Summary: Perfect...with a little beforehand knowledge
Review: I had previosuly read the Webmonkey tutorials on CSS, JavaScript, the DOM and the dHTML and without those, I would have probably been lost in this book, but with those, its a great REFERENCE, not a tutorial..

Summary: Great Book...A Must Have for Developers.
Review: Great book! Plenty of clear, concise info regarding all of the elements that make up DHTML. Beginners beware...this isn't for people new to web development. A good background in HTML (at the very least) is almost a must. Otherwise, it's a solid book for the audience it was intended (as with all O'Reilly books).To the reviewer who only gave it 2 stars due to lack of DHTML content: DHTML is a concept enabled by JavaScript, VBScript, the Document Object Model (DOM), layers, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). What part of that did the book not cover?

Summary: Definitive Reference?
Review: This book is suppose to be "The Definitive Reference for Dynamic HTML." If that's what it's suppose to be, then why are there only 126 of 1100 pages devoted to DHTML? If I were you I would pass on this book if you're looking for a help with DHTML. You'll end up spending more time searching on the web for answers and references rather than this book. The book does cover DOM, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. But what I was looking for was straight DHTML. The title really threw me off. Theres more pages devoted to DOM then there are for DHTML.

Summary: Just essential
Review: I make my living creating web pages, coding web pages, and fixing other people's web pages. This book goes with me everywhere. It is clearly arranged, well written, well indexed and everything else that you would want from a reference book. If you have to deal with websites on the client side on any level beyond "beginner" (or pre-DHTML 3.0 browsers) this book is a must. I just hope that the author will bring out an updated version when Netscape 6 is released.

Summary: Topnotch DHTML Reference
Review: Got to give credit where credit is due, and that is why I am writing this review. Every since I purchased the book, I had used it numerous number of times, such as checking for browsers compatibility, css syntax, properties and definitions, etc.... After putting this book to good used, I can certainly tell you the one thing that is undisputable of this book is that it is EXTREMELY WELL INDEXED for once!

Summary: Don't let "Dynamic HTML" title fool you... it's got more!
Review: The most important thing I can stress in my review is that this book is a reference. If you are new to programming, I would suggest getting more of a tutorial-based book. If you've done any work with HTML, scripting languages, and/or object-oriented programming, you won't believe how handy this book is. This book is not just Dynamic HTML. The text is divided in to 5 different reference sections: Applying Dynamic HTML, HTML reference, DOM (Document Object Model), CSS reference & JavaScript reference. In fact, I'm trying to learn JavaScript and I almost feel that the JS reference contained within this book is so good, I don't need O'Reilly's JavaScript Definitive Guide. One of the great things about this book is the treatment of IE vs. Netscape. For example, in the HTML reference, the author points out code syntax differences for each tag for both browsers. In the JavaScript reference, the author uses a consistent method of telling you after which browser version the specific object, property, and method is supported. Sorry if this is slightly confusing, the main thing is the solid treatment of browser support. This book is sensational. For me, being a VB programmer but newbie web/JavaScript programmer, there are enough code examples within and the book is written well enough that I can use this immediately in my job. Highly recommended

Summary: A must-own reference book
Review: I agree with Silona, this is THE reference book for DHTML! Not a book for learning DHTML, but what you want handy when you have to look something up while working on a project. I also highly recommend his "Javascript Bible," which is a great book for learning Javascript.

Summary: You need this book
Review: This is a great, comprehensive reference book for those needing the specifics about DHTML. In addtion to the DHTML and HTML sections, it includes a DOM Reference, CCS Reference and a Javascript Reference. It points out differences in HTML 4, IE and NN. (Keeps you from wasting your time if you are seeking cross browser compatibility). Along with the Definitive Guides to HTML and Javascript, this is a must have !

Summary: What a technical reference should be
Review: There are hundreds of books out there relating to Web development. I have purchased at least a dozen of them but the one I use is "Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference". This book contains all of the information I need about HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript in a very well laid out format. What's more, Mr. Goodman has been kind enough to include a very brief, no frills introduction to implementing the various aspects of DHTML. I have come to expect good things from O'Reilly, but this is easily the best, most complete computer reference I own.

Summary: Definitive is the operative word
Review: I teach Many web based courses and this is the text I never leave at home. Whenever I encounter a bug in a javascript in class Danny always has the answer. You cannot be considered a real JavaScripter if you do not own a copy of this book. The only bad thing is that it is a very dry read. I just consider it to be the best reference book around for JavaScripting.
