JavaScript Design shows designers how to create interactive JavaScript applications for the Web. Its 19 chapters are divided into 3 main sections: Basic JavaScript, which discusses the beginning, core features of the language including syntax, variable and data handling, program flow, and JavaScript objects; Using JavaScript with Web Pages, which includes topics such as the Document Object Model (DOM), window and form interactions, event handling, cookie handling, and DHTML; and finally, JavaScript and Other Applications and Languages that examines JavaScript's ability to interact with other popular Web development languages, including PHP, Perl, ASP, and Flash ActionScript.
JavaScript Design provides detailed descriptions of:
- JavaScript structures, statements and objects
- Using JavaScript to create different elements of a Web page
- Controlling a page's overall design and function with JavaScript
- Passing data and variables between clients and servers
