Javascript for the World Wide Web

This book is at an introductory level and only a basic understanding of HTML is assumed. The book presents a small range of scripts covering a range of different subject areas where Javascript is often used. Enough information is provided with each script to allow some adaptation to meet individual requirements.

The biggest problem with this book is that it doesn't really teach Javascript but rather teaches how to code Javascript to achieve certain results. The first couple of chapters cover some of the basics of Javascript and the remaining chapters cover various subject areas such as Image processing, Frames, Windows, Forms, and Cookies. Everything beyond the basics of Javascript programming is only dealt with when it needs to be used by one of the scripts. This leads to an incomplete coverage of the Javascript programming language and gives the reader no clear path to follow when they want to move beyond the basic scripts presented in the book.
