Summary: This book is useless
Review: This book is useless for anyone who actually knows programming. The examples are not optimized and useless in the real world. All they do is TELL you what to do instead of teaching you the language. This bad is like all the other visual quick guide, useless!!! It's great for those who knows nothing.

Summary: It is only good for specific tasks
Review: If you are looking for some quick trick to put on you web page, then this is a good book. It doesn't, however do very well at explaining JavaScript. You are not going to learn that very well from this book. I suggest you get a different book for Javascript.

Summary: This book is great, and it thought me all I know!
Review: JavaScript for thw World Wide Web thought me all I needed to know about JavaScript, and all I ever thought I could know! I would highly recomend this book to any computer programmers trying to learn JavaScript! The visual quickstart series are excellent books. Using pictures rather than lengthy explantions really got me more hyped up about what I could get my pages to look like and what they would look like to others.

Summary: I did not learn Javascript.
Review: I bought this book thinking that I'd LEARN Javascript. Instead, this book is solely a collection of scripts, most of which are freely available from plenty of websites. If that's what you want, then perhaps this collection is for you. I wanted to LEARN, and this is not the way. This collection of scripts gives the reader no explanation as to how any of them work. Not a training book by any means.

Summary: JavaScript requires a left-brained treatment.
Review: The book glosses over the basics of JavaScript: the bracket is introduced in two contexts without any explanation (in one instance, the left and right brackets serve as conventional C-style array index delimiters, in another as some sort of string search delimiter). I'm going to have to resort to the Web or to another book to find out. If you want to learn about the JS language, don't buy this book. It's written with a right-brained, Macintosh rules!, drag-and-drop bent. It does not include a decent appendix/glossary section. I wish I could comment further on the book, but I gave up and have already returned the rag to CostCo, in disgust. I'm tempted to give it one star, just to bring the average down and to discourage other buyers.

Summary: Good book for newbies like me!!!
Review: I like the VSQ series. Hope my eyesight remains good in the next few years though...The prints are getting smaller and smaller...But the content is good. Direct. Clear. Practical. You get results straight away! There's nothing worse than reading long winding pages and only to find out that you can't implement what you've just read onto the web site. With this book, at least you don't feel so...stupid!And hey! the book is cheap !!! Thanks Dori. Kien Caoxuan from Cherrybrook Sydney Australia

Summary: Easy read for the computer "non-literate."
Review: The scripts are top-rate. At a quick glance in the programs (most of which work in newer browsers, I might add), you could get an idea of what certain triggers and handlers could do. With the explanation of what they do on the side, it makes writing programs even easier. This well-written book (certainly not for programming professionals) is a must have for the beginning Web Page author.

Summary: It was great! You can teach yourself JavaScript quickly!
Review: I thought that it was a really good book. I read thru the chapters and topics that I needed to and without any prior knowledge of JavaScript, I added JavaScript methods to my web pages that did input field validations and corrected the text of other input fields. I did want more of an explanation of some methods, and so I wonder what the next book is. I wasn't sure of the syntax of some of the methods and I had to guess when the errors occurred. I wanted to see sample JavaScript code in the book that was contained comprehensive examples. However, there was an excellent tree structure in the back of the book that told what types of methods or event handlers or properties each type of object understands (windows, forms, radio buttons, text fields, etc).
