "in-my-free-time" developers or beginners I say this, "when you have gotten a fair background in development and want to finally move into serious application, buy this book." For professional web developers like myself I say this, "add this to your library right now!" I have retired my Javascript and HTML books and I don't care if I ever see them again. Now the only books in my library that I use with regularity are this one and "ASP in a Nutshell" and "Developing ASP Components" -- all from O'Reilly. I carry this book with me EVERYWHERE!! BOTTOM LINE: If it's a hobby, it might not be a very useful or exciting read, if its your job then give yourself a break, buy this book now!

Summary: Don't leave home without it
Review: Even though this book is about 1000 pages, I carry it with me if there's even a *chance* I'll be doing any DHTML. A quick look in the book saves hours of trying to "figure out" how to access an object or which events I can use. It is mounds of priceless minutea, conveneintly organized and well indexed.

Summary: Good for IE, not for NS
Review: Im a semi-professional DHTML developer, and i have tons of books from Microsoft on IE, i dont need another one, i want NS, lots of it, and while it has some, its mostly IE. Thats what makes this book stupid. How can it include DOM stuff, when its always changing. Way below O'Reillys standard. Hope they learn

Summary: Great Guide for HTML/Javascript
Review: O'Reilly delivers another good book in Dynamic HTML.This book is a good reference for combining HTML, Javascript and Style Sheets to produce dynamic pages. However, there are times when you may want to delve deeper into Javascript. For that I'd recommend the book "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" ISBN 1-56592-392-8

Summary: This is THE book that I have been searching for
Review: This book is not meant as a tutorial, but if you understand some DHTML, then this is the book you should buy. It has HTML, DOM, JavaScript, and CSS. It also shows which tags and DOM properties are compatible with which browsers (that alone is worth the purchase price.) I have purchased other HTML, JavaScript, and DHTML books and this is by far the BEST and most complete reference.

Summary: Great Reference - Not for those looking for tutorials
Review: It's a good book - just not meant for individuals looking for a series of tutorials.

Summary: Fantastic Reference. Highly recommended.
Review: The book serves as a complete HTML, Javascript, and CSS reference; eliminating the need for separate references. I don't care that spiders are building their own webs on my other books. While not a tutorial, it has a handful of examples which I've found very useful. The reference sections conveniently document which commands/tags are supported by which browser (IE vs. Netscape). My only suggestion to improve this book would be to have code suggestions to accomplish the same action in the alternate browser for the commands/tags which are browser-specific.

Summary: Good reference guide, but lacking in detail
Review: Pros: + Pretty easy to look up a specific style property, object property, Javascript property, etc. + Each property shows whether it is compatible with Netscape, IE, DOM, CSS, etc. Cons: - Often lacks necessary detail: "Not all event types assigned a constant value are yet implemented as events in Navigator 4." (OK, which ones??) - Very subtle differences in typefonts between major headings (i.e. HTML tags) and sub-headings (properties for a tag), making it easy to get lost .

Summary: No nonsense, to the point reference. Invaluable
Review: I've been writing DHTML for quite a while and have looked through dozens of books on the subject. Of all those books, I would have to say that this is the best I've seen. Unlike the other books that treat the readers like idiots, and go through 200 pages worth of stuff we already know, this book dispenses with all the pleasantries and get straight to the heart of the matter. This reference books has just about everything from simple HTML tags and their properties, to DHTML tags, CSS attributes, DOM structure and javascript references. Best of all, for all properites, events and tags listed, they book describes whether or not they are supported under both browsers or just one of the two. One of the most annoying things that can happen is for you to find the tag/method/object of your dreams only to find out that it's only supported under IE. With this book, there are no nasty surprises like that. For a mere $40.00, this book is hard to beat.
