Product Description
We know from the success of titles such as Web Standards Solutions, Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation, and the Web Designer's Reference that web designers are increasingly concerned with making sites that don't just look pretty, but are also built using current best practices. There are three main technologies married together to create usable, standards-compliant web designs: XHTML for data structure, Cascading Style Sheets for styling your data, and JavaScript for adding dynamic effects and manipulating structure on the fly using the Document Object Model. This book is about the latter of the three. DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model gives you everything you need to start using JavaScript and the Document Object Model to enhance your web pages with client-side dynamic effects. Jeremy starts off by giving you a basic crash course in JavaScript and the DOM, then move on to provide you with several real world examples built up from scratch including dynamic image galleries and dynamic menus, and show you how to manipulate web page style using the CSS DOM, and create markup on the fly.

 Good Introduction, 2008-09-06
I consider this book an excellent primer and one of the most accurate compilations for approaching DOM and JS. My intention for purchasing the book was for deep knowledge and that's where I was let down. It does just a bit more than scratch the surface on the topic and is most accurate. Excellent book for beginners and students wanting to understand the correct way to approach DOM and JS. I would not recommend for advanced readers looking to really exercise their ability on the topics.

 Perfect for learning DOM, 2008-07-04
This book gots it all together well. I love the way the author writes and the way he presents a concept. Its so easy to follow and understand. This book isn't fit for a total beginner..you're going to need at least some experience with Javascript, CSS, and HTML to be able to implement DOM in your javascript.
I've never written a review before but after reading 10 chapters of this book, I purposely had to come on here to write this review. you really should check out some of the stuff Mr. Keith demonstrates in here. This is one of the best programming books I've read. The stuff he teaches sticks to you..they are real life programming techniques that can be used to spice up your website.
Seriously, if you want to get deep into javascript, you ought to get this book. Very easy to read with very useful techniques being taught. A+ for this author. Next time I buy programming books, I will look for this author, Jeremy Keith.

The best intro to JavaScript for designers, 2008-06-30
This book is perfect for front end developers with little to no JavaScript or DOM experience. Jeremy Keith is one of the top proponents for unobtrusive, semantic, and gracefully degrading JavaScript in the world. A must buy for anyone who ever needs to use or learn JavaScript and the Document Object Model.

If you want to learn JavaScript the right way, start with this book., 2008-06-14
One can't rely on a book to be good enough to explain things the way they should be explained. Many people give up trying to learn something because they blame themselves for not getting it. The key, I've learned, is to keep on looking until you find the resource that will. I've learned this lesson by going through a many books on JavaScript to finally end up with one that hits the nail directly on the head. That book is Jeremy Keith's DOM Scripting.
I recommend starting with this book and then following it up with Christian Heilmann's beginning JavaScript book.

DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model , 2008-05-27
Great book, no available in France. Basic Dom description but clever and useful. Jeremy Keith is a very good "teatcher". Grâce à ce livre tout devient plus facile et clair. Vraiment dommage qu'il n'existe pas de developpeurs en france qui écrivent des livres aussi bien. La collection friendsof est vraiment incontournable. Bravo et bonne suite à cette collection. FiendsOf is a very top book's edition.
