JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, Beta Version (Nutshell Handbooks)
JavaScript The Definitive Guide Beta Version - Nutshell Handbooks Author:David Flanagan From the bestselling author of Java in a Nutshell comes the definitive guide for JavaScript, the HTML extension that allows programs to be embedded in Web pages, making them more active than ever before. In this book, David Flanagan describes how JavaScript really works (and when it doesn't). With JavaScript, you can control Web browser ... more »behavior, add dynamically created text to Web pages, interact with users through HTML forms, and even control and interact with Java applets and Navigator plugins. JavaScript is not an alternative to Java, but an ideal partner. Since JavaScript is a simple language that can be embedded directly into a Web page, without need for compilation, it is accessible to more Web page authors, and may actually have a larger short-term impact on the Web and on Internet computing than Java itself. JavaScript is still beta software and is rapidly evolving. This book documents the version of JavaScript shipped with Navigator 2.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2, and also the much-changed version of JavaScript shipped with beta versions of Navigator 3.0. The 3.0 information is current as of the 3.0b4 release. Includes coverage of the frustrating bugs encountered in the beta version of JavaScript, as well as a complete reference section that documents every oject, property, method, event handler, function, and constructor used by client-side JavaScript.« less
