JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition
The 5th Edition is completely revised and expanded to
cover JavaScript as it is used in today's Web 2.0 applications. This book is
both an example-driven programmer's guide and a keep-on-your-desk reference,
with new chapters that explain everything you need to know to get the most out
of JavaScript, about:-
Scripted HTTP and Ajax, XML processing, Client-side graphics
using the canvas tag, Namespaces in JavaScript--essential when writing complex
programs, Classes, closures, persistence, Flash, and JavaScript embedded in
Java applications, Part I explains the core JavaScript language in detail. If
you are new to JavaScript, JavaScript will teach you the language.
Part II explains the scripting environment provided by web
browsers, with a focus on DOM scripting with unobtrusive JavaScript. The broad
and deep coverage of client-side JavaScript is illustrated with many
sophisticated examples that demonstrate how to:-
- · Generate a table of contents for an HTML document
- · Display DHTML animations
- · Automate form validation
- · Draw dynamic pie charts
- · Make HTML elements drag gable
