DOM Scripting is a vital technique for web developers and designers to learn and master in order to add such dynamic web applications as animations, maps, drag and drop, and more. This book offers comprehensive coverage of advanced DOM Scripting techniques and reads like a wish list of must have dynamic web application features, including visual effects using JavaScript libraries, Ajax, Mashups using APIs, and much more. It follows in the footsteps of Jeremy Keith's acclaimed book, DOM Scripting (friends of ED: 1590595335, 2005), helping you master the next level with countless real world tutorials.
With this second edition of the popular DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model comes a modern revision to update best practices and guidelines. It includes full coverage of HTML5 in a new, dedicated chapter, and details on JavaScript libraries and how they can help your scripting. The book provides everything you'll need to start using JavaScript and the Document Object Model to enhance your web pages with client-side dynamic effects and user-controlled animation. It shows how JavaScript, HTML5, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) work together to create usable, standards-compliant web designs. We'll also cover cross-browser compatibility with DOM scripts and how to make sure they degrade gracefully when JavaScript isn't available. DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model focuses on JavaScript for adding dynamic effects and manipulating page structure on the fly using the Document Object Model. You'll start with a crash course in JavaScript and the DOM, then move on to several real-world examples that you'll build from scratch, including dynamic image galleries and dynamic menus. You'll also learn how to manipulate web page styles using the CSS DOM, and create markup on the fly. If you want to create websites that are beautiful, dynamic, accessible, and standards-compliant, this is the book for you!
If you're a web developer with previous JavaScript and DOM scripting experience, Pro DOM Scripting with Ajax, APIs, and Libraries is perfect for you to take your knowledge up to the next level. It provides a thorough walkthrough of all the fundamentals needed to build effective dynamic web applications. The first part of the book focuses on methodology and technologies for rapid development with JavaScript, including OOP and events, but also Ajax frameworks and JavaScript libraries. The second part includes three complete projects for you to learn from: form validation, mashups, and UI design.
From this book you'll learn essential and advanced serviet and JSP skills, essential database skills. Last part of book presents an e-commerce web site (a music store)that puts these skills into context.
This is the most up-to-date book on JavaScript available, covering current standards, techniques, and practices. It provides all you need to know to hit the ground running, without making you trawl through hundreds of pages of syntax. The book contains multiple chapters on Ajax and DOM Scripting, which are two of the hottest web development and design tools available today. Using a pragmatic and thorough approach, the book ensures that even the most novice JavaScript programmers will become familiar and comfortable using the tools presented.
This "learn by example" book offers 10 complete JavaScript projects that will save web developers countless hours of development time. These projects can serve as samples to learn from and/or be adapted for use in other projects. The 10 projects all address common needs in modern web applications, including a utility library, a validation framework, a GUI widget framework, a dynamic event calendar application, a drag and drop shopping cart, and more! Coverage details JavaScript best practices, Ajax techniques, and some of the most popular JavaScript libraries, such as Prototype, Script.aculo.us, and the Yahoo YUI library.
Here is the ultimate guide to creating and extending documents within the application programming interface of the Document Object Model (DOM). The book examines real-world applications of the DOM, including exclusive case studies of DOM-based browsers and applications and provides a comprehensive, language-neutral examination of the DOM and its related applications.

Step-by-step guide reveals best practices for enhancing Web sites with Ajax A step-by-step guide to enhancing Web sites with Ajax. Uses progressive enhancement techniques to ensure graceful degradation (which makes sites usable in all browsers). Shows readers how to write their own Ajax scripts instead of relying on third-party libraries. Web site designers love the idea of Ajax--of creating Web pages in which information can be updated without refreshing the entire page. But for those who aren't hard-core programmers, enhancing pages using Ajax can be a challenge. Even more of a challenge is making sure those pages work for all users. In Bulletproof Ajax, author Jeremy Keith demonstrates how developers comfortable with CSS and (X)HTML can build Ajax functionality without frameworks, using the ideas of graceful degradation and progressive enhancement to ensure that the pages work for all users. Throughout this step-by-step guide, his emphasis is on best practices with an approach to building Ajax pages called Hijax, which improves flexibility and avoids worst-case scenarios.
