Editorial ReviewsProduct Description Special revised and expanded edition of this text on JavaScript for the Internet, offering a visually-oriented tutorial in JavaScript, what it can do, and how to use it. Highlights important code samples in bold color, and provides convenient thumbtabs for easy referencing. Also provides a companion Web site with additional free materials. Softcover. | Amazon.com ReviewWhen Peachpit Press released the debut edition of JavaScript for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide, it immediately became one of the most useful tools for busy Web developers. Now in its fourth edition, this book has been improved, expanded, and more finely tuned. Written for Web coders who have at least some familiarity with HTML, the book doesn't necessarily require you to have knowledge of JavaScript programming or scripting. The presentation is illustrative and productive, and concepts are introduced via practical examples, explained briefly, presented in code, and then explained line by line. Using judicious screen shots and new code highlighted in red, the authors have made JavaScript for the World Wide Web quite intuitive. In this new edition, they point out features compatible with only certain Web browsers using new IE and Netscape icons. Along with its core content, the text includes an excellent genealogy of the various flavors of JavaScript, complete with an extensive object flowchart that is colorcoded by browser version. It also steps outside the base language with a chapter on visual development tools that use JavaScript, like Dreamweaver, GoLive, and Fireworks. There are tons of useful scripts in the book, and the publisher provides a companion Web site where you can get each script, as well as an interface for viewing the code in action. You can download all of the scripts in a single Zip file. This is simply a must-have guide to JavaScript. --Stephen W. Plain Topics covered: - Browser detection

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 232 reviews. Uses examples to explain how JavaScript works, 2009-06-09 Reviewer rating: Has examples with side bar notes on what each line does. Typical of this publishers other guides, but works really easy with JavaScript samples. Good and informative introduction of JavaScript and its applications in the real world. Reviewed 5th edition and 5th ed. Student Edition, student edition was nice because of the review sections, but basically the same book. | Good Quick Start, 2008-11-10 Reviewer rating: This book is as the cover states; "Visual QuickStart Guide....pictures rather than lengthy explanations." It was a great help in getting started with JavaScript. It is not an in-depth tutorial, but then, it doesn't claim to be.
I liked it.

the examples will not run as written in the book.
They do not conform to the w3schools standards.
