Summary: the definitive reference for HTML
Review: For me the most useful part of this book is the 100 or so pages of HTML specification. It specifies the elements, attributes and values accepted by HTML 4.0, IE and Netscape browsers. This is worth the price of the book.The CSS/DHTML sections are somewhat harder to use. I sometimes have to look several places to find what I am looking for. It is a better reference than guide or tutorial. If I was going to work on a complex DHTML project I would look for another (perhaps newer) reference. There is also a large Javascript/DOM reference section that I never use. I prefer "Javascript the Definitive Guide" for this subject.

Summary: Fabulous book
Review: From the beginner to a well-seasoned programmer, this book adds a lot of value to your collection. The book gives you great examples and reasoning behind the different techniques that should be observed while creating any website. Plus, there are very detailed chapters devoted to HTML, DOM, CSS, and JavaScript references. I would definately recommend this book.

Summary: Can't keep up with lightspeed growth of web technologies
Review: I bought this book a long time back when it was first published (first edition). If your target web browser is IE4 and NN4 then this book may deserve a 3 or 4 star rating. However, web technologies have grown at lightspeed pace and this book has been collecting dust on the shelf. In order for this book to be effective it must cover the latest in DOM and CSS standards. I cannot recommend this book.

Summary: JavaScript !
Review: Simply, It's NOT the book I was looking for.
I had "JavaScript bible" for "GOODMAN" before that, and it was better (But still NOT that good book though).
I'm MCSD certified, had alot of writing with JavaScript and none of the two javascript books I have meet my satisfication.
I have been looking for "Real-time JavaScript programming" book (Deals with JavaScript as real and powerful scriptable language NOT a couple of effects and decorations) .
I have to admit it, this book serves as a good REFERENCE no more.
And still NOT that good reference 'cause too many things had changed since this book was published .
Want a JavaScript reference ?
Run to more decent books that has the update for new browsers and codes .

Summary: Another classic by Danny Goodman
Review: Just like his Javascript Bible, this is a superb reference book for client side scripters.
It is well organized and each area is clearly explained. Also the index at the back is comprehensive, so it is easy to find whatever you need help with quickly.
This has been an invaluable productivity aid for me. It is hard to find good really good programming reference books, so this gem really stands out in my opinion. It is the best dynamic html book out there.

Summary: Most essential book for web developers
Review: I'd call this book "most essential" because there isn't another one that you could substitute for it. It has all the information you need on HTML, DOM, CSS, javascript and browser compatibility - all rolled into one book. What's surprising is that it's been around for several years now and no one else has even tried to write a better book. This is the essential reference for web developers - it's always found in our office open on my desk - unless my collegue has it on his!

Summary: Great reference
Review: This book is a great reference for DOM, CSS and HTML. Although there are some errors in information.(small errors though) e.g [it says on page 821 that the screen object won't work in NN but when you check page 706 it says the it works on NN] and things like that. But its a great book...especially if you want to make your scripts cross-platformable.

Summary: Best web developers reference ever!!
Review: I was lucky. As I started developing for the web, my boss placed this book on my desk. Others say it's not for beginners; but a beginner can easily get overwhelmed without having some reference book to find out how to do things. From this book I learned both HTML and Javascript. It is simply fabulous and I still open it all the time.
Buy it!!

Summary: Wonderful DHTML Reference
Review: Even though this book is a bit out of date, the information presented is still of great value to any web developer who knows how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work. The book's first few chapters describe how to use DHTML, adding style sheets, scripting events, and also discusses different browser compatibility issues. However, the book's real value is in the Reference section, which takes up most of the book. Extensive reference chapters on HTML, DOM, Style Sheet Atributes, JavaScript information are where this book's real value lies. While definitely not a book for beginners, it is most likely the best DHTML reference book available.

Summary: Great reference, but still looking for a better one.....
Review: This is a great reference on DHTML, it has great coverage of DHTML and DOM. Great for programmers making DHTML for both IE and Netscape (for versions 2.0 and up). Very compact explanations at times -- but then again, this is a reference. It's a great book for intermediate to advanced web developers. The reason I only gave it 4 star, is because I'm SURE there must be a better reference out there. I had a VERY HARD time finding info on some topics for Netscape 4 (but we're takling some very specific details.... which I later concluded was a bug in Netscape... but either way, coverage was scarce) Either way, if you only have ONE DHTML/DOM/(maybe even JS) reference on your book shelf, make it this one.
