His general actions, for which most people will have some use, include prompting the reader for information and using a text box. The second half of the book discusses problem-solving, storing knowledge, pattern matching, game playing, dynamic HTML, and JavaScript. This is an excellent book for beginners, who can advance into very complex design considerations in the later chapters. This book shows developers without programming experience the easy way to create intelligent applications and increase interactivity. Covering both the client and server aspects of JavaScript.
JavaScript 1.5 by Example starts with a taste of JavaScript – what it is, what it's for, and what readers need to get started. The book then explains how to add JavaScript to existing HTML pages, leading readers into the fundamentals of the language including JavaScript syntax, notation and conventions, communicating with users via input and output, manipulating variables and data, logic statements in JavaScript, and object programming with JavaScript. The book progresses to an explanation of JavaScript's role in Dynamic HTML, and how that power can be exploited to create animation, navigation, forms processing and more.

Knowing JavaScript syntax is one thing; being able to build a useful application is another. While there are dozens of "how-to" JavaScript books available, few literally hand the Webmaster a set of ready-to-go, client-side JavaScript applications with thorough documentation that enables the reader to fully understand and extend those applications. By providing such a set of applications, JavaScript Application Cookbook allows Webmasters to immediately add extra functionality to their web sites. This book explores both the code and the techniques that are centered around core JavaScript functionality, a functionality that will not become incompatible or obsolete. The source file design of most applications and libraries will help modularize reader web sites and facilitate easier site management and coding practices. Chapters include a client-side search engine that will show coders how to build their own search engine and get excellent results.
