This book makes object-oriented programming accessible and understandable to web developers. It gives great real world examples, which will work for those who only understand enough about HTML and scripting to insert them in their web pages. Plus JavaScript Objects goes on to show how to customize examples for those with greater knowledge of scripting. This enables more experienced readers to go on and build their own tools and demonstrates the powers of JavaScript as an object-oriented programming language, which has far more potential for the development of large scale applications than is currently appreciated. This is a book of JavaScript tools and projects for people who make web pages, and the programmers and future programmers who work with them. It can be used for self study, for web authoring, for web application programming, and as a textbook in a college course on "Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript."
JavaScript is a powerful, object-based scripting language that can be embedded directly in HTML pages. It allows you to create dynamic, interactive Web-based applications that run completely within a Web browser -- JavaScript is the language of choice for developing Dynamic HTML (DHTML) content. JavaScript can be integrated effectively with CGI and Java to produce sophisticated Web applications, although, in many cases, JavaScript eliminates the need for complex CGI scripts and Java applets altogether. The JavaScript Pocket Reference is a companion volume to JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition. This small book, covering JavaScript 1.2, is a handy reference guide to this popular language for Web development. It provides a complete overview of the core JavaScript language and contains summaries of both core and client-side objects, methods, and properties. Packs together the syntax of the JavaScript scripting language.
Because JavaScript is not a stand-alone technology, this book shows you how to work with such things as forms, graphics images, sound files, hyperlinks, and cascading style sheets (CSS). You will learn how to write not only JavaScript that can stand on its own within a Web page, but also how to write scripts that call functions or otherwise interact with applications written in other development languages. The programming concepts discussed within the book and shown by its examples are directly applicable to writing code in other languages. The JavaScript examples in the book's projects show where and how to insert JavaScript code within HTML tags and how to work with the document object model (DOM) to execute functions that make an otherwise static Web page an interactive document. You don't have to be a programmer to develop scripts in JavaScript. The projects presented within the book will reduce the coding work and JavaScript learning curve.
JavaScript is the scripting language of the Web. Its widespread use in web applications, and support in all modern browsers and in server-side and administration environments, make it an essential part of the programmers' toolkit. Complexity and confusion in JavaScript come not from the language, but from the number of different implementations, each with widely varying support for different APIs and standards. Written from extensive programming experience gained in developing components for a major website, this book helps you navigate those difficulties. Topics include: The JavaScript, JScript, and ECMAScript scripting languages, and their implementations in popular browsers as well as in standards documents. Coverage includes JavaScript through version 1.5, JScript through version 5.5, and ECMAScript through version 3. The DOM1 standard is covered fully and the DOM2 standard to the extent of Netscape Navigator 6.

Tucking a few JavaScript statements in among the HTML code that makes up your Web pages makes a dramatic difference. Enhanced, more interactive navigation buttons, user input validation, and scrolling messages are but a few of the improvements that you can make with JavaScript. Now, with JavaScript For Dummies Quick Reference, all the JavaScript statements and examples of how to use them are right at your fingertips. Internet technology expert Emily A. Vander Veer not only organizes all the relevant HTML and JavaScript topics for easy access but also points out potential pitfalls, offers neat tricks, and provides complete code for doing such things as interacting with cookies, displaying pop-up messages, and making your script compatible with JavaScript-challenged Web browsers. Best of all, JavaScript For Dummies Quick Reference features handy cross-references to topics covered in greater depth in JavaScript For Dummies.
The JavaScript SourceBook is a complete tutorial and reference for using JavaScript, teaching developers how to create JavaScripts and integrate them into HTML pages. With up-to-the-minute tips on creating JavaScript applications that take full advantage of new features in NetScape 3.0, the book explores JavaScript basics and features extensive discussions of advanced techniques, including JavaScript workarounds and Java applet construction for JavaScript. Includes CD-ROM with... A library of ready to use JavaScript Applications and routines, plus a selection of reusable Java Components that readers can build into their JavaScript programs. JavaScript allows programmers to build Web sites nearly as sophisticated as a Java Web site without having to do the actual programming. This will enable non-programmers to create Web sites with animation, 3D graphics, and more. A total guide to mastering JavaScript.
JavaScript Unleashed, Third Edition serves as a reference to the JavaScript language for the high-end programmer as well as a guide for developing JavaScript applications from the ground up. The topics most important to the intermediate to advanced Javascript programmer are covered, including Web security, integrating JavaScript with Java, and forms and data validation. Other topics include creating special effects with JavaScript, controlling layers with JavaScript, DHTML and Cascading Style Sheets, and using lookup tables in JavaScript. Some of the new topics covered are Internet Explorer 5, Active Server Pages, Netscape Plug-in autoinstalls and applets digital signature verification, and content layering. Presents focused explanations of the core features and complexities of JavaScript, including how to utilize the Document Object Model; add visual effects to Web pages; and implement JavaScript on the server side.
JavaScript Unleashed serves as a complete reference to the JavaScript language for the experienced programmer as well as a guide for developing JavaScript but familiar with other programming languages. Over the years JavaScript has solidified its position as the de facto standard in Web site scripting-even Microsoft uses JavaScript on its Web sites. And the capabilities of JavaScript have gradually been extended to the server side and to third-party products. JavaScript can be used in both Microsofts .NET environment and Windows Script Host, and Adobe Web development products are beginning to use JavaScript as their built-in scripting language. R.
