Summary: best dhtml book around
Review: I think this book is amazing. I have a little experience with dhtml before I bought it but this book is a must have. It not only covers dhtml, but html and javascript. Compatability issues of each tag with different versions of IE and NN are also a plus. I also saved money by buying one book for these three subjects instead of three.

Summary: Awesome - my BIBLE
Review: I am a professional DHTML developer and this book is my BIBLE. No other work has so comprehensively and thoroughly documented *cross-browser* Javascript, DOM, HTML, and CSS in one place. It very clearly tells you what is available and what will and will not work on various browsers and versions -- something that is otherwise extremely difficult to cull from widespread sources.The reviewers here that have given this book a low rating because it isn't a concise tutorial are silly. It's not a tutorial -- it's an excellent, comprehensive reference meant for people who already are somewhat familiar with the basic concepts of DHTML. Once you learn the basics and encounter the nightmare of cross-browser scripting, you will surely appreciate the scope and magnitude of this truly definitive work. This is THE single DHTML reference to have.

Summary: as it says, its just a reference
Review: i was rather disappointed with this book. i learned dhtml better from the tutorials you can find online than in the 150 pages it devoted to applying dhtml. if you're looking for a reference book only then i guess this is probably the best choice out there (probably the only choice) but if you're looking to learn dhtml like i was then either wait for a new book or learn from the tutorials online that have real examples you can actually see.

Summary: There is a bible for any given six months of web development
Review: This book is the one book an experienced web developer needs to have. When you reach the point where you don't need to know how to write the code but rather what code to write, this book will save you many hours. If the client says "I need X" you'll be able to say yes or no within minutes not hours - it has made all the difference to me. If you are worried that other books are outdated because version 5.0 of IE is out worry not - this book is not dated and won't be for at least 12 months.

Summary: Its Too Big
Review: Once upon a time I got annoyed with huge computer books. Acres of text signifying nothing but a cop-out manual listing. This was Goodman's book on HyperCard. Now he's done the same to O'Reilly, a series I cherish for their completeness of coverage, brevity and quality of index. This is a monster of a book, but this doesn't tell me about DHTML, it enumerates the subject, a task performed far better in Webmaster in a Nutshell, or Web Design in a Nutshell, or the individual texts on HTML or JavaScript from O'Reilly. I have to carry texts with me, this one won't travel.

Summary: A Great REFERENCE Book
Review: Take a course in DHTML (I recommend this rather than reading a book). Get comfortable with what it is and its complications are (e.g., Netscape vs IE) then get this book and you will have all you need. Not for beginners, but it can make you a pro fast with a little preparation.

Summary: 'THE' DHTML reference!
Review: Danny Goodman has produced THE reference book on DHTML. As well as providing a complete DHTML and CSS reference, there are sections on adding dynamic content to web pages and scripting events. Both are clearly explained with examples.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent reference
Review: Not only will this book help you in developing DHTML in both IE and Netscape, it also serves as a top notch reference. You get complete HTML, JavaScript, AND DOM indexes. Not for web site beginners.

Summary: Worst book by Goodman _or_ O'Reilly ever
Review: I have been a fan of Danny Goodman's books since the heyday of HyperCard, and a fan of O'Reilly & Associates since I first played with Perl many years ago. But this book is far below the standards both have set with their previous works. I have found it to be nearly useless in practice: the index is a vestigial afterthought; the organization of the core reference sections is unwieldy and counterintuitive; the page layout and navigation elements (such as guide entries and section headings) give local information only and don't help the reader maintain a sense of where in the (deep and byzantine) section hierarchy they are. I'm sure a large part of the blame should rest on the chaotic subject itself, but the reputations attached to this book lead to the expectation that it will make sense of a muddied topic, and it just doesn't. This is the first Goodman or O'Reilly book for which I really just want my money back.

Summary: Excellent book for all developers
Review: This is a really useful book, IMO, for developers of all skill levels. The book's strongest point is how it explains how to write for the different kinds of browsers out there...great for site planning! My only complaint is the book doesn't have a code disk or web site--but I wouldn't let this stop me. Bottom line, a really useful book.
