4. NEW BOOKS: Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Guide,
PalmPilot - The Ultimate Guide
>Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Guide
Finally, a tutorial/reference book for DHTML that shows how to
create cross-browser/platform DHTML. Like O'Reilly's other fine
"Definitive Guides," the bulk of this 1000+ page book consists of
DHTML reference material (HTML 4, DOM, CSS1/2, and core JavaScript).
The reference pages show syntax, attributes, and NS4/IE4/CSS1/2
support for every entity, a real time-saver.
The beginning chapters offer an excellent introduction to the
components of DHTML, and include a section on how to create a
cross-browser API for easier cross-browser scripting.

Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Guide
by Danny Goodman, $39.95
O'Reilly, 1998
ISBN: 1-56592-494-0
>PalmPilot - The Ultimate Guide
For those of you with PalmPilots this book is a must have. The little
3Com product is really a Mac at heart, but with a 40K OS :) Users
will like the nifty programs and "hacks" discussed and included on
the CD, and developers will learn how to program the popular box
with CodeWarrior Lite (included).
Most people have seen people hunkered over their PalmPilots,
tapping away at their contacts, TTDs, and date books. But did you
know you could transform the thing into a teleprompter, a
flashlight/alarm clock, a 19.2Kbps wireless fax/email/telnet/Web
browser (by adding a small modem), a pager, a mobile Global
Positioning System, and enclose it in a titanium carrying case?
There's even talk of converting the thing into a universal remote
control. There are over 900 programs included in the CD-ROM, plus
Web URLs for most of the free software mentioned in the book. Pick
and choose, customize and extend your Palm to your heart's content,
or you can always use it as a $300 tip calculator.

>The XML Files: Time Out From Behaviors
When the standards don't stay still for more than a week at a time,
what's a columnist to do? But things could be worse...imagine if
you had to re-edit every <IMG> tag you ever wrote...
By Nate Zelnick
