Rating:  Summary: A good book for someone familiar with HTML. Review: This is a good book for someone that is familiar to HTML and wants to add some DHTML to their web pages. It is not a full reference book for JAVASCRIPT, but gives you the basics needed to get started using DHTML.The book teaches you about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) from what theyare to how to set up an internal CSS, a linked CSS and an imported CSS. It goes through CSS Fonts, text control, margins and borders, positioning, and background colors and properties. One of the things I liked about this book is that for each section it shows samples of the actual code and screen shots of what the code produces in the browser. It also tells you what code works both in IE and in Netscape and has separate chapters for each browser's specific code. Finally the book has an excellent index and appendixes outlining code and code properties. All in all this is a good book for someone starting out in DHTML but not for the expert.
Rating:  Summary: Just what I needed! Review: This is a great book for developers who want to get right into DHTML. Begins with a very in-depth study of CSS, an essential component of legitimate DHTML applications. Then it gets right into the nitty gritty with examples and thorough explanations. I highly recommend this book. It's perfect for beginners, and would make a great reference for experts.
Rating:  Summary: do not buy this book if you are starting out using DHTML Review: This is a very dangerous book as alot of the code is not cross browser, there are newer books available that will be infinately more helpful. OK for a home web site, but for commercial programming do not buy this book.
Rating:  Summary: Good start-up- acurate title, just a touch out of date Review: This is a very good book for getting started with DHTML. It covers all the basics (CSS, CSS-P, etc.). It is, however, a little dated since HTML 4, CSS2, and the W3C DOM standards are being implemented in the latest browsers. Don't get discouraged though, this will still introduce you to the basics. I would highly suggest reading PeachPit's VQS Guides on HTML and Javascript first. Then read this VQS. If after your intro to DHTML, you decide to become a Guru- buy O'Reilly's "Dynamic HTML- The Definitive Guide". Also, search the web for some reference sites- there are some really good ones for DHTML. Good Luck
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book Review: This is excellent book: the language is easy to understand / to read, complete reference for beginner and good price too. The author is well known in Web Monkey.
Rating:  Summary: DHTML Review: This is not a beginner book you need to be comfortable with HTML and even JavaScript. This does get you going in DHTML and has a great appendixes and index which outline code and code properties. It tells you what code works in Explorer and Netscape and even goes as far as to put the ones separate which require specific code. The book teaches you about Cascading Style Sheets. This was a great start to DHTML!

Rating:  Summary: Save your clams Review: This is the first Peachpit Press Visual Quickstart book that didn't live up to its billing. All the others in the series are great, but this one has numerous errors, hardly any of the examples work, and nothing is explained very well at all. Also some of the more interesting affects in DHTML aren't even covered. A big fat thumbs down.
Rating:  Summary: A good intro to DHTML Review: _Dhtml : For the World Wide Web (Visual Quickstart Guide)_ is a good starting point for those HTML Lancelots who need to armour themselves with CSS before fully spelunking the DOM. But be warned, fair readers: this is only a ticket into the real deal...
