Making your web page dynamic means combining HTML, stylesheets, Javascript, the document object model, and possibly Ajax together in order to achieve your desired effect. While there are lots of books around that deal with one or even two of these, the reference books normally only cover one of these areas. This book provides all of the reference material on all these areas in the one place making it much easier to find what you need when creating dynamic web pages.
The author has checked out all of the different combinations is the various popular browsers in order to provide definitive lists of which standard and non-standard tags, attributes, commands, and options work in which versions of which browsers. The only thing really wrong with this book is that the huge amount of information provided makes this an enormous book. As most modern browsers now comply much more closely to the standards and many of the older browsers are no longer used, this book could have been made smaller without reducing its usefulness by removing the information relating to some of the older browsers that were still popular when the second edition came out but which are now no longer used.
