Today, web users expect web sites to provide advanced features,
dynamic user interfaces, and fast response times. To deliver that, you
need to know the JavaScript language. Beyond that, though, you need to
know how to use JavaScript to script the Document Object Model (or DOM).
Now, at last, you can learn both JavaScript and DOM scripting in this one great book.
In fact, by the end of chapter 3, you'll be able to develop and debug
significant JavaScript applications. By the end of section 2, you'll
know the complete JavaScript language and some elementary DOM scripting.
And by end of section 3, you will have raised your DOM scripting skills
to an expert level.
